These are what I have and they are brilliant.

Sonata

Probably better still with some simple tweaks like cabinet bracing, lambs fleece wadding, new capacitor and wiring inside.

I've been looking for bargains locally - even little speakers like the JPWs at good prices have been miles away and 'collect in person' :-(

But in reality, I'll be waiting until after my holiday before looking seriously.

I'll try to remember to plan an expedition into the wilds of my loft to recover the Sonatas. I'll pop them over to you for a trial, assuming they still play well.

I pulled all the standard wadding out of my JPW mini monitors and thought they sounded better (more open and dynamic iirc...). I didn't try anything else in there tho.

A couple of hamsters or gerbils are recommended on some forums Ben.

I Whatsapp'ed Colin to say: "There's an Inca Design power amp ending on eBay today, in Taunton, who is it? It's title is: Excellent IncaTech pure class A 25 watt power amplifier. I just emailed a link. 6 hours to go, £250!"

Followed by: "It's an odd one. Still has the old binding posts. Output devices have been changed on one side, in fact the whole pcb may have been swapped."

This is the reply (verbatim) from Colin, to which I added or implied nothing:

We have 3 gerbils. Good. I always like having a spare unit when it comes to speakers.

Beefy looking thing from JVC. Looks like an industrial estate on miniature!

Wouldn't last long against an M50 though.
