I got some System 1000s (10 inch polymer cone) from my good friend MarkS a couple of years ago and have never looked back. Very low distortion - subjectively - and I don't hear any of the infamous Tannoy coloration. Excellent liear bass for the size. Never got my friend with bigger Tannoys -...

Then excuse me, I misunderstood - hope that did not come across as patronising. My favourite release of the last year is David Torn's Presenz, on ECM. We saw the same band at the Vortex in London last month. Sadly, it was much too loud, so I had tissue in my ears for the whole gig - so did...

Another sad week. Too many this year. http://www.guardian.co.uk/obituaries/story/0,,2173763,00.html Andy
