Symphony

Would I gain much by upgrading my Harmony to a Symphony system or wouldn't I notice anything particularly, I only really listen to cd's.

hi Phil

The Symphony has a much better sound and, with the SLE mod, kicks out a very good bass and treble. I swapped my Harmony for a Symphony, got the SLE mod fitted and the difference is amazing

Would echo what Mike says, Symphony with SLE mod is great. I have the Bass set at -2 rather than on the max setting when I had my old Symphony.

Hi and welcome Stubie

Nice to have you here.............

Thanks guys, any idea how much I'd pay for a symphony head unit? I thought your car was a Connesseur did they not come as standard with symphony Mike?

Not in the 'old' days Phil. Symphony was standard on the Connoisseur SE only.

imo look to pay up to £50/60 for one in good nick. More info on SLE here:

Just adding to the price bit: Don't get pulled into a furious bidding war on fleaBay as they are not rare (despite what the seller may say

), and be prepeared to bide your time in order to get one for a fair price.

My Symphony cost me £16 for example - so you can pick 'em up cheap.

If it comes without a code don't worry - it needs to be interrogated but expect to pay a tenner from an independant to do this for you.

I wonder when Halfrauds will shift all those Symphony demonstration models?

Funny but I did ask them that several months ago. The answer they gave was never, until they fall over, and then they'll get dumped by the branch. So it's worth getting in with your local branch

In the meantime now we have a fully fledged club I will write to their head office seeing if we can get any more out of them
