    Speaker cable for surrounds

    I'm about to move into my new house and need to start considering cabling for my surround speakers. The cable will run in conduits and I have 2 systems to do (bedroom and lounge). The runs per speaker are just under the 10m each so looking at about 40m in total. Is it worth investing in a decent...

    Think my sub died any suggestions

    My Monitor Audio GSW12 sub seems to have died. The pilot light doesn't even come on. There's a fuse box where the power cord plugs in which I've switched with the spare but still no joy. The fuse shows no signs of scorching but since it's white not glass can't really tell if it's blown, any...

    Suggestions for in ear headphones and voice recording

    Xmas is coming and my 15 going on 16 year old nephew has his sights set on some in ear headphones to use with his smartphone. Any suggestions in the R400-R500 bracket? On a different note he's pretty serious about singing and has toured Italy with the school choir and my sister is toying with...

    KEF LS 50 anyone have or heard these ? Impressions ?

    listened to them on the weekend, maybe a little unfair to judge them too harshly as I was comparing them to the MA GX100 to which they frankly couldn't hold a candle but then again they not in the same price bracket. Maybe they do better in a smaller room, I was quite underwhelmed after reading...

    KEF R vs Monitor Audio GX vs B&W CM

    The KEF R has had great reviews but can't seem it find a pair to look at never mind listen to, even world of yamaha didn't have any, they did have the LS50 which has also had great reviews, see quite a few of the UK guys are using those in 6.1 set up too

    KEF R vs Monitor Audio GX vs B&W CM

    Have to admit I love the GX looks and so does the girlfriend which always makes it easier to close the deal. Judy you think the GX100 is a better bet than the GX200 and which centre would you pair it with?

    KEF R vs Monitor Audio GX vs B&W CM

    Upgrade bug has bitten, looking to start by replacing my front 3 speakers, running a Monitor Audio GSW12 sub and mostly watch movies, the viewing area is about 5m x 5,5m but its part of an open plan area measuring 12x 5,5m. Any suggestions on the above, my preference is for book shelf speakers...

    Projector vs. led or plasma

    I admittedly know less than nothing about projectors but have been toying/ dreaming about upgrading to a larger screen this year and wondered what the pros and cons are of a projector such as the Sony vpl-hw50es for example vs. a Samsung 65es8000 or Samsung ps64e800gr. The room is all purpose...

    2 Samsung tvs in the house and remote controls

    I replaced my Sony in the bedroom with a Samsung 40es7500 and also have a 46" Samsung downstairs. I use a remote blaster so that I can change the hd pvr channels upstairs and of course every time I turn the upstairs tv on the downstairs tv goes on too, unless I use the voice command which kind...

    AirPlay - yay or nay?

    I have the Apple TV 3 and its a pretty nifty toy, the airplay mirroring is nice for the kids when they want to play their apps on the TV, downside is you cant access your music directly if stored on a NAS

    Boston Soundware XS 5.1

    I have a set in my bedroom setup and really pleased with it, the sub is quite punchy too but not sure how big your room is, in 20m2 it does a decent job

    Is This Onkyo & Polk system worth R20,000?

    I run some polk audios myself and have enjoyed them but imo subwoofers could be improved upon, not sure if others agree?

    HD Media player

    if you planning to play SD Avi either will work, for larger mkv wired is preferable, I have the previous gen WD Tv live gathering dust if you interested PM me but it does not have wifi built in and its very finicky as to which usb wireless adapters it will talk to.

    I'm just running a pair of M-1 as surrounds which fit in well aesthetically and size wise and do the job pretty well
