I would love to hear those.

[geotrig]

Wha'evah.

I like ugly

yeah they are nice from the side angle i just dont like them from the front ,but i do suppose in the right setup they could/would look stunning

[SuperPang]

I think they're gorgeous, but then I've always liked AG. I have 3 of these bad boys.

[geotrig]

yeah most of the ag stuff is really nice,i' just not gone on the shape of the 3.1 mark linked to not that it matters i cant afford any of them

edit wait does the cover stay on ? i prefer them with the cover on tehy look way cooler

i like those they are really nice

[markedkiller78]

They all look better naked & they all look great.



They are silly expensive though, well they were.

I like the strada, but £750ea for the front 3

[SuperPang]

Blimey. My Ref AV were £800 ea from Peter Tyson 3 years ago. Expensive but they're keepers.

[markedkiller78]

AG are claiming that it's becoming increasingly more expensive to obtain cast aluminim blocks & manufacturing costs have increased in the last 10 years.......

The Strada get great reviews. People use them as computer speakers. A set of 3 just sold for £1450 on ebay, it was in the US so + shipping I think AG know that they can charge more as they have no customers they might as well keep their prices in line with their competitors.

[geotrig]

They have some A5's too. Worth considering Mark.

[markedkiller78]

On my watch list

what about the S5e at £500? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spendor-S5e-l ... 367wt_1399"

[SuperPang]

what about the S5e at £500?

A5 are better I think.

Tempted to have a crack at the A9s if they go cheap but I'd need to double my power amp budget (I say budget, it's currently non existent, as is the speaker budget ).

I've been to bakeoffs

Shaun, I want you to show me on the doll where the old men touched you.

Quad 909 won on ebay, just need to pay for the CDP2 & find some speakers

I've found a couple of places in glasgow / edinburgh that have spendors, so will audition them at the weekend.

I guees I'll need to use speakers 6 & 7 form my surround amp in the interim
