I recently enjoyed an afternoon of Phil and Lesley's hospitality in Chesterfield, sharing nostalgia and enjoying some very good music through Phil's glorious hi-fi. I can confirm the large room is filled by the Fact 8's with the Majestic at 9 o'clock (as if anyone doubted this) and all the music I heard was wonderfully reproduced by two slim tower speakers and a small pile of net silver boxes. Probably the best hi-fi I've heard and it brought the music to life. Well done to PMC and GSP/HFSC and thanks again to Phil for our time together with the music. |

Nice! There can't be many better ways to spend an evening than listening to good music, reproduced well, and in good company.
My proprius continue to delight me. I've written more here about these than the Accession for instance. I think this because I knew already that Graham could design world class phono stages, so it was no surprise that it turned out to be a stunner. With the Proprius, it wasn't so much that I doubted they'd be good, in fact I expected good, I wasn't quite prepared for just how good and how, now that they are fully burnt in, they show a clean pair of heels to my £2.5k, 250w amp in pretty much every way that matters - especially that most crucial of factors - ENJOYMENT! It's all good news guys - size doesn't matter! It really is what u do with it that counts |

It was a real pleasure! There's nothing better than sharing good music with like-minded people!

It's a pity we don't have an edit button that we can use after the message has been posted. I did mean to say that although a lot of people praise my PMC Fact 8 speakers (which are great!) In my opinion a hi-fi setup is only as good as its weakest link. Good speakers can only reproduce what is fed into to them. In my case this is (apart from the Squeezebox Touch and the speakers) a complete Graham Slee system. This includes a Majestic, a pair of Proprius amps which are all connected with GSP interconnects and cables. If there is any doubt in your mind those little 25 W beauties can blow the roof off whilst at the same time delivering real quality sound! I don't know how Graham does it but I think he produces some of the best hi-fi you can get!

I tend to agree with Phil on this. There is the argument that by over engineering at the front end of the system including cables, clean mains, amps etc the outcome through more modest speakers can produce a result far better than may be reasonably expected. This view dates back to many hifi shows and demos back in the late 70s and early 80s.
There have been a few exceptions to this rule but not many from my experience. |

It's good to have a systematic approach but I suspect there's as much art as science in fine tuning the setup to get the sound you want.
