    Yeah!
    
    See note 17.1, although I don't know if they have many left.
    
    I work in Millenium House, Reading if you would like a listen.
    
    Regards,
    Robert.
    
p.s. I will be in Blansingsmoke (Creshent) on Friday afternoon if you work near
    there.

    Rob,
    
    Could you give me a number to contact this shop as I am VERY interested.
    I was prepared to pay 139.99 for the KRC 363L, so the offer in note
    17.1 sound very appetising.
    
    As for your invite, I don't think it would be loud enough for me to hear
    as I work in Manchester!....anyway I'll take your word for it.

    Suggestions for an amp gladly received.
    
    2 channel, no more than 30 watts cont. need not be pokey since only
    powering tweeters, but quality therefore of high value.
    
    Looking at an Alpine 2x60w amp (cant remember model number) -anyone
    have experience of this amp?
    
    Amp needs to be fairly small (ie. not much bigger than 180mm x 200mm I
    reckon).
    
    Anyone? Value up to 150 quid.
    
    Cheers, Dan

    I use the "1� x Fag packet" sized Alpine amp for a couple of small
    front speakers. It cost me �25 2'nd hand from the shop I bought the
    rest of my Alpine stuff from and sound pretty good. It's about 2x20
    watts RMS - don't know what that is continuous.

    PS I've seen a lot of these amps 2nd hand as people use them with high
    quality head units as a main amp 'till they can afford something
    better.
99.6FORTY2::HOWELLFunbags InspectorateFri Jul 22 1994 13:529
    Sounds good - any model number?
    
    I'd imagine 2x20w rms is something like 2x18w @~0.04% (I like the way
    alpine don't try and make their amps sounds stonkingly powerful by
    quoting a power output at some ridiculous THD figure!). I'll keep my
    eye open - thanks a lot.
