Where can I find that elusive pair of SBL's?

Posted by: Matt worlock on 25 May 2003

Hey there all,

I'm basically coming round to the idea that Sbl's are for me.....Yes I know I've not been favourable towards them in the past...but opinions can change ...can't they

Anyhow I have recently been searching high & low for a pair of Sbl's in walnut,cherry or anything other than black..no WAF you see!........newer the better

.....

Any ideas where I might find some???

Cheers

Loot, Ebay, PFM plus the mags.

Take your time, definately go for post 1998 which sounds better due to the new all veneered cabinet.

Try a 'want-ad' on www.topica.com

You'll find a dedicated Naim section there.

Good luck.

Give Derek at New Audio Frontiers (Loughborough) a call as he is likely to have a pair of walnut ones (2nd hand of course!) coming to him soon....
Mint condition with latest drivers, boxed etc. etc. etc.

Computers are supposed to work on 1's and 0's - in other words "Yes" or "No" - why does mine frequently say "Maybe"?......

Home demo of the NBL's coming up next week..... I'm pretty sure it'll be NBL's or SL2's replacing my SBL's (which are bloody amazing anyway!)

I'll let you know :-)

Matt & Alex,
Congrat. to both.
You both should start searching for glass fronted or some sort of cabinet to protect your "prize posessions" from little ones(They don't start this until they are about 9mths.old)
