    Floor-standing speakers with a R140k budget?

    Those 804D2's I just advertised fit the bill perfectly. I cannot see the 703 S3's beating them and they are almost half the price of the 70's and have beautiful plinths. The 804D4s would set you back R341,990 https://www.avforums.co.za/threads/b-w-804d2-sound-structure-plinths.103063/

    Emigration dilema

    My 2c. Sell everything and start over once you've arrived. Almost all countries have active classifieds so you can either buy 2nd hand or use the money from your stuff to buy new.

    Soundbars

    I heard a Sonos ARC. I was underwhelmed. I have a LG SN11RG soundbar (soundbar, sub and 2 rear speakers) which I picked up for far less than the Sonos sells for. Never felt the need to go back to an AVR. Not quite as good as an AVR for Atmos, but suites my needs fine. I don't think any...

    Working from Home and Near Field Listening

    Nice setup. If ever I had to be reduced to just one budget amp, it would be the NAD 3020. No question

    Please suggest a good mic for making YouTube Videos

    it is educational. Just in our neigbourhood we have people making a noise with motorbikes regularly. Was hoping to avoid that. But if its no biggie then I'll try the lapel type to start with

    Please suggest a good mic for making YouTube Videos

    Tried a Boya lapel clip on mic. Picks up too much ambient noise. I need something that will ignore room and ambient noise. That mic is very good is wired and great for when the mic is 2-3m away. But I tried it about 70cm away and it still picks up too much ambient noise

    Please suggest a good mic for making YouTube Videos

    Thanks again everyone For now my budget is around R2k. Not much I know. I need to be able to connect it to my smartphone via 3,5mm jack for now. It must also be able to cut our ambient noise because unfortunately I anticipate having a lot of loud drive-bys Self-noise on the LAV's I've...

    Very nice setup. Thanks for the pic. Helpful to see the whole layout. Sill working through mic options and will need to figure out where to set up before deciding on mic

    Please suggest a good mic for making YouTube Videos

    Thanks Dallas. Great video by the way. The mic I use must be able to cope with ambient noise. I don't have the quietest of rooms and Randfontein should be called VROOMfontein because of all the Metal Monster Cowboys out here (no disrespect to your forum name :giggle:). So I guess it was good...

    I missed the Samson g track pro mic set sold recently because I was still checking it out when it was sold (too slow on the draw). I see that they are now half price on Takealot. https://www.takealot.com/samson-g-track-pro-usb-microphone-with-built-in-audio-interface-/PLID51942608 Any other...

    How to ship to USA?

    Thanks. First quote in is already very high. I'm happy to split courier costs though prices are quite shocking

    How to ship to USA?

    Please direct me to a place if there is already an answer on the forum. I need to get prices for shipping two items to the USA - an amp and a CD player Need a safe, reliable company. That is first priority. Secondly prices need to be reasonable. All good advice appreciated

    Bentley acoustics advertisement

    Great job Morne.  Moving it to the next level. One comment if I may, the shots moving over the speakers are too quick.  Personally I would have liked to see each pictures displayed a little bit longer.  there's a lot of good stuff to look at in that video, Well done  :clap:

    I've also been looking at this speaker.  Will be interesting to see what you think of it if you take the plunge

    Yamaha Rx-a1060 and mission sx2 worth?

    I always scour the classifieds section to determine guideline prices.  They are usually quite accurate.  But you'll need to commit to a price for your ad before mods arrive

    Nuprime IDA16 Burn In - what changes?

    Just got in a brand new Nuprime IDA16 integrated amp. All reviews suggest a 200 hour burn in period. Who has one from new and what changes did you hear during/after the recommended burn in period?

    What age AVR had these?

    I think around 2013 is correct.  To get dedicated processors for R4k may be a stretch.  Else get a decent AVR with preouts - maybe that is what you meant -------------------------------------- Not to hijack your thread but I have a Rotel RSP-1572 for R7k that I haven't advertised yet.  But...

    Why are there so many sales posts with no images?

    +1. Even though I am often guilty myself.  It does take a bit of time to advertise properly: Clean equipment Take photos from all angles Edit & compress Upload to Imgure Post to forum That's just the photo bit.  So I may advertise an item and only get through that process later.  There are...
