No, hi-fi is purely for musical pleasure for the family and I. I've never seen hi-fi related wallpaper, either except the amp, speakers etc etc for what it is or don't bother at all. Friends of ours had a B&O lifestyle system -- that was an eyesore and anti-room.

I have a local Euro Car Parts (Chessington), so I'll look there. I have purchased Maguires car polishes from Halfords in the past. Thanks 👍

As the OP likes Mordaunt Short then Amphion Argons should match taste and room size better -- or close as you can feasibly get. The Kef R3 are just too big and deep, really not practical unless you have a substantial space.

Thanks. I'll look out for it at Halfords.

Indeed. The old girl is holding up well

They are also understated design wise, but very pretty. They don't shout "look at me!" instead, they tend to go under the radar. I washed my car down the other day but didn't have time to polish it.

You're welcome sir.

Jason, have look at this titchy Leema Elements amp. They make some cracking stuff (ask any current or past owner), and they are bullet-proof for reliability and build quality. I've had my Pulse since 2010, and still sounds great on these Dali Rubicon speakers...

Has to be the Leema Pulse. Purchased it in 2010 brand new for £750, reduced from £1300 (clearance stock from SSAV) and still use it and still sounds the dogs.

My daughter passed her driving test a month ago... three days after selling her Mini Cooper. She'll be looking for a decent replacement. She test drove a 1.0 turbo Polo. Surprisingly fast for a tiny engine. The sat nav i was very impressed with. Not only a radio but did many other things I...

Jeez, that's one fugly car.

In no particular order, based on amps I've heard or read about Dalis: Arcam, Audiolab, Leema, Roksan.... But the combo will depend on room acoustics. My Dali Rubicon 2 work a treat with the Leema

I'll tell my daughter and can play to me. Thanx.

Still pretty much unchanged. The interior has been upgraded over the years

It won the best performance saloon 3 years in a row.
