Tír Na HiFi

Got to hear these guys last night. Really nice speakers and look great. Certainly very easy to live with. Plenty of detail and body and comfortably filled Ivor's listening room which aint small. Voiced similar to my Spendors but much nicer looking speakers.

It's French. Sorta.

More your Latin, try this:

Osculetur me osculo oris sui, quia meliora sunt ubera tua vino,
fragrantia unguentis optimis. Oleum effusum nomen tuum,
ideo adulescentulae dilexerunt te.

or in English:

Let him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth: for thy breasts are better than wine,
Smelling sweet of the best ointments. Thy name is as oil poured out: therefore young maidens have loved thee.

Not to worry, it's from the bible, namely the Song of Solomon. The plainchant has been parodied by many polyphonists, notably Lassus, in an eight part mass, a gorgeous LP of which was my introduction to the wonderful Tallis Scholars:



Enjoy the new speakers, Ivor!

Ah now, what little instruction I had in Latin was accompanied by a rythmnic thumping from a Christian Brother. I've blocked out most if it.

The speakers, over a year later, are still a revelation.

Excuse the mangled quotes above.. I'm using my phone to reply following five hours of driving in the worst conditions imaginable!

Sounds hellish! I did a 90 minute drive earlier which should have taken 40, which was bad enough, but five hours sounds intolerable!

I doubt that the Latin the Christian Brothers were trying to beat into you was a juicy bit of the Old Testament!

Admins!!!

I want any talk of Latin and they teachers of it, banned from the forum! It is just too close to the bone! No problem talking about speakers at all!
