[QUOTE="Ands, post: 1116515, member: 21995"] Hi All, I have been a member of this forum for quite some time now. This is my first post. I miss the old days of being able to pop into a hifi shop and hear a new set of speakers, amplifier or CD player set up professionally in a listening room. It was somewhat of a Saturday morning ritual for me. Today, buying hifi gear is a great deal more challenging. Without being able to hear a set of speakers prior to purchasing it, one is forced to do copious amounts of research. Yes, audio reviews can be helpful, but judging by how relatively few negative reviews there are out there, I think they are better served as a means of preparing a shortlist. Forums such as this one become far more valuable in that regard, because this is where people share what they really think about an item - and they are not being paid by the manufacturer to do so. Cheers, Ands [/QUOTE]
