A gent from Romania has bought my B&W 801D's. They have been professionally packed. However we're both having challenges shipping them out of SA. Anyone suggest a company with reasonable rates that can help? The crates are large and heavy, at around 145kg each

Question please: So I could buy a 5kw inverter and battery and connect to the grid. Later I can have the solar panels installed. In summer I could theoretically go off the grid during the day (as long as my appliances don't draw more than 5kw), and then perhaps do battery/grid combo during the...

An infinity post to destination nowhere is this one No substantial upgrade from the Denon to the Anthem Biggest difference will be from the B&W older series to the Monitor Audio Silver 300 series ------------------------ Can never go wrong with more clean power from a power amp 2 subs help...

Seeing forum members selling their gear because they're emigrating. So I'd like to ask, 'What are the reasons? What led up to the decision?" The reasons may not be a mystery, but I'd like to see the thinking that lead to the decision. This is not meant to be a gripe post. It's meant to...

I have someone interested in the B&W801D's I have up for sale. He is in Romania. How can I get the funds transferred to me without paying ridiculous exchange fees? Also I will need to build wooden crates for the speakers. What guidelines should I follow. I understand that the wooden...

Good idea Wolla

I only attended one auction. It was like the sharks were starved and chum was thrown into the water. Inflated prices paid for junk. People get into a hype before and during an auction I think. That was the only one I needed to attend to satisfy my curiosity. Will never waste time like that...

Thanks C/B. I ended up getting a lavalier microphone for R399 on takealot. It actually works very well for this price and the chord is very long, so unless I get 1 million subscribers, I don't see myself replacing it soon. but GLWYS Mods can lock please since I'm sorted

This is going down for sure. I no longer buy according the label. I have to fit the item on. I'm normally a L, but depending on the brand, I can go down to a M or up to a XL. That's why I'm hesitant to buy online. I don't trust the sizes. I think they source their stock from all over the...

Also visited a few times. Some good pre-owned gear as well. When getting spares they were always very professional. A great SA company

Thanks everyone. Looks like a scam: https://carbonite.co.za/index.php?threads/retail-website-legitimacy-check.464451/ They certainly put some effort into the scam. And the website is still up. How can one report the site so it is taken down? Prices were good but not so unbelievable since...

Eish. I paid with my debit card. I'll still try to get it back via FNB

Whatsapp chats go nowhere. They were being answered up until 30/12/2022 Shay recommended them and said he bought 2 items from them

Guy by the name of Shay recommended it

Hope this is the right section? Has anyone dealt with this company? It was recommended by someone on Carbonite: Strinova Technology I bought a laptop, paid 23/12/2022. it still hasn't arrived and their communication skills are terrible

I agree Marius Yamaha A-S3000 & Yamaha CD-S3000 + Sonor Audio Capellas for R86,500-00. Well under budget. CDP is a current model selling fro R77,500-00 With option to trade in the Denon 3700H This thread is an infinity thread. It will continue ad infinitum because there are just so many...

FYI, I'll be posting a pair of Sonor Audio Capella's For R18k soon

If you still sticking to your R140k budget, I just put up the Yamaha A-S3000 & CD-S3000 set. The CDP has a built in DAC which would help with mid-level streaming devices. that would still leave you with a very healthy budget for good speakers. Just one option to consider...

Respect for all the input here. However I feel people are missing the point that the OP has B&W 603 (V1 if I'm not mistaken). Even if he does treat the room and improve amplification, it won't change the fact that there are better speakers out there than those. He's asked for advice on...

Those 603's are pretty old though. The 703 S3 or 804D2 will be a huge improvement. With a R140k budget you could upgrade your whole system if you sell off some of your items to fund it
