I thought my over enthusiastic subjective drivel had scared you off, I'm glad you are still hanging around :grin: Just busy organizing and competing in an archery comp. Good work. Did you do well ? I am hopless at it as well as most other sports apart from tennis and table tennis) I taught my son h...

I was prompted to ask this after DQ mentioned his craving for panel speakers was squashed by Applemarc and Zebbo's preference for cubes over them. I also know (I think) antonio ditched Shahinians :shock: for cube3's and Fret similarly with panel speakers. I have respect for both omnidirectional spea...
