Yay!!!
Remember that I said I enjoyed the music (and screaming at the top of my lungs) so much and that our speakers were not that good anymore (very bad actually)
When I was talking to John about how we deserve good music, good speakers and a good life in general (always a good way to pave the path to buying something new) he said he had thought the same thing!
Well... whaddayaknow!
So I went for a hunt on ebuyer, generally THE place to buy any new stuff with a plug and we really liked the Logitech Z-2300 - all the reviews I have seen were very good, maybe not high end stuff but then again we are not like my brother who is one of those high end hifi people and makes his own speakers with special wood and in special shapes to get a certain resonance and all that.
He once owned a car that gave you a back massage as well as ruined your hearing, all at the same time, boom cars they call those. I will NEVER forget hearing the Fugees in that, 'Ready or Not' was... organic!
Anyway, I digress...
The Z-2300... I already added it to my basket and was on the way out when I thought 'hang on, lets check if there is anything bad on google' and no, all good reviews so that was ok.. but I did notice they were a lot cheaper in the US on Amazon and of course from there thought, hmm... lets check Amazon, you never know!
And wahey! They are cheaper in total because Amazon doesn't charge any shipping if you are a patient old thing (which we are) so I just saved us a tenner.. and that feels good!
Can't wait to get the clarity of a tweeter with the richness and fullness of a separate midrange - always wanted one of those. (side note, do you know that site? http://www.iwantoneofthose.com)
So somewhere end of this or beginning next week the neighbours will really get it.
Note to self: 'Do not dry any laundry while testing speaker system'

Free Shipping better than price cuts?
Ha! It is not the free shipping I was enticed by :-) I always go to 'my basket' to see what the total is, because in this case, ebuyers item was cheaper but with the shipping it was more expensive than the total for Amazon. So yeah, it can make a huge difference if one takes the time to compare notes :-)
