This person is smoking something :) There is a reason I believe that you pay for this tech in the receiver.

I personally disagree with most of those reviews,I do agree that it is a matter of preference. I have run my Arcam P38 with Monitor Audio GX Series, to me it has all the punch and engagement I need, I listen to most genres of music and cannot fault theArcam in anyway. I also don;t have time for...

Hi All, I am looking for store that I can order Smooth Jazz CD's, local stores have very limited stuff, I am looking for the likes of Chuck Loeb, Lee Ritenour, Euge Groove and many more? Thanks

Hi All, What is your take on 3D? Six months ago I was all hyped up and after a few demo's, went out and got two 47 inch 3D's TV's, one for my bedroom and another in the TV room. Went ahead and bought a number of 3D Blu Ray's. But now no one seems interested to watch 3D, not even my kid's. I...

I own Monitor Audio GX Series speaker, their metal grilles are really ugly (who cares as the sound is stunning :)I cannot hear a difference personally.They do however protect the driver very well.

I own a Yamaha YSP 4100, it does an excellent job of simulated surround sound, the only one that I have tested/heard that makes real attempt. Other one was a Phillips which was OKAY and then there is the likes of Samsung's and LG which didn't do it for me at all. The Yamaha doesn't like open...

I spent most of my weekend ripping my music collection into flac and doing the rest such as fanart etc. I have the 10003D connected via HDMI to my Marantz, sound is good but something is missing when compared to playing my UD5005 through the Marantz, not sure why this is the case. It just...

Not normal, I have a 42 inch LG Plasma in my sons room which is running 4 years now and has been exposed to sudden power cuts whilst I lived in Uganda and now in Lagos mainly due to the fact that when we are away he forgets to switch off the power on the wall, so far it still works likes a...

Hi, I am sure many forum members here have high gloss finish on their speakers? What do you use for to polish them and keep them in top condition, I see Car Polish is recommended in many sites? Thanks

I fully agree here its just not the same, I learnt it the hard way :( but there is always solutions.

I would get a stereo amp, even a budget one will sound better than a AV receiver, I was thinking also the same lines when getting my Monitor Audio GX series. It sounded okay using the AVR for stereo but once connected to friends stereo amp it was night and day for me in terms of the sound. So...

I own a Arcam P38 and they match extremely well with my Monitor Audio GX series. I am going to get a A18 connecting to the P38, A18 has HT bypass feature which is great for integration to the AVR, you get the best of both world, 5.1/7.1 and isolated stereo set-up with the same set of front...

Hi All, So my Marantz UD5005 is acting up on me :(  So I have downloaded dbpoweramp and ripped about 4 CD's to FLAC, connected the Mede8er 1000XD via HDMI to my Marantz SR5006. Plays not too bad to be honest,not as good as my UD5005 but definitely good enough to my Monitor Audio GX's,  its...

Hi All, I have an extensive CD collection and its growing by the day, after much reading on the net I am deciding to go the digital route. I currently have some of my CD's ripped on Itune's in Apple Lossless on my iMac but the plan is to now get a NAS for all the music storage and then stream...

This is the best way in my opinion.

Let me explain what has happened to me, I purchased a full Monitor Audio GX Series Speakers + Arcam P38 Power Amp. When I was down in July I decided to ship them via sea. Altogether over 50kg. I used sea shipping to West Africa (Lagos), this takes sometime,however I have sent things in the past...

I have the ASW610 with a Maarantz Receiver. My settings are the same as yours but LPF for LFE on my AV receiver is set to 120HZ, not sure if this will make a difference. Speakers are set to small as suggested above, this "Subwoofer mode LFE+Main" I understand causes double bass which is not...

Have to agree, I have no issues with my Mede8er, so much so that all my fellow colleagues who work with me here in West Africa, end up getting one when they are down in SA.

Hi All, I have had Airplay for sometime on my Marantz but chose not to use it, instead I always streamed wirelessly to my Zepplin Air from my macbook pro. On the B&W Zepplin Air the sound is excellent but via my Marantz SR5006 it sounds terrible, flat, no life,no clarity, I can play with the...

Stunning mate, my dream one day when I get back home to SA
