Many thanks to Ciaran for a night of wonderful listening, chat & hospitality.
It was good to put some faces to forum names and the music kept flowing.
It all kicked off at 8ish finished at 1ish.
Star on the night; the D2W speakers. A 2 1/2 way floor stander with SEAS drivers and solid walnut fascia . They played with poise and authority, well worth putting on your audition list. I loved them.
I'll let Ciaran list the speakers played and the other lads fill in some of the hardware they brought along, including a '60's vintage Leak amp and a similar aged Bush integrated.
'twas a really good night

Thx indeed, it was a great evening !
Both floorstanders were sounding good, (in their respective price range).
And indeed the D2W speakers (6K euros a pair) were great performers.
Listening to them with the Legendary Leak 20 valve amp, was truly really fantastic !
There was also great music, with some collectors vinyls !
I bringed a modest Bush A746 (15 W - 4 ohms - early 60s), that is a interesting, because the output stage use Germanium transistors (instead of silicium). So it produce a "lively" and lovely sound.
