Will the real Arriva or Ariva please stand up!!!

Anyone that would choose to name a speaker after a shite train company and poor bus company is beyond the understanding of most anyway. I think it adds a bit of attraction to have it spelt in many different ways, kinds of spice up an otherwise silly name.

At least it's not called London Transport(!)

Neither word means anything that I am aware of here in sunny Florida!!

Does the image window on the website still still say Intro 2 as well? ( at least the picture is the ar(r)iva

Still interested in opinions....

Completely off topic I know but having lived in and visited many cities in the UK/Europe/World, London's transport system is far far away the best anywhere. Why then do Londoners constantly berate it? Just a thought.

Yes Ar(r)iva is a crap name. No musical link whatsoever has it? Surely if you're going to name rather than number a speaker it should be after something with at least a vague musical connotation?

Hi,

How the hell do you spell Arriva/Ariva?

Even Naim have spelt it two different ways on their website.

Says Arriva on the little picture of the speaker then when you click on it is says Ariva all over the place.

As my prize for spotting this please send a pair of the aforementioned speakers to me!!

Regards

Richard

Naim people dont go to school (they play music)

Please Tim sir, Richard left an ' out.

Howard

Where did Richard leave out an apostrophe?

Unless he's a greengrocer, I can't spot an incorrect possessive or unadorned abbreviation.

Looks perfectly punctuated to me unless I suppose, being pedantic, one could say he omitted a comma or full stop after "Regards".

I'd have difficulty buying speakers with the name of this the most inept of bus companies. I'd forever wonder if the timing was all wrong.

Regard's:

I got a CSE Grade 1 in English when i wuz at skool!!!

:-)

Just checked NANA's website and there is no pricing info....

How much will they be in the US?

Best,

Bob

Nothing to do with the bus company - they're called Arriva, I think.

The speaker is called Ariva, sorry about the spelling mistake on the website, those responsible will be dealt with appropriately...

Richard

Does this mean I will get my free pair of Ariva speakers for finding this mistake? ;-)

Every hopeful......

Bob

I have been told that the US price will be right at $2400-$2,500 when available.

Clay

dont or don't

Er, almost... How about a free Arriva bus ticket, Purley Way to Coulsden High Street, one-way....?

Richard

Would that include my air fare from Orlando to London?

One sensible question.....(maybe a first for me)
Are the Ariva's going to be typical Naim speakers that love it up against the wall good and hard....oooo eeerrrr missus!!!

Living in the US with plaster board walls will this be a problem?

Also, does a comma in a number count as punctuation??
From Clays' post "$2400-$2,500" - should it be with or without the comma?

Richard

Howard,

It wasn't Richard who made the "dont / don't" error, it was Tuan, unless of course he is also a Richard.

But then, Richard DOES go and do it...
("Ariva's", "Clays'")

D'oh! (How on earth is THAT supposed to be punctuated..?)

Commas to denote thousands in numbers are optional, but should I imagine be consistent.

I'm off for a very large glass of wine to calm myself down.

R'od

I know that no one will beleive me, but.....it was a miserable attempt at punctuation sarcasm.

Punccasm if you will or sarction

I heartly agree with R'o'd' - off for an alcholic beverage.

(If only I had been bright enough to do a GCE instead of a CSE, my life and punctuation as we know it would have been so different)

Richard

'R'o'd' correct it was Tuan. I had not seen that had quoted Richard. I was just having a jab at Tim after he "told" me off for a punctuation error.

Howard

Er, "i before e" Richard, and all that.

I like punccasm. It rock's.
