....but I can see the angry glow of beautiful Mrs. Cno's face; not so much in the distance. Her message is not quite along those lines. They are too big for the Doghouse........Apparently!

A DSpeaker Antinode will sort that out for you! ;)

The only Woofers in that Doghouse don't need it. *blum3*

Those 'gold' (copper?) drivers would put me off. They scream 'Look at me' and are going to look dated very quickly. They would have been far better in matt black. Understated and classy.

(I'm a designer, - can you tell?)

Good man. I need lots of negative comment to put me off my notion! *biggrin*

Anyone else?

I really love these too. They look much better on the Electric Beach website which is also superb. They also do a silver version. Another kit builder!

I think you should go ahead and buy them Cno. - You could always spray the offending copperyness with a can of matt black car paint when you get tired of looking at them! *smile*

The difference between the Reference and Blade, for me, is akin to that of the R Series and Reference...

On my brief listen, I thought that the the Refs were closer to the Blade than they were to the R Series.....but I haven't heard them side by side (Refs vs Blade)....and I'm sure you have.

The way I see it Cno you have no Kef Refs but you do have two kidneys and a simple exchange on the black market would balance things up nicely.

I have some Kef Refs........and Kidneys that generate stones. *dash1*

You have the old Kef Refs but there are newer shinier Kef Ref available now and OCD audiophiles just have to have the newest and best at any cost. Also if you sold a kidney you'd only have half the amount of stones. Win Win. ;)

p.s. Hope you are feeling a better BTW. :)

Tell me something I don't know!

Obviously that doesn't apply to AVI owners. Oh, actually it does ... doh!

Actually Cno take a leaf out of my book. Be weak and give in to the temptation to upgrade to the newest and best. Down that path lies true happiness. :D

I think you should set your sights on the Blades. Once you realise that is truly insane, then getting the new Refs will seem to be a totally reasonable compromise. Steve's idea of selling body parts is perfectly legitimate, especially since bits of you have just been recently servciced so have a lot of miles left in them!

Likewise, hope the tubes come out soon, if not already. I just had an all clear from the urology specialist yesterday, having been under suspicion of the dreaded C word for the last few months, so we should celebrate together! I'll purchase some aurelex pads if you acquire the KEFs!

I think I'm going to take up another hobby that doesn't involve body parts.....like Train Spotting or Bog Snorkling.
