    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!”

    Don't know them, but all the octagonal Philips units like that seemed to me to be pretty good. Not much of a risk at that price.

    Philips speakers tend to be good, although that hard dome tweeter was not one of their best efforts. It works, but is a bit 'sizzly'. The speakers should be OK as a whole though.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I didn't mention the possibly slightly sizzly tweeter, as at this price, not really important. Might have tamed a bit after all these years!

    You may like them and at the 'buy it now' price you can't really go wrong, but the Pageants will be superior.

    So are many. Not usually a problem, especially with more modern amps.
