Ah thank you! No, i did the cable check, so it's in the speaker, To be honest i have been waiting for it to happen, this speaker has never switched on and off (that click sound when it turns on), and it stays on, even if the switch is in the popped out position. I hope it doesn't cost more than a hundred pounds... i'm not very wealthy at

I just got home from work and switched everything on at the powerpoint, as i do, and while everything was sitting in standby, my left bl4000 was making an arcing sound and the light was glowing yellowy greeny reddy (as if it was being electrocuted)!

a2bur: My dealer said today that the BL5's are over £ 10000 now . Richard Better than 13,500 pounds, which is what they cost in aus

Sorry this is off topic, oh and i do agree, we mustn't attack one another on here it's a great place. It's un-called for... anywho, hey ed7, you said you've been once bitten, what happened?? I agree a new merc is better money spending - the new shape may also be a return to the good old fashioned 'over engineering' that was last
