Not much in the way of CD players though which is a pity. It's one area that I'm looking to address in the coming months.
Still toying with the idea of getting a refurbished dCS transport from dCS themselves. Although I'm sure that the 1's and 0's will come
out the same as the bashed up Arcam I'm currently using. ;-). The dCS looks more badass though.
The guy last night (Jonathan I think it was) said that they use computer/tablet front end as people who come in
off the street are inclined to have music on their phones or tablets and they can give them a really
great impression of what hifi can sound like even with a simple digital source.

As impressive as the speakers were last night, the large scale of the presentation took a while to get used to, but a seriously good sound.
Didnt get a chance to hear any symphonic work though as we spent almost an hour after closing time talking about hifi.
Hi Dave the Eist Dubh speakers have a lot of the qualities of the Aventgardes both using horns (the Dubhs are horn loaded).
Of course being somewhat smaller but using a superb driver they are different, but if you are on the trail of pin sharp detail, with an open spacious sound stage, then you should get a listen.

I've heard great things about these speakers alright. I'm quite happy with the Audioplans but I'll definitely try to get a listen to these at some point.
