Thank you Bart for an entertaining read. More than likely I will never get the chance to hear his speakers but your comments about the track, Madredeus' 'Ainda' peaked my interest. I streamed the track Ainda and ordered the CD. Thank you.

Bob, you're welcome.

Regarding your remark that I've put in bold: please do come out of your house too hey! :D

Bob - Bart is serious. Not only will you have the opportunity to listen to his & Meta's great system, you will be welcomed by as gracious a host and hostess as you could ever hope to meet. :thumbsup: Worth your trip to Belgium. :yes:

Bart, thanks - very enlightening, and Gent is a great town (home to one of my other account-draining hobbies' dealers, that of antique maps).

Paul, where would that shop be?
My father-in-law has that same hobby...

Bart - maybe you should dip your toe into vinyl. :yes:

Glenn, been there, done that.
It is not going to happen.
Nice to feel and smell it indeed.
But my future investments will be into digital.
