    Speakers.

    I must tell you about some English speakers I ran across once.

    I called at a semi-detached house to discuss some business and in conversation I mentioned the two large contraptions in corners of the living room.

    I was informed that they were ......... speakers(cannot now remember their name). However they were about 6ft tall and 2ft.6" wide.
    The householder asked me if I would like a demonstration, so I foolishly said yes. He put on the Tchys...... 1812 overture, the one with the canon or fireworks.

    After a few seconds there was a knock on the party wall (from the next door neighbour)

    I was also told there was a large slab of concrete laying in the bottom of each speaker!!!!!!!!

    Didn't complete my sale at that house fortunately.

    anyway Bdazler can't really add to what the others have said but nice to hear that we have an audiophile with us now. I don't know of any others here.

    For my interest can you recommend a good set of speakers to go on a computer for use playing music? Really I would like the best thing that is halfway reasonable in price. I wan't to use them to play music in my photo studio to my customers. The ones I have seen are the Sound Sticks I think Harmon Kardon make them and Bose also have speaker sets that are good for a Mac computer too.

    TIA

    A company here in Sydney called Specialized Force have a 19mm auger on a 1500mm spring steel rod. The rod can actually be bent to some small degree when its overhead room is restricted.

    Their card shows a melb number also

    039879 4833

    The drill is a green lee product used by some of the electrical authorities.
