There's a lot less benefit in putting a bass-reflex design in a corner,

OT: Stunning graffiti at my 'wormhole' atm!
Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:00:24 +0100

Hi,
We will be moving from Oxford to Dorset (BH20 5BB). At present I use a Denon
tuner. I am concerned about getting good FM reception in this part of Dorset

from our digital TV (we will be using Sky). Both will feed into a decent amp
