There was nothing pompous about it - merely an observation that £170 doesn't buy very much these days - not even a Squeezebox. As for uninformed, I have heard both the Wharefdales and the Quads actually and they are both OK (I preferred the Quads). They both represent good value for money. My point was that the SB can live in much better company so don't restrict your horizons (unless of course funds are the issue). Anyway, thanks for the gratutious comment. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... ...SB3+TACT+Altmann+MF DACXV3/Linn tri-amped Aktiv 5.1 system and some very expensive cables ;o) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38541
