    Yes one of the nicest sounding speakers at the Manchester show last year. Bizzarely they had them teamed with a £600 CD and Amp. Very open. Very nice clean sound, I really liked them, seem to work very well, integrated mid, bass and top. I'd like to hear them with some nice valves and a turntable.

    I rather liked them too... they were definitely one of the better (and memorable rooms) from the manchester 2006 show. They were partnered with, as LS mentioned, a rather modest set of components (Astin-Trew AT3000 CD player, AT2000 amplifier) and the whole thing was rather enjoyable. I don't clearly remember specifics that far back, but I recall being suitably impressed by them.

    Not really BBV, but under show conditions it's hard to tell. It was one of the only memorable rooms that year though.

    I heard them last year. Fabulous with Santana and the like. Didnt feel they handled complex orchestral half as well - became a bit congested and lifeless. But room dynamics could help that a lot I think.
