You've been busy, Gel. I too found the £242 price at that retailer. Cheapest I have found so I'll be using that as my bargaining tool, I'll try and get some batteries thrown in too for good measure.

Thanks for that. I'll have a look about to see if I can find a deal.

I'm thinking of purchasing the Bose headphones in the next couple of weeks. Good to hear they are getting great reviews. Gel, where did you find them so cheap so that John Lewis would price match as I don't think they match online retailers? Thanks in advance for your help.

To me this sounds like an interconnect problem on the back of the unit. I would suggest that one of the connection ports is loose meaning the signal isn't getting through. This happended to my old Martantz CD player, as I kept moving it! You may be able to fix it by opening up the unit and...

I've taken the 'anti-topple' base off the speakers and used the supplied spikes. They pierce the carpet and sit on the solid floor beneath. I've moved the speakers 45cm (most I could reasonably go) away from the rear wall and toed them in a little more. The change is notable and made a...

My speakers are around 10 cm away from the rear wall, 1.5m away from the side walls and 2m apart. I sit 4m away from the speakers, directly in the centre. The speakers are slightly toed in. I've tried putting in the provided bungs but they don't seem to make much of a difference.

Hi all, I've had my B&W 683 S2's - running off a Roksan Kandy K2 BT - for around 3 weeks now. I've been playing then for a couple of hours a day at a moderate sound level (have to keep the wife happy; and the neighbours) in order to 'run them in'. I've noticed that these speakers, whilst they...

Only just stumbled upon this thread. Whilst I'm not an avid classical music fan I am trying to broaden my horizons. Now this may be frowned upon but I'm really enjoying Einaudi and Helen Jane Long at the moment. Very simple piano music but I find it relaxing and an enjoyment. Have you lot...

Sheffield, UK.

I've have just ordered some B&W 683 S2's from my local dealer and can't wait to get them home. I was considering trying the CM 9's as they are currently on offer, just £200 more than the 683's. However the delaer said they are extremely hard to drive; he hooked them up to his Roksan Caspian amp...

The Roksan K2 BT is slightly more powerful than the standard version. I agree though, don't buy speakers if you can't afford a decent amp to drive them. Ebay may be your best bet. There are some cracking deals to be had at the moment.

I wanted to do that but my new stereo system will be sitting in its new stand too far away from sky box. It would have been ideal though.

My system is all but complete. But I just want to add a way of listening to the radio, especially BBC radio 6. I've looked at DAB seperates but the choice is very limited. Is there a better way of listening to DAB stations; such through the Internet? Could I stream direct to my Roksan K2 BT...

Well, i went to listen to some speakers at the weekend, both floorstanders and standmount. After considering all my options I have opted for the B&W 683 S2 - in my mind, and my ears, they sounded by far the best: well balanced with very punchy bass. I also auditioned the Monitor Audio Silver 8...

I think I am in the minority in liking Roksan products, both in sound and aesthetics. The deals you can get on these products is also appealing, especially when, like me, budget is tight. What speakers do people recommend to run with Roksan? I hear Rotel and B&W go hand in hand. What about...
