Hilarious - though the reference may not be familiar to forumites outside the UK Smile. Do you mean you like Ann Widdecombe?

It's a while since I last heard her but remember that she did project a rather forward, strident and often relentlessly fatiguing mid-range

As a none UK forumite I would for sure appreciate some background to the Ann W comment.

I also come from the Naim camp and Dev is def better in all areas. The thing is that the Dev really do PRAT so good it is just natural music coming out of the speakers as it doesn't leave a mark of it self like a product that is 'tuned' this or that way. 

Well we all have our experiences and opinions.

I've read the term Pace Rhythm and Timing a number of times in reviews but never understood what it stands for. If I wouldn't read it in the context of an amp, I woud think you were talking about the drummer... Can someone please enlighten me?
