I can't get my head round Sony making Hifi, walkmans and tv's yes, but real hifi??
Most people know I won't have a bad word said about Exposure but these Sony amps are absolutely superb. The 770ES reminds me somewhat of my old IVDR - that feeling of having loads in reserve and a sheer sense of gravitas to its sound. Bass that hits really hard yet with not one ounce of bloom - just how it should be imho.
I'm just glad our nearest neighbour's house is over 30 yds away (as I'm sure they are too).
But Gromit if your lugholes are saying it sounds anything like a IVDR (which I had) then it must be good. I don't know what you can pick them up for but I would have thought you would get a lot of bang for your buck.

The Jap manufacturers made some proper kit back in 70s, 80s, and some into the 90's - don't underestimate them on looks and tin lids, they're properly designed and built to last a lifetime

The "modern" stack drives my favourite Ergo loudspeaker system, the E-IIIR comprising Hiquphon OW1, Seas M15CH001 and Scan-speak 25W8565-01 in a sealed enclosure.
I like the look of those!

Thank's arthur
Some v interesting systems on here, I've enjoyed having a sticky beak
My system:
Squeezebox Touch with PSU
Audiolab MDAC
ATC SCM 50 ASL active monitors
Rythmik Audio 12" sub
Also Meridian 507 CD player, but pretty much redundant now that I have the MDAC...
All sitting on Mana stands.

some of their "ES" line are awesome and their "1" series are pretty much no compromise (give or take).
I've still got one of these (albeit modded)

Its odd to have stands costing more then the speakers -- again.
The MEGs were too good as little used secondary speakers (ideal primaries in a small living room) but only occupied the last 5% of my time doing stereo check-mixes. Better use of studio funds. Perfect for near field and more forgiving of point source nonlinearity than the ADAM A5X
Many hate HS10s, which is why I was interested as I found haters are, in almost every instance, wide of the mark.
Here's a quote I found from Steven Wilson who manages to make some pretty good recordings.
“It doesn’t matter which speakers you have in your studio, even if they are total crap. It’s only important to know how they change the sound of your music.”
He uses Quested H108 and Genelec 8030A with a sub.

I used to have one of these pre-Esprit preamps. A serious beast.

The volume knob is actually a 150-step attenuator:

Those stands are amazing - I need to check these out. Thanks for posting.
