| New Speakers (Not really 56k friendly) OK, 3040's being gently bed in, here's the pics as promised. View from the couch - 32" Samsung TV with Gale Centre on top  Kenwood 200 disc CD changer and Yammy DVD  Yammy Surround amp and obligatory X-box  Then the antiques corner - Video, MD recorder and a thoroughly modern MVP!  Rear Aristons on Ikea stands   Paradigm 8" sub sat behind the couch  So how does it all sound? Definately an improvement - Much clearer in the midrange with a lot more defination. Not pushing the volume too far just yet, but so far I'm happy. And mr richer will let me take them back in 14 days time if I'm not! Oh and not forgetting the other "home entertainment centre".....

| Are they those really cheapo Aristons from Richer sounds? At £15 I was thinking of getting a pair just for the fun of it, what are they like stereo sound wise?
