RMweb Gold 55020 Posted April 12, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 12, 2019 At the risk of stating something totally obvious, just because Bif isn't happy with his Class 40 soundfile doesn't mean it still isn't the best on the market 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not tried the 40 though so that could be one of their good ones. Richard Not having a model in front of me, any chance of having a speaker fitted ( drill / cut /etc etc ) in the tanks underneath ?
