You're trying to compare the historic city of Winchester - with its close
bonds with the formation of this great country, Kings Arthurs seat, the
round table etc., the beautifull cathedral, the gorgeous surroundings (and
what are acclaimed to be two of the nicest driving roads in the UK - the
A3=
2
and the A272) within easy reach with *CROYDON*!!! :-O

Probably the older "i" version - they tend to whap about =A3500
off the old=
er
versions when the new one comes out - same happened with the original AX10
when the AX10i came out.

You should see his "play room" at work. He's got some
floorstanding Pioneer
speakers (a full 5 channel set) that were imported from Pioneer Japan that
=
I
think he told me were =A32k a speaker (they do sound bloody nice though).
There's also (IIRC) a pair of the huge REL blanket chest sized subs and
several sets of M&K surrounds. :-D
