Got these last year off a chap in Brighton UK but I had to replace the foils on those Audax tweeters. Bought them mainly judging from the quality of craftsmanship that went into them. Quality crafted rosewood cabinets with highly regarded drivers as well as what it seemed at first look a complex...

Good morning (or evening if in UK) I just purchased a nice Sugden 140 integrated amp. I decided to give it a test drive. I unplugged my Classe Seventy/Thirty and replaced with the Sugden thru my Spendor SP 1/2 speakers. I was surprised to find the Sugden was actually more musical. Not as...

Hi, I heard this combo 25+ years ago and still remember how good it sound... I was hunting for a unit and recently purchased this pair in Ebay from the US. In my country 220 power is needed - on the case of the SOAP its printed 110/220 so I thought I will be fine. I was very excited when it...

Hi there, I've just reinstated my old Quad 303 after a few weeks of replacing components, etc. This comes after years of no use. It is coupled up with the 33 pre-amp and now sounds incredible! The only issue I seem to be facing now is a noticeable difference in volume between the left and...

Hi guys, I'm a happy W70B owner who's put a fair bit of love into these speakers. One of the super 3's has always distorted a bit, but recently it's gotten too bad to bear. I've always assumed it was a little blown from before I got them, but I don't abuse the speakers and it's continued to get...

Just by way of background, been in the hobby for a little while, had lots of different amps over the years. Last couple years mostly with upper crust Yamaha and Luxman amps. Had some others sprinkled here and there such as Modwright and Wyred4Sound, etc. All integrated amps as I love the...
