    I use the same ones that Ben linked to, plus 16 of these type for larger rooms/budgets - http://www.thomann.de/gb/stairville_...4x1w_black.htm

    True,

    Actually thinking about it might be easier just dry hiring four off you then Dan?

    Yeah definitely, unless you are going to be using them on a regular basis dry hire is the way forward!

    I now own 8 of the ones Dan and Ben have.

    Just chop the Euro plug off and attach a UK 3-pin one (Designed by my Great-Grandad I recently found out!!)

    Also the splitters, I use the little Y-splitters you linked to Neil, but get them off ebay! I paid about £6 for 3.

    As for the cans you linked to, they are not in stock until 30/07/2010. They were the ones I originally ordered, but cancelled them as I needed some ASAP - My most recent order was here within 2 days of ordering!!

    On the subject of y splitters not ideal as they can present a live end if parted when power is on.

    please elaborate, what exactly do you mean by a "live end" and "parted"?

    You'd only have a live end as a result of a highly improbable scenario - that a second splitter further up the line is also connected to a live mains feed, and joined to the first with a female/female link cable rather than the more sane and infinitely more common male/female arrangement.

    which although not a widowmaker by itself, should not exist for obvious reasons... and some slightly less obvious ones, for example what if the two mains feeds were on different phases?
