    M1 Clic with higher end amplification and speakers

    Have started dabbling with streaming via a SBT and am pretty hooked on it - I'm not hooked on having to use SBS via laptop to play my music though.

    Proac Tablette Anniversary

    Wondered if anyone has had a serious demo of these yet and could pass opinion? They'll be used in a 12' x 15' room, on Partington Broadsides with Musical Fidelity as source. Many thanks in advance, Paul.
