The price for the Manzoni artist excrement is an insane bargain - but it’s obviously not an original piece. One of the edition sold for 275000 euros at Sothebys fairly recently. It’s an important piece of modernist Italian art history - regardless of whether we might think it’s ridiculous.

Bravo!

Ha! I think it would take a bit more mass than those speakers to cause a steel plate to sag. It’s not an iPhone artefact either - you can hold a straight edge on the image and the edge off the plate is perfectly straight. I think it’s an optical illusion caused by the way the shadow is warped by...

In some respects the impulse are the best speakers I’ve ever owned. There are genuine wtf moments where there is a spooky sense of the musicians being in the room with me. They can be a bit harsh and occasionally even shouty with badly recorded music. My favourite ever speakers were spendor...

This is great advice and very helpful. Thank you! I’ll have a ponder. I love big 70’s speakers. I’ve owned imf rspm and meridian M1 (which have the same mid dome I think). Currently have impulse H2. These would be for my studio - which is likely to be about 650 square feet. So I would like...

I’m interested in these. Though hard to find anything about the active version of these on line. Where are you please? I’m in Se London Ben

Where are you based?

Very cool! I’ve heard them - pretty good.

I imagine you won’t try and courier them? I’m in London.

Where are you based please?

You mean Hemel Hempstead !

They all sounded awful! I agree about the rhythm seeming a bit snappier in A, but everything else about it sounds lo fi. B maybe a bit more detail, but only marginally - Bass seemed blobby, though. C sounds like a different room, neither better nor worse.

First full length feature film - is more accurate. I was at college with Steve and he made some incredible short films at goldsmiths in the early 1990’s. They didn’t garner much attention beyond the art world, but there was a buzz building around him even as a student. He was surprisingly...
