No they need to come down off there. Thanks for reminding me!

Dev, I'd be grateful if you could post your impressions once you've had a good listen to these. I've got a pair of Klipsch La Scalas (basically the big brothers of these, but with horn bass).

Imagery is pretty good, but I certainly wouldn't call it holographic. Admittedly, I'm sitting far too close to them - big speakers, not so big room - so I'd be intrigued to hear how you get on with these 'mini-horns'.

BTW, reservations about holography aside, I do like my La Scalas

Everyone in my family thinks they are ugly, so that means they should sound good, right?. I finally got around to listening them properly and I think they are great but not as good as my Tannoy D700, IMO of course. Tannoys image a lot better and seem more rounded performer. Listening to Jimi Hendrix and Free on the Heresy was great fun but with some classical discs Tannoys are better at separating instruments. I could live with either TBH.

Well Dev if you get them and don't like them then put me top of the list for next possible owner. £350 sounds like a bargain to me and like yourself I've always wondered what they were like and fancied getting hold of a pair. Bit miffed I didn't spot Lordsummit's ad before you, goddammit.

Can I be next in the queue if they do not suit

They are yours for what I paid for them (£350). I genuinely like them and at the price I think they are a bargain. Posting them is not an option, because the crossover sits loose at the bottom of the cabinets and will break if left in the trusted TLC of the couriers. So collection from Ilford or meet halfway.
