I have to agree with LL though, pound for pound i have not yet heard a better all round sound from an 80's box. I have some that sound nicer generally but they are from the 70's or cost a hell of a lot more and none have such a convincing bass. Poor man's M90 i think! For a small cheap box they are brilliant.

 

Just received my first Sharp GF9595 and am pretty pleased with it. Fully working and tidy for £65  aint bad. Should get my GF9000 soon; the seller is taking his time getting good packing materials.... I won't be rushing him!

Nice one Az, they look good in stereo

 

and Nick, hope you get your 9000 in good nick, its a beautiful box.  If it gets smashed in the post I know a bloke who likes fixing them
