    Seen some bigger versions with a similar design but not seen this one before. All work and with the removable power supply and removeable speakers. Even has a proper line in which works well. Lovely little thing :)

    Very nice! :biggrin: Looks good in red, the larger models seem quite common don't see so many of these.

    Northerner, we are definitely brothers from another mother! I just got my mine a couple days ago! Of course you have the ultra-cool red and mine's North America boring black but these little guys are so cool. I didn't realize how small it was and I love the tiny boxes so it was a good surprise when mine showed up in it's little tiny shipping box. The speakers are really neat because it's almost like a Transformer the way you can turn them into position. The unit is very stout and not cheap looking at all sitting on my desk. One of the curious things is the wall wart that actually mounts on the back of the unit and doesn't plug into the wall. Yes it makes the unit look beefy for being so small but I wonder if having it plug into the wall would be a little bit nicer.

    The speakers have a nice solid heavy feel to them and they click into position with a positive detent. The wiring is kind of weird, not an RCA connection but a square connection, but that's it's appeal, almost hand made. Thanks for posting maybe we need to start another little box thread, there was one years ago but it's in the archives now....

    Defo hints of Transformer about it. Part of what makes it cool. Yeh the power supply on the back is weird but if you’re carrying it about on batteries it does reduce the weight a lot if you can leave the power supply behind :)

    I've got this one in black too.
    I went through a time when I was keen on minis loaded with toys.
    I got it from an s2g-er near Brighton/Worthing. AO might remember who he was…
