Review: Well the complete system might look expensive to some people,I do understand that point.But it is the same as a luxury car....If you can afford it,why shouldn't you do it....I have the small set of Ferguson Hill,and as well the bigger one,and honestly,no other speaker can match the quality of sound that comes out of it.
Pros: PERFECT SOUND
Cons: Maintenance,as it is see trough,you have to avoid that people put their hands on it,so....have them cleaned VERY carefully every day.

Review: We would like to thank Stuart Miles for reviewing our mini speaker system. We are glad that he was impressed by the sound quality, but would like to clarify a few points regarding the setup of the system.

The horn and bass speakers are designed to be put close together in a traditional stereo setup. The review however talks about the bass speakers as rear speakers which they are not, and then goes on to say that the leads are not long enough to get some distance from the front speakers, when they should be placed close together as per the setup instructions.

We do however supply extension leads for the speakers if required.

The mini speaker system can be used in many situations, such as with ipods, computers, CD players etc. They also work particularly well with TVs as a home cinema system, taking the analogue audio out from the TV, giving a sound that is in synch with the pictures rather than taking the sound via HDMI from the DVD player etc that may need synching with the picture.

Overall we are glad though that the reviewer thought that the system sounds stunning, but we would say that it is more versatile than the review suggests.
