It says real wood veneer. Unless I see pics, I have no doubt the plinth is veneered MDF.

Would better amplification solve congestion ?
Peter_F replied to Berkel's topic in Stereo Amplifiers & Pre-Amps
Its pretty obvious too much is being asked of the speakers as they're far too small, and a 2-way, to cope with the demands of complex music played a reasonable levels. -
In the pics it appears to be vinyl and not a timber or veneer finish.

How to cut perfect 45 degree angle for mitre timber joint
Peter_F replied to Spider27's topic in DIY Audio Projects
Making good mitre cuts is not as easy as people think. Things to consider are: The Saw - I have a top level Makita which is lovely to use but there is play in the arbor, which means the blade has some lateral movement and is inhibited by not being able to cut as accurately as it could. The best mitre saws I have used are Omga, which are belt drive, and have a very high quality arbor/bearing assembly with zero lateral play allowing the blade to cut optimally. The Blade - I have a 96 tooth high quality timber blade which I only use for timber cuts. It cost $300 so it only come -
Kef Concerto - Need some advice

They have Concerto components but they're not factory Concerto boxes. They appear to be DIY cabinets. -
floorstanding speakers upgrade recommendation
Peter_F replied to blackhole's topic in Speakers, Soundbars and Subwoofers
Not if the amplification isn't up to the task, and the better the speaker the more it will expose an incapable or unsuitable amplifier. -
Yes!

Yes indeed. Unfortunately audiophiles generally like domestic hifi amps, which are mostly limited in capacity and performance. The Yamaha P2200 is an excellent amp for the Gale 401's, but getting quite rare and pricey these days.

For sale is a set of legendary KEF Reference 104.2 speakers. These have been professionally refurbished with no expense spared as I intended to keep them. Here's a link to the refurbishment thread: Unfortunately these have been sitting wrapped up in storage, unused since March, and after some pleasant conversations with the wife have decided to be practical about things. The work undertaken includes: Cabinets completely refurbished and finished in laminate, which has added significant bracing to the cabinets, Original tweeters serviced with new Ferro

If only they could make movies this good! Loved it from the start, and the ending was brilliant. 👍

I had a remaster box set that included the Wall and all were diabolically dull and couldn't listen to them at all. I have US and UK 1st pressings and they are excellent. But there is a UK 1997 reissue which a couple of locals have, and it could be the best recording of any LP I've ever heard. If you can get one I think they're around $200 and one day I will own one.
