DB7s not in shop yet, trying to arrange a dem, didn't get a chance to pop in this evening either for various reasons, so all is on hold for now.

Haven't had a chance to listen to anything at home this week either, nor to do any room rearranging. I'm on my own with the 2 year-old this weekend, so options are limited. Just as well I'm renowned for my patience. Haha.

...it's also becoming increasingly clear to me that budget, as always, is going to be a problem!

I appreciate all the suggestions, folks. I'd love to hear those Gallos, JB, just not sure where to find them.

So in one word, what are you looking for? Beauty or Truth. Or as Shane put it so well: The Beautiful Truth? That's two words :)

Both, but I'll sacrifice a bit of truth for a bit of beauty. Just a bit.
