Thanks for responding so promptly: there's been quite a bit of dodginess aound here of late.AEJim said:

I came across early AE1s in two rather different connotations.
Firstly through my studio contacts, a number of muso/producer types bought them for their 'studio' type qualities, usually with pretty meaty amplifiers. The effect was generally pretty convincing, one or two trying them out in the studio.
I rather liked the 'enhanced' qualities of the original, but then I have always been a bit of a 'noiseboy' and at higher levels they were good fun.
I was less enamoured of them in more conventional setups however, they were often rather underpowered, with the consequences mentioned above.
Not at all, but if the spammers see it is possible, it will encourage them to do the same.BigH said:

In white they are £236, can't see any other versions now. I see its come up now, black only 4 left at £199.
If you want them I would order now, Richers have quite a good return/exchange policy. Join their VIP membership, you get a few freebies and maybe £10 off.
?
Why is everyone saying to just buy the 301s because they're cheap now when it's not what the original topic to be discussed was.

Don't bite the hand that feeds! All the forums are "casual chat sections". Topic drift is a fact of life. Stick around & you'll get used to it & makes threads more interesting for others that may otherwise skip replying. The S/N ratio is no lower than most Hi Fi forums. It's good to talk!
What a stupid post.
Nobody said the thread was important - you did.
But I do expect more than half the content to be relevant / useful to the question raised, not endless posts about speakers that are of no interest to me or helping the thread progress.

Topic drift is not a fcat of life and I'm not biting the hand that feeds by asking poeple to stay on topic.
There has been no feeding anyway - just lots of irrelevant noise.
Is it so hard to read the thread topic and intro post and respond? And if you have nothing relevant or insightful to add then don;t.
Really very simple.

Ok I will pick up on a few points. AE301s I went to hear them at Richers but was told they don't keep them in stock they have to be ordered in, so that may explain why they did not sell well. The Tannoys 6.1 I did hear at a different dealer and they were £900, they sounded fine if a too laid back with MArantz Pearl Lite for my taste, the cabinets are high quality, curved, not sure worth £900 but certainly in the Kef LS50 sort of price range. If you can get to hear them I would but maybe not suit your Primare amp. Not sure why you don't like the look of the 6.1s seem fairly similar to the MA silver 2 but better quality, re Kefs you talking about the LS50s?
Hi prime rib. Your the op and i guess its not unreasonable for you to want the thread to remain around your request for information..if it meanders? It happens! Lol...however its your post and ill respect that...either lspeaker is a good option! Seems the AEs are good value if you can source a pair? Good thread prime rib...im more steamed fish..lol 🙂

Very brave of you to raise your head above the parapet Mr Keeper! ;-)
I'm afriad to ask but was there speaker shoot out in an issue of What Hi-Fi a couple of months back ( I don't buy the magazine) and if so, were the disappointing Q Acoustic offerings mentioned in the earlier post by the OP the Concept 20 or one of the newer but cheaper models? I had the Concepts and thought they were brilliant little speakers...Just womdering...
To be honest i dont know? What you hear from a speaker and what i hear? are different things! I suggested in another thread that Ms 902i were very good for the money..op said he heard them and they were rubbish! What can one do? Only suggest? Prime ribs options are good ones, I'm biased as I use AEs but the monitor speakers are beautifully made! And still reassuringly expensive! We all go on this journey of chop change hifi till we feel we have the perfect set up! and then we get told in forums that we are wrong and deluded etc..hopefully by this time we are old anddont give give a hoot for peoples opinions anyway! Happy days.. 🙂luckylion100 said:
Once I've found a sound i like I'll stick with it and don't really care what other people think of it.
Just looking for the shortcut to brands that are smoother / warmer which more experienced users might just be able to point me toward a bit quicker.
If they can stay on topic.
