Looks pretty good for what you need to me! And reasonably priced. If you needed more storage, it holds a micro-SDHC. You can pick up 64gb for around a tenner these days.

I have a pair of Ruark MR1 Mk2 linked to a Yamaha sub-woofer. They are wonderful.

Do you think a sub-woofer is necessary for a smallish room with those speakers?

I've just ordered them (the walnut version) on John Lewis after looking them up. They look amazing and exactly what I've been looking for

I have the walnut version with the tweed cloth - lovely.

No, you don't really need a sub - they have bass port on the bottom and produce pretty good and tightish bass particularly when sighted on a dense surface.

But if you have a sub - say, for the telly - then it adds a subtle richness to bottom end.

Perfect.

Thanks man.

I'd like to get one of these drones, but the really decent ones cost a fortune. Here is one with a Steadidrone Quadcopter, filming in the local area where I lived when I was a kid and young adult.

I'd like a top of the range DSLR, e.g. Nikon or Canon. Again they cost a fortune.

As an aside, there was a question on The Chase (quiz show). How many masts does a ketch have? I said 2 immediately. If I don't know the answer to that I should shoot myself, being a nautical person. The famous Salcombe Yawl is a type of ketch. The contestant said 3, the chaser said one.

Yes for TV dramas and movies especially the sub can come into it's own with the lower frequency capabilities. The kind of music most people listen too doesn't actually hit that low on the frequency scale, if people only use the MR1 for music they probably don't really need a sub.

it would be fun. How expensive for a decent drone? And you lived in Salcombe, wow lucky you.

A more modern phone.

My Nan could do with that the numbers are nice and clear she probably won't be able to lift it though.

It still looks rather stylish 34 years on.

At least I think so.

Nothing wrong with having a phone like Del Boy in 2018.

Noted.

I don’t have a sub woofer but might be tempted in the future. The speakers got delivered yesterday but I was at friends all day so haven’t tried them out yet but soon!

I lived in the area for the best part of 21 years and had free reign of an area of countryside 2.5 miles x 2.5 miles in size (estimated), 300 yards away from the nearest water and 150 yards away from a farm. Most bases covered really. My Dad knew the landowner, so both Dad and I didn't need to worry about trespassing.

As for Steadidrone, a battery is being sold for $179 on Amazon, so you can imagine the full model isn't going to be cheap. No doubt there are cheaper makes which are pretty good.
