    good, here i am again, something completely different (didn't mind openig a new thread),
    german is going well, so are the other lessons, so i think the pro ject will be mine very soon
    long term projects.

    i'm 16 now, in Belgium, that means you can work as a jobstudent/vacation work (work for students), next summer i'm planning to do that, and with the money i earn, i'm planning to buy these:
    http://www.wharfedale.co.uk/model.ph...=16&finish=11#

    that's right, a new set of speakers, they will NOT replace the advents completely, they will be 'additioned' to the system so i can switch between speakers,

    first, i also thought about mageplanar mmg's but then again, they are kind of big, and i haven't heard a planar speaker ever (at least not playing music) and they're difficult to power.

    so, for now, wharfedale's
    note that this can change dramattically, saturday it's hi-fi show in brussels, there will be alot of brands (which are waaaay to expensive for me) but we'll see.
    Life is music!

    Hi,

    I think it's a good move to look at new speakers. Speaker design and materials used has moved on a fair bit.
    Enjoy the show on Saturday, I was in two minds if I should go, but since we will have one here in January I passed on the Brussels one.
    Wharfedale make some really fine Budget Standmounts. I have never heard any of their Floor standing range, so can't comment.
    If this is your first show, a couple of tips.Take some music with you and ask to listen to stuff you know to speakers you might like. I would just concentrate on the stuff you will be able to afford and not get side-tracked by the big hitters. But most off all enjoy and trust your ears and bare in mind that sound at a show is usual not very good.

    Have fun

    Peace

    Bernd
