    I haven't seen it yet either! It should be in the shops on the 19th.

    I just uploaded a new look for the site too :) I now just need to get the new payment system working to replace that PayPal stuff!

    Is that a real budgy next to the supertweeter and is that your hand on the soldering iron...or are they stunt doubles?

    if we're led to believe what we hear on forums - then how much did you pay hifi+ for the review? :)

    ...and did you get your review pair back or did they want to...

    "these are now installed in my lounge/dining/listening room - delete as applicable"

    :D

    Nick,

    With luck things will pick up now this first big review is out :) I feel bad for not keeping in touch with you better. After the show it would be good to meet up. I still haven't seen your 'new' place!

    Mr. Cat & SMEagol,

    Hi-Fi+ have been really brilliant to me. Originally they were going to publish it as a 'smorgasbord' article but once they heard the speakers they wanted to make it a full review. They made it all happen really quickly too, I only sent the review pairs off back in Feb. They have not badgered me for taking out advertising, or even asked me to purchase the review (rights to reproduce it, not paying them to publish it ;)). Alan Sircom did however suggest that I might want to give the review pair away as a competition prize - so keep an eye open in the next issue and you might win a pair!

    I've got the mag at home. Skimmed the review and read the conclusion; looks great.

    100,000,000.

    In crisp Zimbabwean Dollars.

    That's about £3.95 I believe :)

    It's a a superb review so you must all visit the Heathrow show and listen for yourselves.

    Just read the review by Paul Messenger. Very positive indeed, as Dean says. Congrats Simon, and Rob, too.

    He's gone awol - probably out for a well earned celebratory drink :)

    Yes, they are hand made and finished in Gravesend and that includes everything except the drivers, though the latter are modified by Audiosmile. There is no external cabinet maker - the raw materials are cut, prepared and finished in-house.
