**WES stock some of the best NiCads available (Sanyo). CDS cells are 
also available from a number of sources in Australia. The EU does some 
weird shit, like insisting on insane protection systems on relatively 
low powered amplifier speaker terminals. For large amps, it makes some 
sense, though I am unaware of anyone who has been killed by contacting 
speaker terminations. I suppose it could happen with a 1,000 Watt @ 8 
Ohm amplifier and a person with a weak heart and/or a secure connection 
to both terminals across the heart. Oh, and with the amplifier being 
driven by low frequency sine waves. Music is unlikely to cut it.
