Hi. KEF has their kubes speaker equaliser that work with their specific speakers to enhance bass performance. I have the Kube 104/2 that goes along with the 104/2 reference speaker. Anybody knows where I can get/view the user manual, cos I'm not quite sure how to connect. Or, anybody knows how to connect and use the Kube? Thanks.

Scotland's Dunedin Consort's recreation of the 1742 premiere performance of Messiah in Dublin is wonderful fun. The performances are transparent, crisp light and energetic; the sound, clean and natural (Hybrid SACD).

There are many fewer performers than one normally hears, both in the choir and orchestra. I greatly prefer this.

Information on the differences between the "standard' version and the Dublin is on the Dunedin Consort's website, http://www.dunedin-consort.org.uk/messiahcd.aspx.

I commented to Tim that, although hi-fi can be a bullshit business, you can't bullshit pro audio customers.

"No. It's a tool to them, it's not a frivolity. And they're not going to suffer fools gladly. Home hi-fi, well, you can go back even 50 years and there's a lot of product that was cheesy, and came and went.
