Very nice indeed. I bet it's beautifully smooth and detailed, something I'm trying to work towards myself. But hey, the journey is half the fun. What are the Castles like? Do they major on midrange?

Thanks very much

 Yes, the Castles do very well on vocals and midrange, sweet crisp treble but a slightly soft bass. I was very lucky to have picked them up brand new from Peter Tyson for half the retail price, so for £500 they are an absolute steal. As you say, the journey is half the fun, the other half is spent growing money trees trying to finance the infinite pursuit of perfect sound................................

Nice system.. but i want to do tha same thing for my background.


I think it is more like a mid bass, than mid range.
