Well, here in the town where I live, you definitely have to visit a high end store to get the brands you named. Those Magnolia shops or rooms are limited to the Best Buy stores where there are big bucks in the surrounding community. In fact, the one store here that had B is closed. So if you want

Okay thanks. I've since been talking to a couple of people who inform me that the Best Buys chain have B P7 headphones so I guess it figures that they should have other B products. We don't have a Best Buys in Australia but we do have discount stores such as JB Hi-Fi And Dick Smith which

Certain Best Buy stores have the Magnolia room, which is a high end hi-fi, probably other stuff too like high end a/v receivers, area in the store. Our local store doesn't have that. It may be that these high end rooms inupscale shopping areas have some B stuff. Mary

You're not going to find B computer speakers at Best Buys as far as I know, we're talking about "A Cut Above The Average" here . On 27/05/2016 11:50 AM, Brent Harding wrote: That's a brand I've heard a lot about online, but never got to actually hear how they sound. I imagine

That's a brand I've heard a lot about online, but never got to actually hear how they sound. I imagine they don't sell many, if any at all, of their speakers in the major chain stores like Best Buy. One of their smaller Airplay systems might be nice though. - Original Message - From

I still remember the blazing sound of the B A5 and I often kick myself for selling that unit as soon as I did given it took me a little longer than I anticipated to save for the A7 but that can't be helped and - given the sound of the A5 - I just can't wait to have the A7 in my den. I know

I know what you mean about the take over. If the company that took them over is smart, they'll let them alone to do what they do best. Still, glad I got the m1 and the p7. Mary

Yep indeed, they're desktop units but I still think - even given their price - they're amazing. As you've stated the tops and bottoms of those speakers aren't emphasised in any way, its a nice honest and flat sound and that's great for music. 50HZ is about right, I think the specs quote

Dane Got it sorted thanx! Pricy but the most amazing set of speakers I have ever owned. Just keep in mind they're desktop speakers. They're not made to fill a whole room. I've heard criticism about that. My feeling is though that you buy a set of speakers for the purpose you want to use

Fanus Yes two separate speakers. They connect by usb to your computer directly so you do not need to use an external digital to audio converter for them. The connections are all at the back on the underside of the speaker. They run from their own power supply so they are not portable
