outstanding).

OK. Name a contemporary which was better. The BBC (then) didn't go to the
bother of designing their own speakers if a commercial unit as good for
their purpose could be bought.


In 2018, it is a piece of ****. It should have been
consigned to the dustbin of history years ago.

I'm afraid that just shows you are hyping things in exactly the same way
as some of its fans.

There has been no magical improvment in speaker design that makes the sort
of difference you're implying.
