I just got a pair today.

OMFG! They sound so, so, so detailed and revealing in the treble!

Quite so.

I'm in love! Plus I got 50 quid off for no apparent reason.

They're not fashionable.


Also, in the context of 'bang for your buck', they are very expensive for a
tiny, wee box - poor perception of VFM by the 'uninformed' and therefore not
selling too well, I suspect.....


Well, the Contours are only *fractionally* better, and big planars
take up an awful lot of room.......................


I auditioned a pair of Contour 1,1s for a few days - quite the best
bookshelf speaker I have *ever* heard and a beautiful veneered finish but,
again, not cheap.



Better sell on my Mission 752Fs and Cyrus II to defray some of the
cost of these recent expensive purchases!

Good luck - you can then afford more 52s for the rear channels, and
enjoy the only *real* advance in music reproduction in the last 20
years.....................


I hope you don't mean 'surround sound'........???
