Love James MUSICRAFT - so witty and funny like Morrissey - from my home town - nice one.

As a young teenager in the early eighties I loved this guy , Steve Hillage because he was quite hypnotic - until I discovered real blues, Indian, Afghani and West African music etc

I have two very naughty subwoofers but they don`t sound like the organ at my local 14th Century cathedral My2cents with 30+ foot high , 3-4 foot wide pipes ! The only time I hear high level undistorted bass is at my friends house in Bowness. He has a 15 KW - 24 x 18" infinite baffle subwoofer...

You are quite right AI ears - I didn`t realise the date - thank you for bringing it to my attention.

I will second John Fulwoods advice about the BK range Monolith plus - I have a forward firing one and it can do 15hz in room and 20hz at over a 100 decibels cleanly with no bottoming out. The BK XLS400 being sealed sounds fabulous for music and isn`t exactly shy with movies either. Compared to a...

Would you consider Chinese speakers ? A lot of things are made in China now. I ordered these for a friend last Christmas and he loves them - you can not hear the box and the image size is massive for their size; totally holographic. You can hear what the left one is doing whilst being directly...

I just got a bit carried away reminiscing excuse me Geoff P

Oh I just realised the dates Al Ears excuse me I will mind that in the future. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thank you so much WayneKerr - I appreciate the sentiment.

I`m a tenor sax guy and I play 30`s trad because it cheers me up ( no anti depressants needed ) and is good for a cardio work out plus it`s fine in Manchester drizzle. I take after my Mum - she was a concert pianist in the Halle Orchestra in the sixties. My piano needs improvement LOL - best not...

Thanks Gray I was working as a volunteer for Medicines Sans Frontiers in Ramallah, I dug wells and dug up landlines - I was reckless then. My buddy, Mehmet stepped on a mine and it killed him instantly. I was lucky - I got blown in the air, got 4 broken ribs, fractured collarbone and some...

I had a Moggy minor with a small 4 litre block, supercharger and NOS in the early nineties. It was a sleeper apart from the massive tyres and exhaust sound - it was hand-painted with grey primer. Porsche driving yuppies used to laugh until I tickled it a bit. It could do wheelspins at 80mph and...

I`ve had some naughty speakers over the years including ATC SCM-300 passives, Acoustic Energy AE-4 studios, Rogers Studio 1a, Harbeth M40-1, Spendor BC1, Yamaha NSX-10000, vintage Ravels, Egglestone Soundworks, SD Acoustics OBS, Heybrook HB3, Proac Tablette Signature, Wilson Audio Tiny...

70`s won - Yeahhh !!! That`s when we had real choice, talent, variety and fun !

So sorry to hear about your wife having hearing problems Cricketbat70 - I totally sympathise because I got hearing damage from a landmine in 1982 in the West Bank. I never got it treated - stubbornness and vanity - now I just can`t be bothered _I`m dropping to bits - I can only see out of my...
