Hi Just wanted to ask the guys in the know a few questions: I recently bought a Yamaha ax 730, also a few years old (110w/ch), thinking it would drive my Polk's (250w) better than the Sony av receiver I was using. I connected the Yammie today to test, and it sounded waaaay crappier than the...

Hi scrarfussi. Isn't sound quality much poorer than hi-fi ? Wouldn't know where to start with PA systems anyhow.

Ha ha ha !! Yes Francios I know, but this hobby has bitten, and I'm sure you know how it goes. My budget for now is most definitely not in the "KRELL" range like in your avatar !! If the Rotel or Yammie (depending) doesn't cut it, I'm willing to spend about R15 on an amp, and R6-8 on a good woofer.

I actually bought a Yamaha amp ax 730 (110w/channel/8 0hms) yesterday for small change from Gumtree, took it home and it was dead (should have tested it, but the guy had it stored in his garage and couldn't connect it for me). Handed it in at Becca's in Somerset West this morning for a quote...

Hi Guys The area is an outdoor entertainment area (+/- 40 sq.m), but surrounded by lots of big plants. Seating position is about 4 meters from the speakers.

Thanks Francois ! Jip, was getting a bit pi@##_ed off with the snotty comments (the Mr. Know-it-all's), anyway thanks for your help. Another question if you don't mind : the Polk's will be standing about 6+ metres apart, would it be a better option to get two subs (and do they have to be of the...

Thanks for all the help guys, like I said sorry for sounding daft but my knowledge of audio is very limited. I won't even comment on the last persons post. THANKS !!

O.K. guys, ... got the message. I actually connected the Polk's to my Sony receiver last night (supposedly 90 watts/channel ??). They sounded beautiful and loud, maybe a bit too crisp and clean, so I connected one of the Sony subs as well. Sounded a bit better but I think the Sony sub is...

Only one reason .... I LIKE LOUD !!!

Hi Guys ! Need some input please. I would like to drive a set of Polk Audio RTi8's (20-250 watts @ 8ohms), and a pair of Pure Acoustics QX900's (300 watts @ 8 ohms) together. What would be the best option ? I was looking at a used Rotel 1067 receiver (100 watts/channel), and NAD C372 (150...

Thanks BillyBawb ! I've got a separate receiver that I use for TV. Mainly looking at getting louder sound from my system/amps Just been offered a set of 150 w Mirage OM 9's at a decent price. Would these be louder than the crappy Sony's ? (After the second bottle of wine the volume usually gets...

Hi jvr Sorry didn't see your reply, was busy typing. I like my music loud, so the speakers will be standing outside at my entertainment area. (probably two sets next to each other)

Hi jvr ! Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to get louder sound by having 4x speakers (floor standers). Was reading a bit online, seems that I'm wasting my time. What would be the best (and fairly budget friendly) way be to have 4x floor standers playing together (all rated at 185 w rms) ...

Hi All !! Don't want to sound DAFT, but have to ask anyway. I only use my Sony 6.2 receiver with 2x floor standers, and 2x subs connected. (specs below). Is it possible (and worthwhile) to connect another set of main speakers (floor standers) ? Stereo mode output (rated) (6 ohm, 1 kHz, THD 1%)...
