I wonder why Ugly is so desperate? Now why has he not put this little lot on a certain auction site? Probably if they were contacted by NVA, who are a good customer, the ad would be instantly removed. I'm sure Marco is reading this forum so I trust he will make the appropriate decision to protect hi...

Doc. I can't see people paying the asking price. Dave has craftily admitted their origins but bigging them up as better than production versions. Also note he is throwing in all his SSP cables to sweeten the deal. If they were properly finished production versions at 20+ years old they wouldn't fetc...

They should hold their value very well. If anything, I'd expect for them to rise over time. All the other small speakers of that kill and era have. They were FAR more expensive than kan set so, so they are great value. Boxed ones should also fetch a bit more because they are a devil to pack due to ...

I have heard good and bad Proacs. Their largest and most expensive wardrobes sounded pretty good on the end of 'Classic Album Sundays' system at the national hi-fi show. Also liked the old Tablettes. The recently discontinued Studio 100 had a following and likely the selected models stocked by Deco ...

Badger. An approx max expenditure would be useful before any more recommendations are made. I'm assuming from the ATC it's around £1k in which case there are a host of new models out there. Poac have a new largish stand mount, Studio 115 that may suit at £1075. http://www.decoaudio.com/deco_audio_sp...

At least there isn't a Marco on the Wam sending you bullying PMs when you digress from his rules.

I think in reality the price is too high to tempt buyers. Hopefully if they go to Ugly's house and see them in the flesh their prototype finish will be obvious. Unfortunately Ugly has got his mate to chip in saying how nice they are. So far I haven't been banned for backing up Zebbo so they may have...

Dave I think you may be a little harsh on Chords. The Chord Cobra plus saw off the Gotham by a wide margin but I do suspect there is a little added treble sheen. Surprisingly close in performance to Kimber PBJ with maybe a little added midrange warmth. Chord keep changing the spec anyway and is why ...

Trouble is Macca for the price of the ATC there are quite a few fuller ranged speakers. Rega, Q Acoustics even Proac. So why have to fork out more on a sub and have to play about with matching issues.

I don't see the point of buying inefficient speakers. I do doubt even the NVA will be powerful enough for the ATC. I'm assuming these were auditioned or at least they are on approval? To be honest if you like forward and detailed I'd even look at Monitor Audio over ATC. I think ATC come under Docs P...
