Re. listening positiong, I tried virtually every nook and cranny of the room Rodney. No luck anywhere. All doors closed. Speaker phase checked.  Yep, that's precisely what's happening. Virtually no bass for music, except for the boomy bass during explosions and such in movies OK, I'll start...

Nope, it's a brand new receiver that I used, so there were no previous settings. Used it in "Pure Direct" mode. Like I said in the post, I also tested with a DAC and pre/power combo in the room.

After more than 4 years of my audio equipment packed up in storage, I've finally finished building my dedicated room. The room isn't 100% done, with only a few minor finishes to sort out and getting some carpets, couches and a proper stand for the electronics. It looks like this: So I...

What model is that Emotiva amplifier?

Whatever happened to this local brand? I remember a couple reviews done by AVSA many years ago. The only reference I can get from a google search are these links from this forum: http://www.avforums.co.za/index.php?topic=13592.0 and https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,1484.0.html...

Check out Remedytec. They have some nice promotions

I was in Cape Town for a few days this week and Rodney was gracious enough to give me an opportunity to listen to his setup. I am one those who don't care for the looks of Vivid speakers in general.  I still don't like the look, but concerns about aesthetics didn't cross my mind at all during...

It seems I may be screwed on this one. Seas is coy about selling me the surrounds. "We are not able to sell or ship parts. We used to in the past but we had to stop it for various reasons", they say. They referred me to their distributors, most of whom I can't communicate with due to the...

On this point, where can I get these little silica gel packets?

The drivers were already mounted in enclosures, which were then boxed and store away. Eish, very true. Problem is there are so many drivers and so little time available to play with them. I'll need to check that all my other drivers are still in good shape. Hopefully Seas is able to help...

I have a pair of Seas drivers (W16NX001) that have inexplicably developed crack on the surround, as can be seen on the photo. The drivers have been in storage for years now, boxed in a cupboard and I only happened to notice the cracks a few days ago. What could have caused this? I have...

When I initially read this I thought it was your own dad who did this :facepalm:

Pre-outs tend to feature only on the higher up the range models. I don't see anything technically complicated with making pre-outs a standard feature on all AVRs or integrated 2 channel amps, or is there? Why do manufacturers omit pre-outs from the very units that need them the most? I imagine...

I get the idea. So do the popular DJs, the type that release CDs and get paid big money to "perform" at gigs, good at what Naughty described?

I?ve never been the type of person to go clubs and such but at places like these there?s usually a DJ behind a booth or table with his/her equipment and headphones on, looking very busy, pressing buttons and twisting knobs etc Apart from the obvious selection of material to play based on the...

:giggle:

I almost got one myself a few weeks ago while in the US hoping to save on shipping costs due to the lighter weight, and hoping to add more channel modules at a later point. I liked the modular concept expecting that upgrades can be done fairly easily by an electronics-savvy owner. The fact that...

My view is that going the DIY route is definitely not for everyone. Certainly not if one is interested in saving money. It?s a specific kind of person who will find DIY speaker design/assembly appealing: - Has the time - Enjoys the process - Is willing to learn (i.e. studying the theory, doing...

This what I want to build. Nothing complicated. All equipment will be hidden behind closed doors, except of course for the center channel speaker. TV will sit on top. The hidden equipment will be controlled through an IR repeater kit. l made provision for running cables throughout with 65mm...

I'm in the process of doing exactly what you have in mind. It really may not be as difficult as you think. If you can use programs like Sketchup, you can design something to your exact specs, get a timber supplier to cut and prepare the wood (edging, routing for hinges, etc) for you and assemble...
