    MAGNEPAN......The Maggie Story

    Trying a pair of 3.7i's over the weekend. Not sure if the rest of my system is up to scratch, but should be interisting.

    Anyone brought in new Emotiva ?

    Here's the cost breakdown - I see it was just below R38k, but the R/$ was a lot better. The shipping company they use bill directly in ZAR and insurance is compulsory. The e-club discount has since fallen away.

    Anyone brought in new Emotiva ?

    My XMC-1 bought at $2400 (after discount, including Dirac Live) worked out just below R40k.

    First Reflection Point Distance

    I've added a flash which I hold where my head would be, and then point that towards the mirror - simple a case of moving the mirror until the light falls on the speaker (my listening room is very dark and the speakers are black, so needed to add the flash).

    Adding stereo preamp to HT setup

    Happy that it works for you, but just to add something to the mix ? I use the electronic crossover and PEQ (for room EQ) in my Processor, and for that simple reason will not soon go the separate pre-route. I am not saying there are not good (and better) options out there, but firstly it means I...

    Do you keep it on, or take it off?

    Mine is on as on my current mains it is not removable, so no choice in the matter.

    New Oppo BDT-101CI Universal Blu-ray Transport

    Had a look at this before as I alo only need a transport, but seems to be only available for custom installers, and possibly only in the USA.

    UPS solution for audio and visual systems

    Hi Leon, Reviving an old thread here :) Would like to find out if you are still happy as I am also considering adding an online UPS from Tescom (SS Pro+ 3kVA) to my AV system. This is to both protect from power surges and failures, but also to isolate from rest of the house power circuit...

    I am bored.....Let's start a Cable thread

    Yip, still got some of their interconnects  in the bag. A blueish cable which was the entry level and a greyish one which was a few steps above that. Actually use a pair of the latter to connect the dac in my study to the power amp. Probably time to update the cables...

    HTM1 Nautilus vs HTM4 Diamond (D2)

    There is actually no ports on the Nautilus HTM1. The confusion crept in with the B&W literature,  but mine definitely had no ports. Voicing should be better as you do have the Nautilus range and the HTM1 also got the kevlar midrange, but as you said, technology difference is a couple if years...

    Talk me out of it...Samsung 75" JU6400

    Why not keep the Plasma and add a projector. That way you can have the best of both worlds, i.e. really big screen for movies / sports / etc., and then normal screen for normal TV watching. I have also looked at the Samsung 75", but seems so small compared to the 106" projector screen that I am...

    All of the best Rodney. It's quite good they caught it in time. Speedy recovery after the operation.

    Sub comparison - 2 x Energy V-SW10 vs Sunfire TS-EQ10

    It is supposed to be 6dB. Attached a graph with the 2 subs in my Tritons - one L, one R and then ran together. Works out to more or less 6dB.

    Logitech Harmony Ultimate vs Elite

    Mo, Where did you order this from.  Using their older 900 but the battery is not lasting even a full music session anymore. Looking for something to replace that.

    Nautilus 804

    Sorry to hear that! After all the anticipation such a let down. Hope you get them sorted soon!

    Dealing with tinnitus

    My answer to Louis below - seems to be more general an issue than I thought! Maybe someone who have had some success can start a new topic for this? With regard to hearing issues: Honestly not sure yet. The hearing loss is simple (but expensive) with a hearing aid, but not sure if I would...
