Hi All.
Update i picked up the very kind of the free speakers from Nick today he also gave me another set of speakers.

A great big thank you to Nick once again for his increadable offer of these speakers

And thank you to all who took the time to comment and help me on this.

Makes a difference with a pair of decent speakers, I had a pair of celestion speakers some years ago and liked them, but those will be a major improvement on the ones supplied,
Enjoy listening to your music, you'll notice things that you didn't before,
Regards, Alan.

That's good.

What you've run into is the issue that loudspeakers are the chief limiting factor in most audio systems. Hifi aficionados can get rather snooty about all sorts of things and overlook this small fact, but it doesn't go away.

There are some fine and generous people on this forum, I find.
