| Pioneer CS-363 |
03 October 2026 |
| By: Ian | |
| "Decent Budget Vintage" | |
I kind of inherited a pair 28 years ago, they were my future wife's, connected to a cheap midi system mainly used by her girls. I recall at the time thinking they sounded a little thin at that time. Eventually I moved in, brought my gear with me, but my Memorex 205's were just too big to fit comfortably in the living space. Upshot here I connected my Marantz 2215 to the CS363's and the pairing opened up a very capable pair of speakers. Easy to dr...

| Tannoy Super Red Monitors SRM 12X |

I got my pair in 1992 and they're still my main speakers. Nothing I've heard would tempt me away.
I listen to a very broad range of music and they're excellent at everything - solo violin, Bach concerti, Kraftwerk, Scandinavian jazz...
These replaced my Quad ESLs and I wouldn't be tempted back.

I have owned a pair of these since the 90s purchased through Richer Sounds. They have served well as speakers in both my children's bedrooms and performed fairly well. Most recently I have connected them up to my PC in a my office and driven them from a Cambridge Audio ATAC3 amp. What a delight, they have a lovely mellow sound with a good all around sound. My set up is by no means top end but neither are these speakers but it call comes together ...

| Linn Intek |
17 August 2026 |
| By: Andrew Moore | |
| "It’s finally time for a replacement…" | |
I bought the Intek after auditioning it against the Audiolab 8000A and hefty Yamaha. The Yamaha was good but not blown-away good, and I found the Audiolab was very ‘dry’ and analytical. The Linn made everyone in the room tap feet and reach for more records to try; especially me. My mum said I should have my head examined when she heard I’d spent £850 on something that wasn’t at least half of a car, but this amp has driven and controlled ...

| Pioneer A-400 |

| "Just Listen" | |
have been thinking about replacing this amp for a while now only because was positive I should upgrade. Then I took a step back and remembered why I bought this amp a close friend had one so I decided to buy one also, as it sounded brill on his set up. I am so glad I invested in one of these. Please do not listen to people who may have something derogatory to say about the sound. Sound is personal to all of us what you like is what you like and I...

| Wharfedale Zaldek 2000 |

| "quality wharfedale ZALDEK Speakers" | |
Unbelievable just acquired these, they are fantastic speakers power out-put is phenomenal and the sound is so sweet coming from the deep bass and the highs of the tweeter. The look of them is superb how HAVE I never come across these before? In my opinion if you get the chance, and I doubt it, purchase them.

| Bowers Wilkins DM2 |
09 June 2026 |
| By: Richie P. | |
| "Solid heavyweight that's essentially neutral with great bass extension" | |
The image above shows the DM2a. This review pertains to the original DM2 - black front baffle with Heco tweeter (not Coles as shown) mounted beside the Celestion HF1300.
Internally complex, with various types of absorbent material used in this eighth-wave transmission-line system. LF unit has bextrene cone with PVC surround, all on a die-cast frame. (One-up on KEF with their steel B200!) Crossover has polyester caps - no electrolytics - bu...

| Yamaha DSP-E390 |
05 June 2026 |
| By: Richie P. | |
| "Still going strong since 1997!" | |
No-frills Pro-Logic decoder with integral amps for centre and rear speakers (centre being optional). Various modes, along with settable rear delay for Haas Effect.
Reliable, along with totally transparent sound (notwithstanding the Dolby band-limiting on rear channel).
Even in the age of 5.1 and more, I don't feel hard-done-by listening to movies through this. So long as the stereo source material is in a properly-matrixed Lt-Rt format, i...

| Tannoy Eclipse |

| "Review" | |
I bought these speakers over 35 years ago when my ears were good and my budget was bad.i have since been able to afford b&w matrix speakers and quad esls. These speakers are a tad light on bass but its well defined with a sweet treble. Surprisingly good on stands in a large room and reasonably neutral. Amplifiers make a huge difference-so im using a 1970s revox A50 and they sound excellent.I’ve compared them to beovox s45/2and prefer their neu...
