RE: OT - Phone Plugs

["Graham P. Howe" <graham@xxxxxxx>]

Right now I have none, but that is because I sold 2 Rel Q50s ealier in
the year with the intention of upgrading. Of course I have since been
out of work so that is not an option right now. Once funds allow I will
probably get a pair of Rel Strata IIIs. The reason for 2 subs is that my
room is very wide and I found a single sub to be too directional (I
could tell where the bass was coming from).
