Re: Your last listen

Popped into HMV and bought this on a whim today.

Soundgarden Badmotorfinger

Pretty steep at £43.00 (link above is before shipping from US) but decent sounding pressing, forgot how good an album it was.

Re: Sonab speakers

That certainly can rock. They've just had me running through my collection and I can't believe how much I'd been missing. Even stuff like Metallica's And Justice for all which has sounded diabolical on everything had me sat enjoying it. https://www.discogs.com/MC5-Back-In-The-USA/release/5533566 Thi...

Ahh right. Thanks. I'm glad I took a chance on them when a used pair came up for sale.

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind, if the opportunity ever arises.

Re: Sonab speakers

It's my aim to move up the range. Trouble is the next upgrade I really need is a new house and a better room :grin:

Re: Sonab speakers

I use Larsen 4s quite near field up in my attic and really enjoy what they do. Quite odd at first but once I got used to them I just wanted to listen more and more.

Re: Your last listen

It's an album I'd forgot how good it was. I didn't appreciate it when it was first released and remember returning it to HMV but it really is a cracking album.

The speakers were a gamble but have really paid off.

Re: Your last listen

I had a pre-owned pair of these delivered earlier in the week and today was the first chance to give them a proper listen

Faith No More - King for a Day Fool for a Lifetime

The recent vinyl re-issue on MOV and wow, I'm truly staggered at how good it sounds.
