Sound Control is one of the best options, they are connected to everything else... and to everyone else too... Great shop and prices.

I bought mine from Digital Village in Barnet. Very knowledgable staff, although with a bit of a lean towards NS10s for some reason! I bought KRK K-Roks in the end after listening to a few different pairs. They're always happy to do a deal as well, which is useful.

Cheers,
Will

I used to go to Raper & Wayman a lot. They'll demo anything for you but you need to phone in advance. I got some PMC TB-1s years ago and they're still going strong (though I'm in the market for something a little bigger now). They're web site is http://www.raperandwayman.com and PMC's is http://www.pmcloudspeaker.com and I can't recommend these speakers enough. They're made by some ex-BBC sound people and are a Great British speaker. Please, whatever you decide, I beg you, don't go near NS-10s; those things are shite of the first order and it's about time people realised the truth. It's a conspiracy I tell you.

Oh, and if you fancy a drink and a geeky Pulsar chat while you're here send us a mail.

Tony.

My recomendation, whatever the music you do, is: LEASTEN THEM BEFORE BUYING! Do not accept butying if you are not satisfied. This is like mariage... you know what I mean, you have to think about it well beforehand...
