I'm worried the cabinet won't take the weight of the space deck!

I've been looking for another pair of SCM10s for the 2nd system, specifically in the very rare Yew finish. After years of looking a pair found me and very happy!
Will be used with the Lyngdord TDAi2200 with DSP and the Castle/ATC subwoofer.

You need a sub in yew now. It never ends
I'm sure I came across to you years ago to buy a vinyl cleaning gizmo. If I'm right you gave me a quick demo of the JBL wardrobes at the back - they were phenomenal.

Yes, I've also been thinking of moving from P6 to P8, so your impressions would be interesting.
good spot. normally there is a rug there but it was off being cleaned at the time.

Hi @seagullsnacker and @Darkagesound thanks for your questions.
It's too early to say in detail as I only got it this morning.
First impressions are great. It looks and feels far nicer than the P6 too.
Been listening to a bit of jazz, then led Zeppelin 2, then two early Bruce Cockburn albums and now a bit more jazz. What I can say for sure is that it doesn't sound disappointing.
I was thinking of stretching to a P10 but it just felt too expensive, including those high-end (to me) cartridges so this feels about right for my system,.
Best wishes, Peter

Found a pair far more quickly than I dared hope. An early Cherry pair bought today from a chap who’d owned them from new, and moved them just once due to a house move two years ago. As folk advised, the Cherry finish has darkened considerably over time, but the grain still stands out beautifully (though not so much in this picture under lightbulbs this evening).
Much as I love my SBLs (and the four or five pairs that preceded them starting in 1995) these are a surprisingly clear step up, and I can see why I felt no need to sell my previous pair until life intervened in 2007 (perils of working for start-ups!).
Funnily enough I recall the last track we played on that system in 2007 (Antony and the Johnsons - Hope There’s Someone, which was a difficult listen on a kitchen or car radio, but makes perfect sense on a HiFi) and it sounded as good as I’d hoped. Followed by several more of my go-to favourite albums I’m really, really, pleased I decided to go back down this path.
Fair warning I’ll post another picture in better lighting soon, and sincerely hope the full room refurb will provide another opportunity to do so again later this year.

They’re very elegant, and that picture captures that very well.
