Interesting, but I'm willing to bet they sound crap on speech. They

I'm not sure I actually WANT "hi-fi" for speech. Unlike music, I have
no desire to luxuriate in the sound. When I start hearing the studio
sound, the speaker's mic technique etc. it gets in the way of the
content. Radio 3 might get switched to my good speakers. Radio 4
communicates best on my crappy little bedside DAB or the car radio.
Quite agree, radio 4 and the crappy bedside DAB unit fill many of my sad
and lonely waking/semi-waking hours.

That's what you base your opinions about DAB on?


Don't be a **** all your life Dave..take a day off now and then...give
everyone a break.

Suppose it's too much to expect you to actually try to give an answer to
the question (if you had a suggestion) instead of just putting your oar in
on every thread?


I did Dave, I endorsed I the Tannoy F1 suggestion, but of course as the
suggestion came from a non-buddy you dismissed it even though you haven't heard
them. FWIW those Tannoys make excellent speech units particularly for a signal
of the Radio 4 free to air 192 kbps [approx] type.
HTH but don't really care if it doesn't.
