I go on holiday next Saturday for 10 days so it will be mostly built by then but will have to be finished when I get back.

[BadgerBeerIsBest]

Ok Doc thanks for letting me know.
If you would be so kind as to let me know when you post them so I can ensure someone will be in.
Many thanks have a good holiday.

Enjoy the new toys when they arrive. What preamp are you going to use with them?

TB2's are gutless and will need every Watt you can give them! Surely there's something better these days than an overpriced PMC? (the prices on all models have rocketed over the last twelve years, almost doubling in price and spoiling the fun)..

As I am just starting to rebuild a main system after selling it to move house, it was Naim cd555, 2 x 555 power supplies, 252 pre + supercap, 300 amp, the PMC OB1i and all chord company indigo & signature cables.
All I have at the mo is a second system which is Cyrus cdxtse2 transport, Naim Unitiqute pre/ streamer, Nas drive, Naim 100 amp, Project 5.1 tt, ortofon 2m blue, Naim phono + ps, Pmc tb2 speakers and some Chord sarum and indigo interconnects.

Could not agree more, I am using them because I have already got them, the old ' I ' series did have good vocal quality though. Listened to the new twenty series and IMHO just awful far to lean and over hyped and over priced.
Promised the other half would stick to 'shoe box' size boxes and stand mounted speakers until the kitchen, bathroom, garden, conservatory etc. are done, moving house is a real chore.

Would be rely great full for any suggestions of stand mounts that work well with the NVA amps, have yet to hear Neat's, Kudos, ATC, Harbeth and quite a few more on my list, need to do a hi-fi show desperately. I would like a speaker that produces an out of box sound not fixed between them but open in the room.

More importantly is there any speakers that I cannot use with the NVA amps like electrostatics or similar flat panel designs.

The recommendation will probably be Royds or old JPWs.

Agreed. I enjoyed using tiny JPW speakers with A80s.
