You are simply making unsubstantiated counter-assertions, of no significant validity. There is no point in continuing a discussion on those terms. My view is not just my personal view; it's that of certified bodies in Britain. Your assertion that a loudspeaker is equivalent to a cable is unsustainable. They emit d.c. magnetic fields and some emit audio- frequency magnetic fields. Some emit sound when subjected to an external audio-frequency magnetic field, which could be interpreted as a lack of immunity. The input terminals may carry hazardous voltages. Why take the tough decision not to CE mark, when it costs very little to do so and to print in the instructions the text that I previously posted? -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only. http://www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Interested in professional sound reinforcement and distribution?
