It's slightly tilted too. Didn't notice till I took the pic. Might have another move about with the speakers.

The poor bloke didn't stand a chance as it's Irish agri slang, spelled "Yoke", and means "thing"....but you're right, it is a nice yoke. Wink

No great accomplishment on my behalf, as I'm involved in Irish agri.

I think you are in Scotland, so there is often a commonality of expression, that is like a foreign language to everyone else.....like sheuch (or sheugh)! Smile

RE: System at present

Nice lookin Set-up , and a lovely large room to enjoy it in  Smile Just wonder , is the CA 650 A  good and powerful enough for the B&W 683`s. These are pretty large ,aren`t they ....

RE: System at present

Obviously with a power amp connected the speakers will sound much better at higher volumes but for normal listening volumes the CA copes very well. The CA and B&W partnership doesn't have any problem sending vibrations throughout the whole house and it never sounds like its struggling. The volume never goes past the 11 o'clock position.

RE: System at present

That is good news for me as I am considering that exact amplifier for my speakers Mezzo 6 which would probably need even less power. Anyway, have you had other amps driving this set of B&W ? If so, how would you rate the CA 650 A against it ? Thanks for your help and opinion Smile

RE: System at present

Unfortunately I've not had them connected up to another amp. Just yesterday I was considering connecting them upto my reciever just to see how they sounded, think ill give it ago tomorrow. 

 

I had the mezzo 6's on order to go with the 650a but was dissapointed with them when I laid eyes on them. So took a trip down to hifi corner to audition some 684's but then clocked the 683's. It was love at first sight, lol.
