What else am I going to do for a further 8 weeks? Ordered horizontally in order of ownership.   Links for bigger pictures: http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/144/page1zyd.jpg http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7186/page2rco.jpg Would be cool to see other people's collage mock ups! |

Silver Member Username: James_the_godLancaster, Lancashire England Post Number: 791 Registered: Jan-05 | The quads finish was a limited edition laquered ebony! It was nice but a complete pain to keep looking clean. I prefer textured/matt wood finishes to any gloss. |

Bronze Member Username: BoulderdashcciCanton, Massachusetts USA Post Number: 77 Registered: Apr-07 | Do you have any larger pictures of them? I've always wanted something with a finish like that (aside from the cleaning part, like you said). |

Silver Member Username: James_the_godLancaster, Lancashire England Post Number: 794 Registered: Jan-05 | Nice one Freddie, good to see your collage! Those cambridge soundworks standmounts look very very nice. My first ever speakers are the same make (that plastic sub sat system). They started me off.. I'll try find some more detailed pics of the 11ls for you tomorrow Freddie. Nuck, it was a simple copy and paste job of a file full of photos into word. Prior to this I'd open each picture with Microsoft office picture manager, and edit, resize pics to "small web" in "predefined" and resave with "( 2 )" after the file name so it wouldnt overwrite the original. Then organise the pictures in word, save, take a screen and resize that and upload. |

Silver Member Username: KbearCanada Post Number: 204 Registered: Dec-06 | JJ, how were the Tannoy Sensys speakers? I've always been kind of intrigued by the dual concentric design, and when I bought my Tannoy F2 I was briefly considering stepping up to the Sensys instead. Never got a chance to listen to them though. |

All from Google Images, and tried to use stock photos whenever possible. Clockwise from upper left are the systems I've owned, in chronological order. Yeah... I'm bored. |

Silver Member Username: SoundgameToronto, Ontario Canada Post Number: 896 Registered: Jun-08 | Hey Stu. It looks like I owned a TT pretty close to yours before I moved to my Goldring. I had a Techniques SL-QD2 with an Ortofon P-mount cartridge. Sometimes I miss the fully automatic but only for a second. |

" I use their PC speakers too and I find them very good for what they are, way beyond the Logitech and Creative branded stuff (Creative actually bought Cambridge because they had the best PC speakers on the market and Creative wanted in on that, so when Cambridge's designers were making them they were pretty nice, but now they're back to the flashy crap). They're actually fairly musical with pretty tight bass for multimedia speakers. That said, the Newtons (the standmounts in my pic) were definitely on another level and were very good speakers. Unfortunately they cut pretty much all the lines except the the sub/satellite systems, so the company is going down hill. Still though, I love the stuff that I have from them. |

Silver Member Username: KbearCanada Post Number: 205 Registered: Dec-06 | I have Klipsch Promedia 2.1 computer speakers. No complaints, definitely well above average as far as computer speakers go. Cost me well above average too, $199. But they get lots of use (movies, occasional music, You Tube vids). I once bought a pair of Creative speakers from Best Buy and returned them they were so horrible. Some of the stuff these companies like Creative, Altec Lansing, and Logitech put out is just embarrassing. |

Bronze Member Username: BoulderdashcciCanton, Massachusetts USA Post Number: 79 Registered: Apr-07 | Yeah the Creative and Logitech stuff is awful. My parents got a set of Logitechs with their computer and they ended up going back....They sounded absolutely terrible. The ones Cambridge made for Creative were the only decent ones they ever had....A bit different than what they're selling now:  But anyway....sorry to go off topic. |

Silver Member Username: James_the_godLancaster, Lancashire England Post Number: 797 Registered: Jan-05 | Nice contribution Stu. Lots of NAD stuff there too. Ye I remember that day Freddie, it was one of those dissapointing moments you know will let the company down. I remember that set too, isnt that the gigaworks though? A bit like when creative also bought 'e-mu' to steal their chip designs which were used in the 'x-fi' range. Hey, Altec Lansing do some decent stuff too! Dan I recommended a good mate to get those same speakers, hes had them for about 3 years now and had no complaints. With regards to the sensys, they were open and detailed from what I remember. Extremely subobtimal placement though so honestly can't say what they'd have sounded like if properly placed. Bass weight could have been better BUT then I was using a Cambridge Audio amp!! The imaging was good though, my current KEFs have a similiar technology, the uni-q and again imaging is good! Enough of the sub/sat stuff anyway, hardly 'hi-fi' is it :P Freddie, that larger picture you wanted..  And one with piano black gloss..  |

Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 3408 Registered: May-05 | George, It was the Technics SL-BD2 that my father hid from my mother for about 10 years, along with his vinyl. He told her he threw them out when in reality he hid them in the basement because he just couldn't let them go. He was pretty happy when I noticed them and asked for them. I miss the auto return feature too, but not much else. It was basically a toy compared to my Xpression. I currently use it to clean my vinyl on. |
