    Fred and Rose !

    Well Rose (West) didn't notice Fred taking lots of women into the back room :confused: so I would say you've got a very good chance that she wouldn't notice a thing :cool:

    Well,the lovely Rose West said during the trial and while on oath that she didn't hear or notice a thing about Freds' shenanigans in the back room and I always believe the word of a Lady ;)

    On the speakers:

    "Pictures do not do them justice. They are beautiful to behold."

    I guess it really does lie in the eye of the beholder. He probably also has a crush on Godzilla.

    Am I the only one thinking that it's a lot of kit (or mess if you prefer :D ) for $11k ( £6-7k)?

    It seems like a lot of home-built stuff. Hope he was good with a soldering iron. Mind you it'd look good in an unlit room

    it looks like a lot of fun to me. If I had the room and the money to fritter I'd give it a shot. Big if obviously. You'd have to fly the guy the guy over to commission it !

    I'm sure it sounds great and the guy is obviously a very keen DIY'er. From a purely aesthetic point of view it looks to me like he got a whole load of electrical and electronic components, but them in a box and threw in a grenade, this is where everything landed after it went off.

    So, he is a chap with 300B SET amps, and horn speakers with 15" bass cabs.

    It is NOT me. Honest.

    Shame he didnt take a bit more care over the appearance, but I bet it sounds great. A lot of people would get a shock if they heard it I'd warrant :)
