In another room (I think it was Origin Live) they had an expensive looking turntable feeding a Sugden A21SE amp driving a pair of Q Accoustics 3020's - with a caption something like ' see how good music can sound with a £169 pair of speakers'.?
....and how good did it sound?
To my ears - pretty good actually. In another room they had a pair of the new Mission VX range (VX1 I think) being driven by Audiolab power amplifiers. And as above, I heard both the Tannoy Mercury 7.1 and the floorstanding Eclipse model driven by a Rega Elex-R. All similar prices, and not much difference but if I had to take a pair home, it would be the 3020's. ?
It is unlikley however, that anyone buying any of the above will be matching them with a £1000+ turntable and Sugden A21SE or the full Audiolab set up, or even the Rega stuff which at £1500 (for the Elex-R + Apollo-R) was the 'cheapest'.
