Charity?

Hi All,

Amongst my quest for audio perfection I was wondering if any of you guys (or gals) would care to take a trip to Cheltenham and listen to some kit. I'd be interested to hear what the more experienced (and less!) members think of my mirage M1's.

If anyone has a nice setup they'd like to show off I'd be interested in hearing whatever you've got.

Share the love

Cheers, Tim

 

Bloody hell - what is it about this forum and Cheltenham?

It seems like 50% of the member come from there

Michael.

 

Because we are taking over the world bah ha haaa

Or at least audio!

 

I thought 70% lived in Portugal?? Admittedly, it's bigger than Cheltenham though..

 

I'd love to visit..maybe call on Omiga too? but not until July, when the Mrs is in Disneyland [no really, she is]. I might also visit mates in Brizzle, and get my air-con regassed in Avonmouth..

What sort of garbage do you enjoy listening to??

 

Proberbly a lot warmer too Graham

 

You'll have to wait till I've finshed re-aranging me super tweeters internals though.
Graham, how's this for a laugh Whitesnake Y & T and the Scrops/Gray Moore playing the Telewest Arena on sunday its there Greatest hits tour, evening Playing Colesten Hall on the 18th Oct Jeez are they all skint already

 

my theory is that it's all the gchq spooks in cheltenham, who have become addicted to high quality audio from listening in on all our telephone conversations!

 

I'm about 20 miles away

 

You gotta be Joking there are too busy playing hunt the lardin game & how many kgs of white power can caught before entering these fair isles.
To be fair most of them can't wire a plug, let alone a tap washer, they can discuss quantum mechanics on a differenical plane, but anything remotely common sense and whooo thats a no no

 

Are they the big omnidirectional fellas with the large woofer box?
If so I heard some powered by a Pass Labs X350, and they were brilliant!
At the moment, if I were buying new speakers it's possible it would be a toss up between them and the Duevel Jupiter (despite the £4.5k price difference!)

I would be delighted to come and hear your stuff but where is Cheltenham?

I see you have a mirage! Whowwww! I haven't touched one up to now. Aren't they a little bit old though. A Mig or a F21 would be better?

If you want to hear my hifi you can call me: I'll put on a record. It won't be so loud as a mirage though.

 

You won't get more snare with supertweeters you know... Maybe we can get Titian into hair-metal. I'll bring the Winger:

Graham, firms everything up quite nicely, though, its one of those, not sure does it do anything, then take them away, humm oh yes. I've made a few changes to the output stages on the the 850, might even have enough bass to make even MR bass bins smile

 

Why not?
I just heard some excerpts from their album: In The Heart Of The Young.

Not bad, it remembers me some of those groups of the 80'.
But I wouldn't hear more than 40-50 minutes at a time.

Edit:

Uuups: I just saw that this album came out in 1991.
So now I heard excerpts from 'Songs from the ocean floors'. Yes a different style! I had some problems with 'faster' and 'Song of midnight' but the rest was not bad at all. But again not more than 40 minutes in a row...
