My wife enjoys her sounds as much as I do :-) The speakers are line dipoles so there is little reflected energy and it doesn't sound 'boxy' or 'echo-ey'. There are low level CD shelves on one side and records on the other side; the start of the CD ones can be seen on the right of the picture...

The silver box provides an appropriate seat from which to cue records :-) I have tidied up since the photo and record deck sits directly on the stand with the power supplies moved to a shelf below

Current setup:

Apologies for the multiple posts - though it is a great bike. Clearly, I was having some upload issues and I cannot now delete!

How about a BMW R1100S; well in your budget:

+1 :-)

Hole saw is a good approach. Most useful tool for such jobs would be a Dremel...

There is a Van den Hul MC10 (I think, from memory) going online (may be Emporium - I'll confirm if you are interested) with a new diamond for £500. Fantastic little cartridge

So I nominate the Infinity IRS V. If you want a new loudspeaker, the Avantgarde Trios. If you want a new British speaker, probably the B&W 600 diamond, but only if they get some bass reinforcement. The rest are toys. You know, for kids. +1 for Infinity, though I'd put the IRS I as the best...

I second the suggestions re big JBLs, Infinity (used to have a pair of RS IIbs) and Kef You do not need dinner plate drivers for deep, deep bass - I have a pair of Genesis 350s which have 4* 8" drivers per speaker and these have active amplification AND equalisation to keep bass tight I have...

It is also well worth checking out the Baseballs who take new songs and turn them into Doo Wop classics. I think their album 'Strike' is especially strong; very well done stuff

I agree with Muzzer. I too have a Paradox with external power supply which replaced a full-monty Perpetual Technologies (Dan Wright breathed- upon!) with upgraded power supply and interpolation. I demoed the Paradox initially, thinking that it might come 'close but no cigar'. The Paradox...

Re Mike R's comment: I have an SME V on an Avid with a VdH Colibri and it works very well. It is critical to get vte dialled in right as it will sound splashy if this is not the case +1 for SME V :-)
