I'll leave of on the sub for now. One never knows perhaps the sound might be
quite adequate.
Will then decide whether I will play around with virtual audio cable or find
some other way to add it.
The dealer said it will take up to 3 weeks to arrive from the UK. Usually in
my experience it is more like 2 weeks. I think they tell you 3 weeks just to
cover themselves.

Praise for your B dealer from me and he’s absolutely right about the demand,
I mean we’re talking about a rather expensive set of computer speakers are we
not and its very difficult to convince a person that they should by a set of
these speakers when they can go and buy some junk for a 20th of the price and
be satisfied - that is until they actually hear the B desktop speakers for
the first time -.
Regarding reproduction of an orchestra? I won’t say they sound as good as my
Addax Transmission Lines in the lounge room but for a desktop speaker they’re
not too far off, again your dealer hit the mark, “Be Realistic” but - unless
I’m incredibly wrong - be prepared to be a little pleasantly surprised too.
Please post your thoughts when you get your new toy.
