err, whats a snug?
 
I had a meal in a pub in 'a snug' last Thursday. It was quite a compact space of 4 tables and chairs, so enough for 16 people plus space to walk through. :)
 
Mac mini, Lavry DA10 DAC, Adam S2Xs and Adam Sub 10 with a 55" Sony TV between the speakers. It's far and away the best and most versatile system I've owned and have no intention of changing any of it.
