I've just upgraded the forum software to Xenforo 2.0. Please let me know if you have any problems with it. I'm still working on installing styles... coming soon.
Yep....
Now they sit in my music room and mostly get used when I am working from home as my work desk is in the loft connected to the open room where my drums and guitar gear are placed. They sound great in there, but I have to remember to release the snare beds on the snare drums or they buzz...
