eBay stuff (Part 2)

You could go with these from the same seller for the sheltered accomodation vibe.

Iā€™m not sure there is a pair of speakers made that hasnā€™t been suggested at this point

Bang for buck has to be 10-20 year old triangles. Very non offensive look wise and very easy to drive

Hifi logic; looking for speakers, so just bought an amp and tuner :man_facepalming:

Itā€™s taken me a while to identify what I donā€™t like about my current set-up, being a relative new comer to this game. Current speakers have a midrange hump, typical of the modern Sonus Faber house sound.

Recent listening turns out I prefer the sound of speakers such as Snell A / Audio Note J / Shahinian Obelisks / Fyne 702.

Just need to find something that fits with the modest proportions of my living room, which is 3 x 4.5m.
Not heard any Triangles, so will seek some out for a demo.

If anyone does want to deal with Emporium, deal off of Ebay to haggle a much better deal, and ideally visit the Norfolk site to see and hear the kit. So long as you arrange in advance they can be perfectly accommodating.

They do buy a LOT of kit and donā€™t often check it themselves, so get caught out with duffers sometimes, and I must admit will cheerfully sell same to the unwary.

If itā€™s biggish bucks, do visit.

Stratford upon Avon, so a fair distance, but thank you. Seems there arenā€™t many older models around for sale, which is probably a good sign.

And me from you Nick :wink: - lovely though

If he likes bass Iā€™m not sure Treeongles are the right choice.

@spenagio I wonder whether a trip to Malvern or Stoke to audition hORNS Aria II might be worth a shot?

If you want ā€˜dustbin-lid-in-a-Corsaā€™ bass, then Iā€™d agree, but if you want fast, tight bass that integrates well in smaller rooms, not so much. You just have to match speaker size to room - and, admittedly, that generally means buying bigger than your wife wantsā€¦
