I loved my Castle Chesters, which I think I bought about 1991, and kept them for far too long. Eventually ended where you are with lovely D7s, acquired about 6 years ago, but skipping the intermediate steps.
HahahaNeat Petite III - Which I loved and foolishly swapped
Those were the days eh?...I liked them as much as you loathed themTigerjones said:Hahaha

Some old B&O’s when I was a student
Sonus Faber Minima’s since 1993: they have survived every upgrade from Harman-Kardon 635 to Naim 552/135’s and will probably be in my living room long after me... Briefly had to make room for Sonus Faber Electa Amator II’s but the latter are now in the second system (triple the price and only half as good).
BTW I haven’t heard the new Minima’s but bad-mouths pretend they don’t have the same magic.
