RE: Libra Systems Launches AL-1 Remote Audio Control

[<ha@xxxxxxx>]

QED haven't got their act together yet. Modt of the product won't even be
available for a few months I think.

Speakers would be the same =A3100 a pair type that everyone and his wife
imports from Taiwan.

Sounds good.

This doesn't seem too bad seeing it includes amps, remote etc.  You could
spend much more than this on the speakers alone.  I suppose it depends on
the quality of your speakers though.  There seems very little product
avialable between the =A35 supermarjet music jobbies and the high end
"Fi"
stuff.
