    Snell's usually sound best with high mass stands like the pirates and huygens.

    This is what a lot of people say but Peter Empson at Deco really rates the Something Solids - totally against the grain I admit, but I could never get my old AN AX-2's sounding good (which Audio Note state should be used on high mass stands) but on trying the SL24's I was really taken aback at the result, tidied them up no end. Could do with some shorter stands for the K's though as from our sofa the bass unit is at ear level which isn't ideal - and looks a bit daft too.

    Let me try & sum up...

    Sold the Snells, swapped the Edens out for the good old Q acoustics, swapped the Expo out for the good old Sony & the Pioneer PL-71 has got some competition on its hands in the guise of a Sony TT-?
