my thoughts around the classifieds has always been more about playing the field within a "reasonable" budget. once you figure out what works and doesn't you can look out for that new bargain :) i just look at my experience with the Rotel RB985 and how it was a very poor match with MA gold. If i...

I wonder what kinda wattage you are going to need to power that PL 500 ? The current PL 300 is 300wpc @ 4Ohm with almost halve the drivers ,gonna be a beast to power that puppy and the impedance curve is going to be interesting with 4 x 8 inch cones. To get a power amplifier to power those...

I completely agree with Madarin around MA Gold and bright biased amplifiers like the Older Rotel's. I had a Monitor Audio GX 300 which is very similar to the PL 200 in terms of actual drivers running a Rotel RB985MK2 and the bright Rotel and bright Ribbon tweeter was a very poor combo. Very...

nooo it's all about the power requirements !!! 1.21 gigawatts of power or a handy lightning strike. Whichever is more convenient  >:D

from my conversations with the sales guys\girls @ mantech you do the order telephonically and then to the eft or can do credit card as you pickup. The are also open to shipping if you arrange it (courier) The prices are on the http://www.mantech.co.za site and you just use the search function...

I went thru this a couple of weeks ago in this thread : http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,48481.msg617808.html#msg617808 Not sure where you guys are from but I got my cable from mantech in jhb south. had to buy a 100m roll but I think it was 3.40 ex vat a meter. the non mil cable was...

Please tell me more says the fly to the spider  :EGrin:

You should pop BiZKiT a pm. He does carpentry work and the price's is decent as well.

Ok the NuPrime MCH K38 has seriously gotten my attention. Problem is im confused by the specification on the NuPrime link : http://www.nuprimeaudio.com/index.php/products/amplifiers-and-preamps/multi-channel-amps/mch-k38.html The url mentions below in description : With its quality parts...

Im not sure what duppies budget is for speakers but my monitor Audio GX300's go to 110db(SPL meter on iphone) and i feel the sound quality is still pretty good although there is some degradation. Have too mention as well im putting some pretty serious NAD amplification thru them to play at those...

My deepest condolences Judy.My thoughts are with you and your family.

The owner eventually bought a set of LS50's to directly compare :) Have to say i am really impressed with the LS50's and their size makes them perfect for my bedroom. Sorry i couldn't make the shootout. I got buried by work and life stuff.Was rather displeased about it actually. Didn't even...

I Must say i  was pleasantly surprised by the mantech RG59 cable (non mil). It had a solid copper core and a nice copper braided shield.think it was R3.40 ex vat a meter I laid my 15 and 20 meter cables in the roof and soldered my rca connectors on. I must say the cheaper gold RCA Mantech...

thanks guys for the feedback. I decided on RG59 std for the moment as it was very well priced at Mantech with some solder type RCA connections.Hope my Solder hands are steady  :). My usage scenario is i want to daisy chain 2 additional subs from the current 2 subs. The current subs are in the...

Ola Peeps I need some advice around creating 15-25meter RCA connections for subwoofers. Buying seems to be a fairly expensive endeavour so im gonna dust of my year of electrical engineering and see what i can rustle up. I have my trusty soldering iron somewhere and ill get some gold plated RCA...

Its gonna take more than a 6pack to make them gorgeous  :sh1tstirrer:

mm cant comment on the GX200's but i have the GX300's and the difference between them and the GX50's is monstrous. I went from a older gen Rotel RB985 to a newer gen NAD multi channel amp and the difference in bass control and projection was shocking. I have to also mention that the GX300's is...

I also just want to say thanks to Francois for the hospitality and opportunity to come and participate in the shoot-out. I was quite a interesting experience and the level of speaker exposure was out of this world :) The thing i have come to realise about audio is that it is all about your...

Give Bizkit on the forums a shout. he's from http://www.carpentryking.co.za and he really helped me with my custom Pasma\TV Stand job. he's a full on proper carpenter and prices are reasonable as well.

I have a set of Monitor Audio GX50  or GX300's i could bring to the gathering. A question from myside would be around testing criteria ? Do we choose 5 mutually agreed songs from a wide ganre of music ? Say Rock \ Pop \ Trance \ Jazz \ classical ? And then we pit these tracks per speaker...
