| Try the B+W "Vision" series. Reading HiFi probably have them, if not,
try Comic, ooops, I mean Comet.

| Before I start I'd better say that I've never heard any of the speakers
you mention, but here's my $.02 worth anyway.
Speakers are probably the most variable component of your whole system
and consiquentley need a long time to test, in as close an environment
to yours at home, it's no good going to a departmental store standing
amongst the hustle and busle of saturday shoppers, you want to go
somewhere where you can relax and enjoy yourself.
Reading Hi-Fi is probably the best dealer in town, they've got two
special listening rooms and they can set up 'your' hi-fi for you,
consiquently you usually have to book a room in advance. I don't
know if they've got the equipment you mention, but they've usually
got a fair selection of stuff.

| Reading HiFi is a nice shop. I've heard the Celestions and liked them.
I still like my Diamonds, and would probably recommend the 'Super Diamond' or
whatever it's called in preference to the Delta 30.

| Reading Hi-Fi stock the Celestion 3: I got a pair there. I don't know about
the other models. They're a good dealer. They will suggest alternatives - and
not just the magazines' favourites - and try to set up a demonstration system
like your own so you can make an informed choice.

| 156.5 | Too late for DL4's ? | FORTY2::GROOM | | Tue Mar 13 1990 17:37 | 13 |

If you go to Reading Hi-Fi they will try and sell you some Royd's for
about #110, they ain't half bad. I personally prefered the Celestion
Dl4's for about #140. (Well worth the addition from the C3's)
But as the 'Shipman law' of Hi-Fi purchasing goes - be very wary of
listening to stuff you can't afford.
But I guess you have got something by now?
Alex.
PS. Don't forget the stands - approx #50

re:-1
Do Reading hi-fi have the DL4's mark II. I've listened to the
Celestion 3 and they're not too bad. But I'm allowing myself to spend
up to #150 for a pair so I'm interested in the DL4.
By the way has anyone heard the new NAD speakers for around 150.
The review said they were good but Reading Hi-fi don't stock NAD so
they told me so I can't compare. Has anyone heard either of these two.
Thanks

| RE.156.6
Try and get a listen to the JBL TLX12 speaker too...it's got a nice
open sound, as has the SONY APM 121 ES.
I still haven't made my mind up yet, still auditioning !

| WELL.......IN THE END I MANAGED TO PICK UP A PAIR OF SONY APM 22ES
WHICH SOUND REMARKABLY GOOD. I'VE GOT A SET OF INDUSTRIAL WALL MOUNTS,
AND FEEL A LOT HAPPIER.
