hi is this still available

They were my favourite band when i was 16 loved the single damaged goods and the album entertainment. Saw them around 1980 at Hammersmith palace with Pere Ubu and Delta 5. One of my first proper gigs and still one of the best. Fond memories of being right up the front of the gig and them darting...

Hi I had a good listen to the speakers on saturday night and got to sit in the middle chair for a long time having a great chat with Paul and listening to the speakers. I agreed with Paul that I liked the filter with the slight roll off. The speakers give a great open soundstage and I was...

Thanks again for all the suggestions, I think it was the tone of the Harbeths that I liked and the midrange was very sweet. I remember hearing the KEF reference at a hifi show and not liking them but when the demo guy lowered the volume from 100+db to probably 70db they sounded much better. I...

Thanks again for all the suggestions. I haven't heard sonus faber speakers but I don't like the look of them, they look stylish and well made just not my minimal style. I was wondering could you have the standmounts like the harbeths sitting on a long sideboard with say mini stands to just...

Thanks for all the reply's, i know that speakers are going to be a tricky as the room isn't big and its square but i don't listen loud so the room doesn't get excited. The proac D30R appeal but like you say are probably too big for the room. I had to google those odeon speakers, I really don't...

Yes you may well be right but its a really modern minimal interior so stands won't work.

Yes I am after speakers that are not bright, thin, dry or analytical. I like neutral to sweet, natural type of sound. I have a Naim Muso and I like the sound of that when I listen to it when I am far away from it. I think it is partly having tinnitus, I permanently have that high pitched...

Hi I heard Harbeth m30.1 and thought they sounded great, sweet midrange and not bright sounding. I would like to buy a floor standing speaker that sound similar warm sound. My wife hates stand mounted speakers so the Harbeths are a no-no. I don't expect exactly like the harbeth as they are very...

Its that day again. Any Hifi deals? I see Naim Muso is £200 off today £795 instead of £995. If you want a one box speaker then they really are very good. John Lewis and richer sounds have them.

Per flemming I'm sure you are right, I remember that it was two letters and I didn't take too much notice as it was such expensive gear I would never be buying it .

I think advert need pictures and accurate description of condition. Not one blurry photo! Also where in the country people are as its not worth replying to if someone is 300 miles away. I want to see something in the flesh if its a valuable item as some people have very optimistic descriptions...

I have fond memories of a hifi show around 9-10 years ago. Might have been at heathrow and puresound valve amplifier room. Playing music Tom Waits step right up which is a great snappy tune. It sounded great and fast and they were playing a real mix of music. Very enjoyable I mistakenly thought...

Yes the jvc ax1 was my first amp I bought second hand in Brixton in 1984 for £30 and I still have it . As the others have said this is an ok amp but its no Naim beater. Ok for a background second system and the phono stage is weak.

That video of the show is typical of the sort of awful music that they all seem to play. A single female vocal and one instrument behind her. It would be ok one song but it’s a whole show full of that stuff. Is this what the people who buy these really expensive music systems listen to at home...
