    @blastman,


    It's possible that your post won't be seen by RS in the timescale you have in mind, if you want something picked up I'd advise you to phone the shop tomorrow morning and speak to the guys.

    Cheers,

    Ritz.

    They must have been busy, all right. I couldn't even get through on the phone a couple of times! Thanks to Chris for sorting me out, though, looking forward to getting my hands on it now (if the brother doesn't run off with it!)

    Just FYI, one thing I didn't realise is that you can't pay over the phone for collection, only for items for delivery. Not a complaint or anything, just posting this info in case it's relevant to anyone else.

    Got my Airstream set up last night and I have to say I love it already! I was pleasantly surprised to find I can pick up the BBC on DAB which is great. The sound is great considering it only has one speaker and music streaming and Internet radio was dead easy to set up. Fantastic gadget and lovely looking in the flesh.

    You see, it's actually worth listening to what John is saying (sometimes)! :D

    Hi Blastman,

    Tempted to buy this unit. Have a Roberts internet radio (83i Stream) in the bedroom buy want something for the TV room. Was considering the Marantz 603 + decent speakers circa. €700/800 but am tempted to buy just a small unit like the Airstream.
    Room, 4m. X 5m.

    Like the Airstream, I can pick up music off the computer and listen alot to Internet Radio (World Service and Radio 4 etc etc.)
    It the sound really good? Capable of "annoying the neighbours", on that scale?
    Cheers.

    Hi PlanetX, I got it for the bedroom and it works perfectly well in that scenario. On its own it's not going to bother the neighbours, though. It does have a nice warm sound and it's quite impressive considering it is mono. Again, this might work better in a bedroom or kitchen rather than a TV room.

    I have a set of powered speakers I plan to try out with it, there might be some neighbour-bothering happening then! :)

    No worries, John, the boys were on the case already and apparently it has been sorted. Thanks again.

    Hi Planet.

    It's a great little unit for the bedroom although the MCR603 and decent speakers would wipe the floor with the airstream but then again they are 2 very different products.

    The features of the airstream are excellent but it's the sound that really impresses and the price makes it a great little product that looks good, sounds great and performs a lot of features.

    We've sold loads and I haven't heeard any complaints yet.
