You're exaggerating Richard, am I claiming to be an authority?Dr Bunsen Honeydew wrote:All I see going on is an isolated pair of A40's being used with just about anything than the things they were designed to be used with. Now that is fine, it is your amps. But when that is written about in an authoritative way then I react. We never leave customers with product they are unhappy with, why didn't you send it back on the return basis if you are so unhappy with it. Has it been set up for the cart you use. Did you buy it new or 2nd hand, if new then you should have talked to me.
If you are going to compare them tomorrow then go and switch the bloody thing on now, doesn't need to be connected, it just needs to be fed.
Yes the amps were used in isolation I guess but the point is they sounded great, both Steve and I have said as much. If I'd said anything more there'd be buggers on some forum somewhere accusing me of hyperbole and shilling I expect
They were simply dropped into another guy's system for an hour at the most. Yes it's far from ideal so I take your point that they should not be judged out of context so just take the comments (all positive I think..) as they were intended.
Btw in my system the a40s stay on 24/7 as advised, are used with compliant cable and sound fab. Indeed I'm enjoying some Porcupine Tree via the squeezebox now and they're rocking their socks off.
I'll go plug the Phono 1 in now... does anybody fancy choosing some bathroom tiles for me so I can get a minutes peace on a bank holiday.
