Well...... I like 'em a lot. A huge amount. OK, they don't do low, low bass, but to my ears they sound so very coherent and so very right. And there is plenty of bass, it just isn't subterranean. They just snap and attack and present music in a very infectious way. All the initial listening was done...

Yep, we're with Virgin too Tony. http://www.speedtest.net/result/856050943.png That was this evening. We're a fair ol' trek from the phone exchange.

The effect of one moving at one end of the wire is instant at the other, but it takes some time for that electron to actually reach the other end. That's what Dad said........ :roll: What...
