used to have a pair of mission 763's they were the dogs . but the wife moaned about them being to big. so i got a pair of ruark templars. they were exellent. but the wife still moaned. so now i have a pair of bose acoustimass 3's and you know what tiny little speakers with a massive sound. me and wife both happy.

I have a pair of speakers that I built from a Hi-Fi world kit 8 years ago. Before I veneered the cabinets (MDF) I decided to bolt the drivers on to "see how they sounded". 8 years later I still have a pair of floorstanding MDF boxes in the living room. Guess I should finish them one day.

Mrs. KW is not very happy about them, but they were there before she was

Mrs. KW is not too happy about the marine ply bathroom floor complete with box of floor tiles either, but they're further down the list, having only been there for 2 years

... and I have a possible kit car project potentially on its' way (injection system to install) that I haven't mentioned yet  , and a LPG MV6 project on the cards... :-/

My kind of guy

Well I can recommend Paradigm Monitor 9's

Marks DTM or Max V6 will be able to advise with real authority though.

Oooh, that's a bit rough. Not so bad when "it's only money", but something I'd put blood, sweat and tears in to would have been defended to the last.

I consolate myself with an idea.I can do them again..

Reality : Nope..The chasis had a special design ..

And only good thing the neighbours now dont jump on my head.

[cem_devecioglu]

I'm sure about one thing when you have "good speakers" your home

must be isolated from neighbours..I see in London some really good

ones and they were real big..More than 1.80-2.00 meters ..
