Just bought the Neutron V

And did you have a listen, too?

£399 as well.... could be a right ol' bargain.

Another one to check out during your visit Clare?

Indeed....

No, was late back from the pub as it was.............

Nnnnngggggghhhhhhh. Shall I just go and buy a pair?

Ooops........

oh no...

Purely for research purposes, y'unnerstand.......

You are buying kit about every other week. How is the hedge fund management game right now?

JohnDuncan:

Ooops........

Right. First things first - an apology to Joel for blowing him out tonight, ended up moving my meeting tomorrow so ended up coming home. Nothing to do with wanting to bring a box home obviously. But only just sat down, haven't eaten yet...........

So, after a palaver getting my bi-wire cable plugged for single wire..........they're on, and first impressions are.......ok. With simple folk (Jim Moray, then John Martyn), acoustic instruments and voices sound really lovely - real space around them, a real sparkle at the top end and plenty of warmth. But..........just put Hounds of Love on (which to be honest I haven't heard for a long time) and it's a little bit shouty and confused. Now this could easily be other factors at play here (ie this is probably the first time I've heard this on both Primares), but they're not handling it quite as well.

Bass is good - not as full as the DB1s but *there*. I'm actually coming away with the impression that they're very similar to your Spendors Ig (though it's been a month since I heard them).

Further bulletins as events warrant.........

Could'nt you just have ... erm ... borrowed them? You start to sound like TM.

This is comparing the Neutrons to the PMCs. What they're actually replacing are the Diamond 9.1s in the kitchen. Do you think that'll be a contest?

Never heard the Neutrons Mr Duncan. When we had a listen to the new ADM's at AJ's place he had a pair behind them on the window sill (I dont know which version). Equally interesting were the two massive AVI concept monoblocks connected to it. If memory serves well, he said casually they were around 800w and a few thousand quid each. Unfortunately we never got to hear them as we enjoyed the ADMs with different music. He did also say that the 9.1's have the better, quicker and more transparent amplifiers regardless of the huge price difference. Still, wished we'd at least had given them a quick blast.
