Although I've never heard them I've heard great things about the Chord amps
(sorry guys I'm not trying to turn this into an AV list, I just love the
stuff:)

The manager of Unilet used to have the same set up as me (4x8000MX + Kef
104/2s), he now has a single Chord amp, and a pair of Celestion A3s - no
need for a sub with these they produce 36Hz-20k at +/-2 dB. I his opinion
it
is better, but I'm not into changing at the moment!

Tim.
