    B Stock

    I agree with the comprehensive explanation above - bottom line is that they are 'mechanically' perfect and fully warranted. I have previously bought some £3K speakers (which there was no chance I could have paid the full price for) B stock for half price....Tatty boxes which nobody ever saw in...

    More demo feedback...

Changing the speakers to Tannoy Glenair 10s completely transformed my system and sorted out the bass in a way which...
