Therefore, to claim that both speakers advertised sound the same is nonsense, and as such, you’d be sat listening to two different sounds coming out of each speaker…………..

    And with the Elton John connection downplayed...I wonder why?!?!
    And the Red driver is one of the late ones - non hammerite, strawberry/pinkish magnet cover - that collectors seem to rate only a little above golds...Still, despite the impedance mismatch and the different crossover we are assured once again that sound wise you simply cannot tell the difference...
    So that's alright then.

    If these go a cheaply as I think they might, they’ll be a REAL bargain:

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
