Yes, if you can indeed make it impossible for me to cock up, you will go down in DIY history!

Supergrass -- Road To Rouen Perhaps not quite as influential as the above, but still damn damn fine.

Like Dr. Wood, I have nothing useful to add. So I'll just quote this out of context for posteri(or)ty.

You might consider geographic proximity, since these suckers will probably be pretty heavy!

XTC -- Fossil Fuel: The XTC Singles 1977 - 92

The 12s are damn huge compared to the A5s, though. Only a few complete nuts would consider them suitable for a desktop rig.

You can get Quad actives on the grey market here within that price range. Don't know if that is also true in Europe. The 11Ls would probably boot the A5s sound wise, but are also a lot more fiddly/tweaky for good or ill.

Spiritualized -- Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Got my Myers-Briggs analysis back. I am (still) an INTJ and my marked propensities are for tenderness and procrastination. So I guess if you ever need someone to promise to hold you and then never get around to it, I'm your man. Also made Irish stew, which I'm now eating.

Indeed, if your mighty sandwiches are any indication, Duggwood.

My Bloody Valentine -- Loveless

Goes without saying. Also, you're a prince!

Yeah yeah, but how do they compare to Singlepower amps in the $15K range?

Won't say what they cost, won't say what they sound like. I'm so glad I'm in for one!

Mojave 3 -- Puzzles Like You

luvdunhill - 8 - 4 Asr - 0 - 4 Stretch - 0 - 4

Prefab Sprout -- Steve McQueen

How is the sound quality?

It's terrible what drugs have done to Michael Phelps.

I could have, I guess. Feel free.

Ayre MX-R -- $10,000. Dog dish and Ikea coffee cups -- $7.50. Appropriately elevated speaker cable -- priceless.

I love you and I want to have your babies.

We have a winner!
