Is anyone else getting some emails from 'Paypal' suggesting they need to update details quickly before their functionality is limited ? I had a couple overnight . I notice one purports to be from Paypal.au , so I'll ignore that one anyway. The other one is more believable, but says my account has be...

I'll bring the pair of Radian 745 Neo Be drivers and Azura 425 horns, for a mess about .
I'll also bring my pair of TQ Ultra-Black speaker cables, since David MCRU isn't coming.

I'll generally say the 103R sounds a lot better than the 103 . However, a lot of the problems seem to be with the output impedance ( ~40R ) which doesn't work very well into step-ups, even if they are supposed to be 103-friendly and have more inductance to help . The 103 typically sounds a bit soft ...
