    Yup, John - I have to agree with you about those Phasonics speakers - huge yellow multi-unit behemoths. For me probably the ultimate rock speaker - didn't really gel with acoustic/classical, but on electric rock they were truly awesome with limitless SPLs and stunning bass!

    I also much enjoyed the Podium panel speakers, as usual. These are definitely on my Want List.

    phasonics?

    err...
    I thought that they must have been an april fool...
    Made a complete hash of all the recordings I heard on them. I wasn't even sure if they had channels reversed or even if they were in phase.
    still, we all hear differently.

    Phasonics,

    Surely these chaps were having a joke yes?
    These were so bad, they deserve the resolution audio award for realism. The low point of the show for us

    ymmv - but the Phasonics speaker were one of the real highlights of the show for me. ;) Stunning on rock - pin you to the back of your seat!
