	Hi Simon,

	Did you have any luck with the TDL 0.5 speakers.
	
	What sort of amplifier was required to drive them ?

	etc. etc.

	Iain.

	Hi Iain,

	I'm afraid I haven't got around to auditioning the 0.5's yet.

	When I do I'll post my findings.

	The dealer I was speaking to said he thought the Kelvin amp would
	suit the  0.5's well. This amp is class a/b  only 20W  per channel.

	The review of the 0.5's said that it could sound bright with the wrong 
	amp. So careful matching required.

	I'd be interested in hearing about thenm if you try them before I do.

	Simon

    Thought the TDL note needed updating -
    
    A mate of mine bought some TDL Near Field Monitor II bookshelf-type
    speakers the other day - excellent buy for under 200 quid (Richer
    Sounds).  They made his Akai amp sound amazing, the clarity was
    stunning, and the sound was huge for such a small box - I suppose this
    is a feature of most of TDL's range.  I bought some RTL 2's at
    Christmas and am still well impressed with them in conjunction with the
    Audio Innovations Alto I have.
