The reason is simple. To many posts which are nothing to do with audio.

Maybe we should do some 'blogging' more about audio. So if anyone is
interested, I've spent the morning saying a fond farewell to my
c25-year-old ESL63s and installing a new pair of 2805s as their
replacements. My main initial impressions a

1) gave them a quick tryout with a Proms recording (Kodaly and Bartok 1st
Piano concerto, recorded from the 320k stream a few days ago). Also as
contrast some Miles Davis from a fancy reissue of 'Kind of Blue' and the
'Miles Ahead' set of the Prestige album releases. Sound OK so far to me.
Although I'll now spend weeks fiddling with speaker location, etc, :-)

2) Problem with unpacking as the instructions on how to do this are inside
the pack! 8-] Then the problem of disposing/storing the mountains of
packaging.

3) Nice to see white gloves provided so you don't mark the speakers. Not
that I bothered.

4)...and a bonus copy of KK's book on Quad. I now have a 'stereo pair' of
copies... ;-

5) I had thought the new speakers would visually 'stand out' more than the
old ones given the metallic surround. But they do fade back OK due to the
design and the 'black' cloth, etc.

BTW I'm very impressed with the sound of the Proms this year via the 320k
stream. Varies from concert to concert, but overall, really nice.
Congratulations to the BBC.

Slainte,

Jim

Freeview HD carried the first night in Dolby surround. They caught the
RAH ambience very well, I thought.

I'd love to be able compare with R3 on Freeview again. But up here in
t'frozen North the BBC have removed R3 from DVB-T in the evenings!
Fortunately, the 320k iPlayer stream is excellent.

What a super original comment. Well worth the 5 hours wait. Did you get
help with it - or all your own work?
