willgaunt:I hear that a point against was size.

That was just an 'unofficial' opinion from JD stating that he thought they looked big.

A speaker is the size it is.

You can't mark down a small speaker for not being big, or penalise a big speaker for not being small.

Actually size isn't the issue as far as I'm concerned - I'm moving from floorstanders anyway so it really doesn't worry me. Just interested and typically impatient!

Ee Bricky!!

Yes I did thanks.

Although good parametric equalisers can be more expensive than an entire mid-range hifi of the kind your speakers are aimed at. And they have professional studio 'aesthetics' that would look awful in most domestic settings.

These look interesting, anyone got their pair yet and can tell us what they are like.

Ricky, intrigued about your comment a while back " they would be fine with something like a Kandy" does this mean you used one to develop them?? The Neats dont do it for me, the spennies not quite perfect, so the next step was to audition some SCM11 and 19s but these make the world suddenl;y a lot more interesting!

I used a Caspian as opposed to a Kandy but the driveability of both amps is similar.

willgaunt dont worry about the review you are not missing much really poor right up do detail about half a page tops and it tells nothing about what kit they used cables stands and they dont give any info on bass range or anything they go on about build yet they dont show pics of the side bottom back of the speaker. It gets 5 stars and i really wish i had £500 spare now eb1's look awesome.

Bang goes one of the reasons I would buy a copy of WHF this month.

Ah, that picture of a speaker's bottom? Now there's another trick we've missed...

Well, when I was in the office last week I thought the plan was to put it on the site this weekend. But unfortunately I have been in Venice this weekend seeing some rather larger speakers, with a rather larger price-tag - ?140k+ - so I am not sure what's happened in this respect... BTW blog coming soon on those speakers, having some picture problems ATM...

 

[Anonymous]

Lucky you!!.

 

[Andrew Everard]

Agreed: not an entirely unpleasant way to spend a weekend seeing and listening to a speaker with a production run of 30, all of which are sold, so unlikely ever to be reviewed (by me, at least)...

What's Smuggs on about??

EB Ricky:What's Smuggs on about??

It seems he has read the EB2 review and thinks it's rubbish. (The review, not the speaker.)

I think.

 

[John Duncan]

Not enough pictures of its bottom, apparently.

He may be buying the wrong magazine.

JohnDuncan: He may be buying the wrong magazine.

But the review's not in Mayfair. Is it???

No - Haymarket, which is a few roads further east.

Whatever it says, it's a 1st test. If they do a group test with it, (hmmmmm) then they will go into more detail. 1st test in my experience is only a starting point. Wish I could see this review!.

I really don't know what all the fuss was about. It's as I said, a first test. Did better than I thought actuaally. The acid test will be when it is put up aginst some good competition ( says he

).
