We were introduced to these speakers in the Air Music / Stereo-Direct demo room at the recent Audio Expo in Cape Town They were very well received and a comprehensive explanation was given by Stefan Botes about the construction philosophy and materials used, and the standard of attention to...

Best have a word with someone who has made a similar unit Suggest Shonver is a good example Pwatts is a scientist and speaks an advanced language, but a really nice guy all the same Copy in DeonC I tend to agree that a larger enclosure will enhance the overall results

Looks like a Jules Verne story AI cannot or will not be held back. What we may wish and what comes to pass are seldom the same.

Without reading the book, are there any specific requirements for inputting generator power? I'm using a Kodak OG7.2 and the specs for incoming AC power are quite wide. You will need a 2-pole changeover switch to select Eskom power or generator power

Somewhere between Eric's and my suggestions will sort you out Personally I would avoid a generator, but keep one to hand in case of a month-long overcast. Your ideas in the first post are sound, just have to balance it out

The problem is Eskom's (and I am sure City of Cape Town) fixed fee. CoCT already charge R245,03 as a "Home User Charge" which they justify for maintaining the infrastructure. This applies whether or not you use any electricity. Two people I know, in Hout Bay and in Montagu have been off-grid...

Friend had a B&W sub where the amp failed. Homemation quoted R28k to fix. It only cost R9k to begin with He imported this unit from TEMU for R800. I got him a 12 volt 30 amp switched mode PSU from TaL for R350 and he is very satisfied. The amp can output 150 watts RMS. He finds he uses it...

DIY is always worth it. Make sure the actual speaker unit supplied is designed to be used as a sub. Not any old 8" or 10" unit is suitable

Pros - A generator is simpler to connect. Cons - There is a running cost and fuel will always increase, and there is some maintenance Have you calculated the cost of adding a further 4 x 550 watt panels (if you have the space)? Is your hot water heater separate from the existing inverter...

The audiophile's dilemma Movie characters pondering momentous decisions are sometimes subjected to a raging debate between an imaginary angel on one shoulder and an imaginary devil on the other. Think of Larry "Pinto" Kroger deciding whether to take advantage of his passed-out-drunk date during...

Constantia and Tokai are huge suburbs and central. I agree, avoid Camps Bay, etc. You will spend hours in traffic

The new Ultra is a crap machine. Apart from the static noise (that is audible) the HDD packed up after 11 months. MC tried to tell me it had been improperly used and/or dropped and/or used too often The arguments went on for 6 weeks, then the machine was out of guarantee. Despite me showing...

R488 for 100m at TakeaLot - 2.5mm diameter and R645 for 4mm diameter Fairly flexible. PAPPA3 has decent banana plugs

A (rough) estimate of the price...? With different material slabs perhaps?

Frequency response, or the lack of our ears ability to hear above a certain frequency is a small part of listening to recorded music. The inherent better noise floor when recording using a 24-bit signal benefits the expression of the music Having listened to CD and SACD versions of recordings...
