Richer Sounds and the new Onkyo pre/power amp combo.

ATC's room and their active SCM 20 ASLs doing their thing. The Waters Lockdown album sounded fantastic with this rig.

The CAD room, some very nice looking and sounding gear in here. Also, not cheap...!

Acoustic Energy's AE1 40th Anniversary speakers, their Exposure series amps and Michell Gyro SE deck.

And that's it, done, dusted!

Beautiful write up. Did they have hardware on offer and what sort of discounts did they have? Thanks.

Some did, the usual 10-15% discounts for some. Have to admit I wasn't really seeking those out but there were a few to be had.

(Didn't see much in the way of "50% discount - special show offer!!" knocking around though...!)

Beautiful,write ups @record_spot

I’m really keen to hear more about AlChris and where Alan’s speaker punched compared to NEAT Elite Classics or Mystiques or similar from Spendor.
My TX9s are absolutely sublime and I really must be happy !

Neat, as far as I'm aware, stuck to the Iota IIs for the most part, but I think the fact you've landed a pair of really good speakers from a brand I was unaware of and that perform so well, for really good money, is a huge bonus.

I don't recall seeing many, if any, Spendors kicking around fine to think of it.
