    That is more than a little bizarre. Seen it before, couldn't really believe it, now I know I'm not dreaming. Hours of fun to be had reading that listing.

    "LOUD treble is 10 sweeter than most GBP £300 to GBP £1000000 speakers". Are there any £1 million speakers out there?

    Last time I checked, the German Physiks Tiebreak speaker was the most expensive domestic audio speaker at $250,000

    I had one of their amps before; kt88 jobby. It was really bloody nice actually, bought it 2nd hand off ebay. I sent a request for a brochure from their website (I think) and when it arrived it was just like that ebay description, a mad rambling rant, completely nuts. Then I enquired about replacement valves and let on that I'd bought the amp 2nd hand and after that they refused to reply to my mails - even though I wanted to buy the valves from them. They don't like the idea of their amps being sold on, they only like their amps being bought directly from them, if you haven't you will get no support or help from them. Shame really, as I quite liked the amp, but their attitude spoilt it for me so I got rid.

    I'm tempted by the "buy it now price"

    ....what if someone beats me to these?

    My favourite bit is the 'beware of fakes' bit - In all my years I've never seen or heard of these speakers before, so we're not exactly being over run by 'fakes'.

    And... it timed out but it's back up again...

    I like
    "BID NOW ! The sooner you bid, the sooner you get in the queue !"

    "+ SUPERB BASS (2 time to 100 times better than 6 inch speakers or subwoofers in smallish box)"

    "1. I felt that it could not play insanely loud"
    "The treble can now go insanely loud, WITHOUT getting harsh!"

    "Measurement is usually useless for DEEP bass.
    Unless you measure a loudspeaker at the top of a 30 feet pole,
    the measurement for DEEP bass is usually wrong !
    Even if you did that, does the measurement of loudspeaker
    on top of a 'bizarre unreal' 30 feet pole
    bear any USEFUL MEANINGFUL relationship
    to loudspeakers in your 10 feet by 20 feet living room ?"

    "GUARANTEED ABSOLUTELY 100% NOT IRRITATING BASS,
    AND YOU CAN LISTEN FOR 10 HOURS STRETCHES,
    AND YOU STILL WANT MORE !"

    So insane, bizarre and a long stretch - it's all here! :)

    Coops,

    So you heard did you? Well, the wife objected to them taking-up all the space in the loo so they will now be placed in the West Wing, once completed!:)


    Enjoy the musicâ„¢

    What would Ashley say?

    Let me guess. "ADM9s are certainly better than £1 million speakers because they are perfect in every way."

    Sounds like this guy's had language and typing lessons from Romy the Cat. Remember him? Lots of bizarre statements, unintelligible bombast, and CAPITAL LETTERS to help GET THE POINT ACROSS to all us MORONS.

    I admit it - I miss old Romy.

    if you have purchased ....then I'm sorry the warning is too late
