I have a room that is 4m x 3m, and my LS50s are 25cm from the back wall with the outer bung fitted, 2metres apart and 50cm from side walls. They sound far better in that position than when they were 60cm out from the back wall without the outer bung. They sound great, much more satisfying than...

Tunng and their album Turbines.....what a good call ! Thanks for that. Ben Howard’s Every Kingdom is quality too. I’ve just put on Hudson Taylor’s album Singing For Strangers (Battles being my favourite track).

The Levellers new album, We Are The Collective recorded at Abbey Road studio no less, with the producer John Leckie.

Lee Marvin’s Wandrin’ Star.

if it helps.... I had KEF Q300 speakers paired with a NAD c356bee amp and to my ears it sounded pretty darn good

A slightly different flavour to try is Willy Mason and his album Carry On. Saw him when he was a support act for Ben Howard.

Irish brothers Hudson Taylor are worth a listen, surprisingly they only have one album Singing For Strangers. Makes me wonder how many artists and bands dont make it.

I often turn to Yo-Yo Ma’s album Bach Trios when I want some simple and beautiful music

Thanks for that, I really like it. for some upbeat folky stuff 3 Daft Monkeys album Year of The Clown, quite lively.

Sam Carter’s album The No Testament has an air of simplicity that is refreshing, and it also has a feel good factor too.

The Transports album was enjoyable, thanks. I loved the spoken word intro. Some meaningful and contemporary grass roots folk.... Phat Bollard, Brew for the Barrowman.

Joe Strummer’s Get Down Moses, a great way to kick start the day.

Not sure if anyone has already mentioned Glen Hansard... just playing his album Rhythm and Repose, it’s just right for lazy Sunday afternoon.
