No they don't. I'm not sure whether the flexible ports would be useable in the Blades as they're rather large ports...

I'll hopefully be doing a bit of testing tomorrow on my day off...

Oh, and the Pioneer A70 turned up today - currently running in in the demo room with the LS50's - I'll get a listen Friday when I'm back at work.

You mean two and a half times... Smile

They sound great out of the box, but they get so much better Smile

I was picking out bits of the Dark Knight, which were sounding stunning, and very dynamic. Watched Black Swan again at home tonight - great audio on that too -  the music swells, rather than just gets louder like it does on most systems.

                  Yes, 2.5. :)   They have the detail of ATC'S but deliver it in such a fun way. 

                  David, how long do you reckon these little jems will need to run in.?      Still in   shocked  !
