    Will this be an upgrade or not? HELP

    Yes. Your Yamaha is rated at 80 watts into 8 ohms. The Bentley's deserve more power to be given a chance. Don't go by AVR power ratings. You'll need an amp that can do at least 120 AVR watts into 8 ohms both channels driven. You'll need to tell us the size of your room. So far I also see...

    Power Cable - which male terminations are popular

    I'm considering bringing in some power cables. But quite confused on which terminations people prefer. Options I've seen are: 1. NEMA MALE PIN The NEMA 5-15-P is normally referenced as a "3-prong grounded plug" which plugs into a standard 110 VAC wall outlet. NEMA is an acronym that stands...

    Speaker Stand Fill Material

    I do believe that sand helps with resonance and helps anchor the stands better. I will always fill my own stands. No need to buy sand when it's freely available. My first preference is to put a few small rocks or pieces of metal in before putting in the sand. Just fill all the spaces around...

    Speaker Stand Fill Material

    I made many stands and filled them. Just go to the veld. Dig up some sand with or without stones. Just no wood, grass or plant material. Lay it out in the sun to dry. Once dry I put a black bag in first, then slowly fill the center. It will need a shake and then I fill till about 95% full...

    Speakers for an Exclamé 100 in a big room

    My pick would be the GoldenEar Triton 2. Each have an active sub. R27k for what you're getting is an attractive price

    Speakers for an Exclamé 100 in a big room

    I'm tempted to suggest the speakers I have for sales, but I cannot see how you can resolve this without going a dual subwoofer route. That space is huge and usually a good sub/dual subs will at least give you the sense of bigger sound. That Exclame may need upgrading to a Predator if it's not...

    Help me start a 5kw hybrid system

    Thanks everyone this is helping a lot. I should have been a lot clearer: I need to get this system to ride out loadshedding. I will be in my current place for another 2-5 years and need a reliable stop-gap solution. I probably won't take the system with me when I do move, and may not get any...

    Help with Shipping B&W 801D's out of SA

    The buyer contacted me, and his offer was to purchase them. He offered to arrange transport. It was from his side .... so ja. Maybe let's stick to the info requested. I'd hate for this to become an 'opinion' thread.
