Popped in here today for a wee look as I'm looking at buying a new TV so I thought I'd look elsewhere as I've already done the Curry's and Comet thing. Just to see what else my money could buy......well that's what I thought.

I bought a Hi Fi from them years ago and I've still got it and it still sounds mint so I thought, why not.

After I entered I saw the TV's stuck on the wall and thought, yeah, stunning!! Then I saw a mint pair of speakers and when I was told that they start at 15K for a set!!!!:eek: I then turned round and informed Scott (who's 5) to stand still and put his hands in his pockets and not move.:lol:

The guy who worked and owned the shop was a top gent and he informed me that they'll do a basic Hi Fi set-up including good speakers for around the 30K mark.:lol:

I soon left.:p:lol:

Just goes to show how the "other" half live, eh!!

bang and olufsen are worth that much, believe me ;)

your not buying a home stereo....your buying a studio style setup, with unbeatable sound

I know there are, my father had a B&O set up years ago but there is no way I'll be paying that! Might be worth every penny but who has 15K just sitting there to be spent on a pair of speakers.:rolleyes::lol:

When i said to his daughter - lucky you getting to go away all the time and she replied - well we need to use up some of our money, we have too much ( she`s 9 ) i thought....alright for some :(
