Don't tell me, he's 87?
They are good at the stop start thing aren't they.
Nice one.
Linky no worky though!
Black ones would look so much better with that wall paper ;-)
I've had mine a couple of weeks, they keep surprising me, bass jumps out of nowhere from favourite tracks........Love 'em
take the 'v' off the link at the beginning
Well finally bought a pair and here they are set up. I have to say they fullfill my expectations in every way. They stop and start on a sixpence, and I am amazed to how much depth they have, dynamics are superb, stereo width is great. I would have to spend serious money to better these.

Thanks for that Gaius. I am bit fed up with ported bloaters booming all over the place that need to be in the middle of the room to work. Would you say you lose some depth with them to the back wall?
I once owned the following system: CDX2-XPS2-NAC202-NAPSC-HiCap-NAP200-NAC A5-SBLs, so a perfect Flat Earth system.
It was the only system on which, one day, listening to an old recording of Julius Katchen playing Brahms' piano music (an early recording by DECCA), I could almost feel I could measure the distance between me and the piano in the recording venue.
Talk on Naim and lack of depth is almost always misinformed blah blah. What Naim doesn't deliver is the fake 3D illusion of typical hi-fi. What it often delivers is the sensation of the presence of music, and this, with the best systems, means that the ambient data can reconstruct the sensation of space.
SBLs are great speakers, if that is what you're after - like it always is.

I've attenuated the original one + wool felt on the surround (Like Defraction be gone)
When I put up the WTD add for cross-overs I got offered 2 pairs (sorry can't remember from who though) modifying a spare pair may be the easiest way to A-B comparisons?
Again internet myth, but the tweets may be glued/siliconed in, the only way to get them out is to either damage the driver, or cabinet?
