Do you know what your first mistake was there?

Yep. The correct approach is "Do you know them flat screen TVs love?... well"

Barry - I'll buy and hold them for you...but only if you cart a wrecked pair of ESL57s back from the States for me (that someone has offered me free, but are too expensive to ship!) next time you come home :)

Has anyone rung the fella to see what the story is? If I was at home I think I would need to be restrained!
Although what I really want is another set of 57s so I can stack them!
Yes it is all your fault Barry!

sorry there, fran...and my apologies to sues. why do i feel like cross between dr. frankenstein and doctor evil? and who ever heard of an evil puppet-master type being reffered to as bazza?

Sorry guys, I phoned him yesterday on the pretense of checking availability for Barry and fully expecting to hear they were gone - they were not, and he is a great guy (88 year old gent who has owned them from new, and understood completely that the price he was selling them for was cheap). Upshot, I now own a pair of 63s to complement the 57s - logic is to compare my (now) 3 sets of propers speakers (ESL57 and 63, plus SF Concertinos) and then make a decision on which 2 to keep. I absolutely love the 57s, but if I ever need to move to a smaller place (currently lucky to have a dedicated listening room) then they are a bit imposing!
If I resell, they will be offered here first.
