"Round Here" was written by Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz when he was still with his previous band The Himalayans which eventually became the Counting Crows and was included in their debut album August and Everything after in 1993. This album was pretty much on repeat on my CD player...

Rapper turned Country singer Jerry Roll. After spending 10 years in and out of jail for drug dealing and assault managed to turn his life around and was nominated for best new artist at the 2023 Grammy Awards. Powerful song this one about dealing with addiction. I've never been lonely I got...

Probably the greatest cover ever ;)

My new current favourite

I did some consulting work in the industry. For a few cents they will sell your entire pedigree including earnings. And that corporate building that you visited where security insisted that "sign in" on their system with your details, the moment that you turn around they sell all those details...

Audyssey One is a free to use callibration tool. In short, it takes your Audyssey MultEQ callibration file, imports it into REW via the API, applies the REW callibration profile (DrTool profile) and exports it again in an Audyssey callibration profile for import back into your AVR. All free of...

Arcam is in the same stable as Lexicon and JBL Synthesis. All of these brands are represented in SA by HFX. It is also confirmed on their website: https://hfxsystems.co.za/products/ At the Cape Town Hifi expo, HFX was here and they had several Arcam products on demo.

Are you very sure you are not just throwing good money after bad?

Might then be the other channels' amp modules giving issues. Not cool.

LoL. In the session we had with him he said "there is no more money in high end hifi, that is why he is now working with supercar manufacturers in Italy to design and install audio car systems as that is where the real money now is". His latest endeavour is Daniel Hertz https://danielhertz.com...

Sorry to hear that the "new" replacement T778 is also acting up. Is this one still covered under warranty? Ever considered a Marantz Cinema 40?

So the Wilson Audios and Pass Labs are gone, replaced by the AN's?

During last year's CT hifi expo, the Bentley vendor at the expo had a set of FS250 driven by an old Krell pre-amp (still the rack mounted model) and a Merdian power amp. It sounded very very good.

What would you like a review on? - sound signature - build quality - reliability It would be good if you can provide more details i.e. what equipment are you planning to use, what type of music do you listen to, how big is your room, where will the speakers be positioned etc. I have had FS150...

Some truly "interesting" flagship designs from most of the marquees. So far the "ugliest" flagship design must surely be the Hyphn from MA. And ons its heels the Sonus Faber Suprema. The first time I saw the Suprema, I was convinced SF took their inspiration from nature. When I look at the...

Considering the GWM 300 Tank is also around R800k (depending on the spec level), R1m for the LandCruiser is not far off.

Fantastic view. Is that somewhere near MosselBay?

Any repairs to a speaker under warranty will (should) be carried out by the agent. For Bentley it will be the local factory and for Klipsch it will be Homemation (who is the SA distributor). Both should carry stock of all components and if not, will have to order from abroad. I very much doubt...

Why not go for a demo? @BiZKiT is also up there in your neck of the woods and he should be able to give you can demo both Klipsch and Bentley. The other alternative is to speak to Mr Bentley himself @Dreamerm6 who is a member on this forum. He is based in Pretoria.

The reality is, the higher you progress on the sound fidelity ladder the more the system exposes poor recordings. That said, I owned a set of the same 603S2 about 10 years ago and the metal dome tweeter can be brutal. I paired my set with a NAD C320 amp and NAD C540 cd player, both on the...
