Thanks Demot. I know there were a few looking at the ad, Ivan mentioned he had three calls after I had pulled the trigger! I suspect they won't be going anywhere, they seem to slot right in.

Best of luck with these Ivor, a brand that only has good connotations for me, something solid and traditional.

Great to read the new speakers are settling in, they sounded great on day one. i'll have to get back over with some vinyl under me oxter.
Will there a change of room orientation, again?

I haven't moved them much from first placement. A little further back and wider. The sound didn't change as much as I expected and the current setup is practical as well as workable. I won't be changing orientation again, this works best!
Welcome with records anytime Derek!

The mids are exceptional and I find the bass to be powerful with plenty of weight.
I must say I don't find the bass to be shy at all. I think the the tone and timbre of instruments are excellent. The portrayal of voices is one of the real positives of these speakers.

Yep, after a little bit more tweaking on position I've found there's actually loads of bass. It's very much dependant on the recording (well duh!) but it's there alright. I think I was swayed by the many reviews saying they are a little restricted on bass and some owners ever use a sub alongside. Since writing this post I saw in Stereophile's recommended components they're listed alongside electrostatics in the restricted bass category. As with electrostatics that's a little unfair.

Well wear Ivor.
