pete_mac Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 I've got the 5" version of these. cracking little speakers. GLTWS Thanks mate. I've contemplated upgrading to an audio-gd DAC/pre (NFB10ES3 or NFB10.33) or similar, and and running the speakers direct. Superb sound for a pittance. The lack of grilles and prying kids fingers meant that it's simply not feasible for me.
pete_mac Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Someone has asked via PM whether I'd split the stands and speakers, and the answer is yes. I'd be willing to sell the speakers for $300 on their own, as I may have some future use for the stands. I will update the first post to reflect this. Pics coming tomorrow, as I missed out taking pics under decent light this afternoon.
