500 v 2x300 active?

You could become TineoOopNorth! :grinning:

Sounds better than oakoopnorth I suppose :face_with_monocle:

It can get dodgier than that: I was once in a dealer where a vintage Radford setup was being boxed up, receipted and dispatched as “photographic test equipment” to a company address…

That actually is a criminal act - tax evasion

Ok demonstration 808s incoming next week some time

Plenty of time to look at greenhouses in the next few days.
I hope you enjoy the Titans.

I will report back

When are you going to have that important chat with you know who?

Feedback on that too might be helpful to me in the future. :wink:

According to @Bokermonz my pattern of behaviour results in more chores, so you may be best ploughing your own furrow, NigelB!

yes definitely, that would be my advice too, unless you can keep your activities below the domestic radar…

Well she noticed the SL2s and they are smaller than the 808s so…

Noticed them for sale at £15k, freind off mine is also thinking about buying them, so be quick lol.
Would have liked to have tried them myself about a year ago, but found the 707 to much for my room, so didn’t bother with them as very heavy

yes, no alternative but to do the ground work first with the 808s

Have decided it is too risky for me to get those, so am getting a demo pair from acoustica with full set up support and trade in (am really going to miss the sn3 and ndx in the loft :confused:). So I get to have at home as demo without obligation and can then decide if (a) I want 808s and (b) if I do, which finish I want. It will cost me more but I do need to check they work in the room and that my lovely wife finds them domestically acceptable

I see, good plan

I went to that Signals Kudos Active Day (in fact @Gazza was leaving the am sessions as I arrived for the pm session).

As I set off from home, I waved my wife good bye with the usual assurance of…‘it’s just a demo Dear, I am only listening…’ etc.

I came back having done a deal on a ND555 and a Reflex Ultra G3 distribution box under my arm. I remember thinking on the way home, ‘how the hell am I going to explain this’. I always trade in something, which I naively think will go some way to justify such behaviour.

My poor, long-suffering wife!
