Passed on by AE on Twitter: http://www.avbristol.co.uk/products/bookshelf/av1548.html#

£99.99, free delivery in the UK, difficult to beat that I expect.

It does have it's uses and you can giggle like a girlie when they reply to you and you feel all special as if you've just spoken to someone famous or something.

I'm told...

RE: AE Compact 1 BARGAIN!!!

Sorry to bring this topic back into relevance and sorry to hear about your Mumbai illness and the rest of your in house banter.

However - how much were these speakers originally ? And would they make a decent rear surround set up bearing in mind I have PMC GB1's and PMC DB1c as fronts ? Would they intergrate well ? Need to replace my broken Mission 752 Freedom rears running through a Sony DA5400es av amp ?

Any advice ?

Or any advice on a cheap alternative that would intergrate well with my PMC's ?
