I think you might need to update your profile, Graeme.
That’s a very expensive speaker. Congrats. I’m auditioning the Z1s again tomorrow.
I ordered a Z3, but it did not work in my room. My excellent dealer managed to get me an upgrade. The veneer is not perfect, so I got this one significantly reduced. Not perfect means: I do not notice a problem at all.
I wouldn’t mind that either for the right price.
what about the Z3 didn’t work in your room?
No, the Eames was a present for my wife. I sit dead centre on the sofa in the very very ‘sweet spot’.

To pay for the new speakers?
Happy new speakers!!
…pays the bills for expensive speakers…
Because otherwise you couldn’t afford the Hi-Fi?
I’ve only had a chance for a few short bursts of a couple of albums and a bit of internet radio since they were installed yesterday early evening.
I listened to a bit of ‘Kenny Burrell Live at the Vanguard’ for 20mins tonight and it sounded gorgeous. A clear uplift over last night when they were just out of the box and the 300DR had been powered off for 24h - but even then they sounded great!
Next few days I’ll get a chance for an extended listen.
They had a previous owner for one month.

They are stunning speakers.
haven’t heard them but no doubt in my mind they are exceptional just much more limited in terms of placement than the 505s.
Thought I’d post a few pics of my system this year. Picked up a bargain CDS2 and was expecting an Olive XPS to come through with it. I got a black one instead which I think could be a good thing! Good job my system is mix of black, olive and Chrome bumper. Maybe an NSC222 would give it a nice mix. System sounding lovely with CDS2 just set up today.
Loving it.
Congratulations with your beautiful system! Let me guess: the new classics series including NPX300 power supply, feeding into B&W 802 D4? Must be a >40,000 GBP investment!
How does it sound?
Nice one on the CDS2. I know you’ll be chuffed to have one back in the system. Best CD player I ever heard.
