reading this thread on saturday, i could not help myself ordered sat pm was delivered this morning (tues) plugged it in at lunchtime then left it on had a 5 minute listen.. mmm any way 8pm tonight its sounds much better.. i have been two-ing and frowing between the onboard dac on the dvd player.. i ...

pauls spot on steve.. like me, and a few others on this board, paul knows a good valve when he see's it.. there s nothing wrong with more of the modern valves (post war ?) but the early ones .... they are hard to find and take some reconising as info is not as easy to find.. i know paul likes the 01...

Paul they look very interesting... are the bass drivers in a backless cab... if they are this may be some use... again from olson via briggs... all those peaks can result in bass colour to some point... i have one of john crabbe's books, it is a good read, i think at the time of writing it in '69, h...

Now the sand filled 250hz front horns arrived. Oh yes (inset a Churchill emoticon) Very nice, great blend with OB, has to sit amongst the baffle anway, as the full baffle required for bass. . paul, this is sounding like your really on the way with these... very impressed any chance of a photo? ... ...

I must be one of the only people here who hasn't heard a Naim anything whatsoever. i had a quick listen at the bristol show.. and i had a cpuple of days with one that cost around £600 a few years ago ..i did not buy it though... if i had i may not be in the sorry state i'm in now... with a house fu...
