A smile played across Sylvie's lips as she said, "You know, Eli, as we were talking about these qualities, I couldn't help but think about Jeremy."

Eli let out an amused laugh, "That's funny, Sylvie. Although I've just mentioned Jeremy, all the time we were talking, I was thinking about Giles!"

Curiosity filled Sylvie's voice, "Really? In what way?"

Eli explained, "Well, Giles has all these qualities we've been talking about. He's resourceful, adaptable, adventurous, and thinks creatively to find solutions and seize opportunities. He's self-sufficient, takes on challenges, and shares his thoughts and experiences gradually, maintaining an air of mystery."

Sylvie nodded in agreement, "That's exactly how I feel about Jeremy! He's also innovative, creative in problem-solving, and he's flexible in his thoughts and actions. He's also strategically silent at times, which keeps me intrigued," she laughed delightedly.

A warm smile curved Eli's lips, "And that's probably why Jeremy and Giles are such good friends. They share these qualities we value so highly, and they understand each other so well. Giles' life is a delicate balance between the ordinary and the remarkable. He deftly manoeuvres through complicated trade agreements, the whispered conversations of rival importers, and the mystery-filled world of covert connections," she sighed.

"Yes, you're absolutely right, Eli," Sylvie agreed. "It's wonderful to realise that we've chosen men who not only attract us but also have a deep bond with each other. Jeremy has shared tales of their adventures together. They are more than just friends—they are comrades, true brothers-in-arms, each contributing their unique skills and experiences."

Laughing lightly, Eli exclaimed, "Yes, it's like we've hit the jackpot, Sylvie, with our two princes!"

A grin spread across Sylvie's face as she raised an empty champagne flute, "Indeed, Eli. Here's to Jeremy and Giles, princes among men, and to us!"

Thanks, David. I was concerned that you had not been posting your usual likes. I hope that you had a great holiday.

Thank you all the information, confirming my doubts, and finally the engineering logic that applies !  I'm sure I'll be happy with the devices when they finally arrive. When all said and done, on-line purchasing won the day (based on many reviews and comparisons) because the prices were about half of that in the local physical shops. If I detect a change after some time I'll let you all know !

As per my previous post, I asked the question. It seems this is a known thing as other posts have indicated. It takes a while for the suspension of the speakers to settle in; also as note, it also takes a while for the listener to get used to the sound of the new speakers. This also applies to high quality headphones and possibly ear buds allegedly, but me being a cynic it might just be sales speak!
If you like the sound what does it matter? Years back when I was really 'into' HiFi shops would have a listening room, but I considered this unrealistic as it was filled with many speakers not at all like a home environment.
Just my thoughts.
Cheers

I'm very much 'old school' with my audio kit.
I'm still using a Pioneer 6CD stack system bought in 1988. I added surround sound speakers and have plumbed my TV through them as well. It never gets played over 1/3rd of it's volume capability as I reckon it would blow the double glazed windows out of my wee bungalow. Headphone wise I am super happy with my Bose noise-cancelling ones which provide a superb sound
