Thanks AGAIN guys. I really am sorry for being so bloody uninformed, you guys are really helping me out here. @Shonver: Thanks, that thread and aritcle are very interesting! I also don't mind switching with 2 remotes. I'm not THAT lazy ::) @alphabet: Once again, my lack of knowledge shining...

@Big G: Helps a LOT! Hahaha, it seems i definitely had my wires crossed  :-[ Thanks for the explanation, it now makes perfect sense to me!  :) @Shonver: Why do you say HDMI will disappear? In the next couple of years, the HDMI connections I will likely utilize: XBOX, PC, BluRay and possibly...

Thanks alphabet. I did google it initially and find similar explanations which sometimes didn't make much sense to me, but what the sales guy explained to me is that many of the new AVR's have HDMI, but can't grab audio from them. For instnace my xbox360 is currently plugged into my 23" Sammy...

Thanks guys. I'm not sure to be honest. I think I've been fed too much crap by salesmen :-( I am a complete beginner with this stuff and most of my info has been from sales people at Tafelberg etc. Is the audio return not neccessary? Should I just use S/PDIF? Sorry if this is a dumb question...

Thanks guys. @dotVIBE: Thanks, I took all your advice. I'm going to forget about the Onkyo due to the support and I told the guy I'll take the speakers. Yeah the others are the C1 and the B1's. @Stefan: I did see that one, but the lack of HDMI kills it. I want to buy something reasonably...

Can't find anything second hand, but did however find this guy: Onkyo TX-SR508 http://more.take2.co.za/moreusa-onkyo-tx-sr508-7-1-channel-home-theater-receiver-black-b003bedqqw.html I cannot find anything better for the money. Even handles HDMI input audio. Your thoughts?

Thanks for the reply! I will most definitely check out the classifieds although I have some mixed feelings on buying a used AVR. I'll have a look around and see what's out there though. I'm sure I'll be back for some more advice if I do find something  ;)

Hahaha, you are correct! Too many years with the bass control all the way up  :D I will try changing their positions as you advise and see what I can achieve. I first need to buy a decent AV receiver before I can connect the surrond speakers and going further. Do you think the Yamaha RXV467 is...

Thanks alphabet, I've only been here a couple of days and have already received more help than I could have expected! Looking like an awesome community.  ;D

Thanks for the replies  :) I must say that I spent a few hours listening to them last night and when I compared the speakers again this morning I now completely favour the T1's. Now the PW's sound very 'trebly' and harsh and the T1's do sound way more refined! I honestly think I am just so...

Thanks Stefan. I have taken them home to test before buying, but all I have to test them on is a very old amp. The 2 speakers currently connected to the amp are my fathers that he built with plywood and in each mounted a sub, mid and tweeter which he bought from a friend who works with...

Hahaha, thanks. It's not a very big room, quite small in fact, so they won't be going very loud :-)

Thanks buddy!  :)

Thanks for the reply guys! Much appreciated. I will give them a go for a week, but my problem is that I don't have a decent amp yet and will be testing them on a pretty old sansui amp which kinda blows. My problem is that I'm so used to listening to sh**ty 5.1 dvd-player bundle systems, that...

Hey Guys I am a born and raised Capetonian. I have only recently started looking into serious sound and am pretty much used to the 5.1 dvd-player combos ;-) After hearing a friends system, it has shown me that I have been listening to seriously sub-par sound all these years, and it's time to...

Hey Guys I have only very recently started looking for a decent AV system and am a complete noob. I think I may have found a good deal, but I don't know. I have an acquaintance selling a set of PSB Alpha T1's including the rear and center speakers in cherry finish for R2500. They look mint...
