    ATC SCM20ASL review - 5 stars!

    I've often been tempted to listen to pair, whether active or passive. I'm guessing they are challenging to drive, passive I mean, that's why I looked elsewhere. I did hear a pair of older SCM 11s, when I was invited to The Towers back in 2009. They were very good but they were driven by a 130...

    CD vs vinyl playback

    I've always had a constant response to any of these questions: Don't just choose one format, embrace as many formats as you can. I have both analogue and digital, with the exception of streaming. I can't have it the internet connection is awful where we live.

    This lorry decided to get stuck a couple of weeks ago, underneath the railway bridge on the A25 near where it joins the A3. It was traffic chaos.

    They seem to buy SUVs because it goes well with their friends, not because they need one to fit a big family or run a business. I won't ever change to an SUV to suit others. The Sportwagon is plenty big enough for my needs.

    It's changed so much. It's a nightmare. The amount of roadworks in Guildford is staggeringly bad.
