There are other BMW vs Alfa comparisons, and it pretty much mirrors the above video. It's a BMW M135i vs Alfa 147 3.2 GTA. The Beema is more up to date, running costs are lower, petrol consumption is better. The steering is super quick but feels dead compared to the Alfa. The exhaust note on...

That's a pity. Make sure you purchase from a legitimate dealer, rather than a online dealer. A genuine dealer will offer a returns, just in case it doesn't quite solve your all your hi-fi woes.

Yeah, that's the only fault. Alfa have always made very pretty Sportwagons (estate) but Alfa have said they didn't want a SW otherwise it'll take sales away from the Stelvio SUV. I still say there's a place for an estate version. That would look wicked 😍

There's a review comparing the new BMW with the Giulia Cloverleaf. The new BMW M3 is faster but I'm not one for speed is everything. Also why are a lot of new cars have a cyber look? I noticed it with the new Mini. They look far from pretty. This review says the M3 can be driven at 10/10th...

I think some demos are needed. These are two different sounding speakers.

Yes, I can envisage that. I like the Amphion range, works a treat with my amp. There's the crux: I've no idea what other amps sound like with the Argons

Sounds an interesting combo, Matthew.

Hi Harris. I've no experience of the new Rubikon Range. The Neats, although a floorstander takes up no more space than the Argons, once you factor in the speaker stands. They are just as shallow, ideal for small rooms. I certainly wouldn't dismiss them without hearing a pair. Smooth or warm...

Are they being replaced or are the 1s the entry-level into the model?

I had the Argon 1s on home demo for a fortnight while the owner of the store was away on holiday. Very, very impressive all-rounder, good bass definition and nicely detailed through all frequencies. It was only when I went for a second shop demo of my Dali Rubicon 2s where the sonic shortfalls...

Some really good suggestions put forward. Amphion Argon 1 are superb speakers, and with something like a Roksan K3 or Audiolab, should sound the biz. If the Argon 1 are too big then try their smaller siblings, the Argon 0. A demo of any suggestion is essential before buying.

Can we switch back to the topic in hand, please? I knew about much of the info in the Ruth Ellis programme long before the miniseries was aired. Our Lib dem councillor, who we know quite well, Monica Weller, wrote a book on Ruth Ellis.

Yep, it's beyond belief they didn't ask basic questions.

Agreed.

Currently watching 'A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story' No doubt she was a gold digger, but the courts never asked her essential questions, such as where did she get the gun. Also how did she outside the Magdaler pub so quickly? All these questions should have been an automatic part of her...
