I received with many thanks a gift from Mr. Brown, and to be truthful I was surprised not because of the action of giving which I have found to be rare indeed and when done is always generous in this business but the amazing and surprising sound and the new lease of life these amazing Royd speaker have given to my music enjoyment. I tried them first on my NAS thing and the Blue Ray digital thing with the Tellurium Q modified Atom I made for Maria, to say the sound was OKish and a bit lacking is spot on. It was music for house work and the TV musicals with a dash spit cough yuk football ambience she enjoys and on the Q Acoustics that were in place before a big improvement and was only a TV sound system and not special. Even on the EWA Claymore the "Q" were fair but not musical at all, well not to my taste I like deep controlled Bass and a tingle on the neck when playing classical choral music, these never did that. So for two plus year the Q and the TV sound with the Atom Special lived in the living room play "Deadender" and "Footcrap" sounds of noise. Now along come Mr. Brown and asks me to collect a pair of Royd's please for south London only a thirty minute drive under Thames and you must be holding one's breath in the Blackwall rat hole. Is it me I always want to have a shower as soon as I leave that mess. Well I get them to the living room fit them to the EWA Claymore (yes dear I dusted behind the TV) and was shocked at the sound stage, the image the top end delight the sublime bass was to die for. Maria is not home he he and my thoughts where loud music and stuff I like, I was in musical heaven. 1) Art of Noise was first up and I found myself dashing between tracks and loving the brief sampling I was getting deep nice bass my feet (well the left one) was tapping away and I wanted bop about it was great. 2) The next was choral music the tingle was back, quick move on were my thought I only have five hour before the boss gets home. 3) OK not all will like this but my dad and I sung along to the Motorola Radio on MW whilst driving from home and travelling to work at Plessey every time we heard it and it was "T Rex and " Hot Love" yes the MK 1 Cortina was back and dad my brother Andy and I was singing along. Well this went on for the whole five hours and I forgot to collect the boss the door swung open whilst I was listening to "Lawyer in Love" and in came the Mrs. deep shite NO she loved it and found us both now track hoping until 11.30PM. The next day more music and even a sound track to a Star Trek movie, what a great system, anyhow I must dash the Kraftwerk tracks have just ended. THANK YOU MR BROWN

What a great story, Colin, and well played, Mr. Brown, whoever you are. Truly enjoying your music is a blissful experience, and I'm glad it's an experience you're having again, Colin.

Oh this is worse than drugs, I suspect my electric bill to be huge. The Claymore and the we Royd's as a match system is so musical and foot bounce is catching. It look like I may have a twitch now, NO it's the music. (I must fit solar now to the house as well as my pit) Sam my stepson came home yesterday from Uni to go to a stag party, I introduced him to the sound and I fitted a ageing Micromega to the system. Black Sabbath followed by other heavy rock and Pink Floyd filled the house until the small hours. Up at 3.00AM (my normal time) and on went piano music, I hate piano normally but this was lovely, then old Blue Eyes found on Youboob. I never took Frank to be my style of music but his voice was magic. At 5.00AM the boss came down, whoop me in the doodoo me thinks no, it was request time. So for the next 2.30Hr I played the Wurzles and Girly music. The "Combine Harvester" was fun so played twice the live recording let you join Somerset Cider drinker and I was home again in the fields around South Petherton. The 35yr old Micromega CD was amazing and out performed the NAS by a long way, so today the Gyro Deck will be connected to the Claymore.' Now it's time to go shopping and enjoy the manic SE London lunatic drives, hey do car manufactures fit Sam Missiles to cars and ejector seats on request? anybody!.

Looks like you have stumbled upon that elusive synergistic match of components Colin . Enjoy the music mate
Oh... and well done to Mr Brown for his kindness . In my experience , what goes round comes around , and acts of kindness like this are always repaid many times over .

Of to Bournemouth on Wednesday to hear a old Claymore on Royds, it should be fun but going by train and via London Waterloo station, last time I was there I fell over at the top of the escalators and some stupid idiot stood on my back in a rush, but the staff picked me and gave me a lovely cup of tea. I never caught the train that day went home shaken up a bit and bruises on me back.

Waterloo is like that. Every man to themselves.

Magical speakers, just make music in a believable way. Royd speakers respond extremely well to much more expensive gear around them, and turn the ‘spend the budget on the speakers’ argument on its head.
