    Yamaha RXV-1067 vs RX-A810 vs RX-A820 vs Denon 2113IC

    I've been running a 1067 for about 18 months now and its a great amp. The dual HDMI out is handy especially of you running a HD PVR to get HD to a second TV. Dont get too hung up on airplay you can stream to the 1067 from a NAS etc or buy a Apple TV in which case you have airplay for video and...

    TV advice needed - any gurus out there?

    Hi Ken, Any particular brand and model you recommend? Budget wise i'd prefer to not go above R25k but dont know if the samsung es7500/8000 are a step up from the d8000 or if the sony presents a better option.. I think plasma might be an issue for me with ambient light in the room..

    Anyone else hate the Mede8er remotes?

    Setting up a home network

    If you want to stream hd content gigabit wired is the only way to go. I run a pretty decent dual band net gear n600 and a netgear wireless repeater but no ways it works for larger Mkv files, as soon as there is too much action it starts to pixalate at best and stutter/hang at worst. Dual band...
