A Rotel RMB1075 will already give you a marked improvement.  But I'd go for a RMB1095 which sell around R18000-22000, and you will never need to upgrade again on those speakers

Isn't the SR series better than the NR series?

I'm old school.  I know the endless music at hand, convenience, etc.  But something within me detests paying fees every month and never really owning anything.  But of course if CDs are on their way out, it won't be possible to get new music on CD, especially second hand CDs. If I really want...

It appears to be illegal.  That puts it in the category of immoral/unethical/sin.

I'm in the market for an android TV box.  I see a guy on the net selling Xiaomi TV box which includes a chip to steam channels for free.  Sounds dodgy, but he has assured me it's not illegal.  His responses to my question if it is legal: "Morning. Please see videos. Boxes are brand new! And yes...

Plenty RX-A3080's to be had at good prices

The XPR5  was driving a pair of 800Ds, HTM1D and 804Ds as rears. Just saying that is what the previous owner of the XPR5 was using. Your new speakers may leave the Rotel 1585 breathless

I see the Polk Magnifi 2 comes with a sub, and with 3 HDMI in and one out.  Those extra HDMI inputs help a lot

Thanks everyone.  It will be for my main system for movies.  Would not need to do good stereo, just good for movies and TV.  My current system is about R25-30k and it's very good.  I was hoping to downscale and save a few bucks in the process. The Sonos Arc is about the price of my current...

Doesn't this ad and the ECM records ad belong in the media section?

These are on special at Makro

Any suggestions for a good soundbar around the R10k mark. Should be allow me to connect 2 surround speakers. I'd like something that goes relatively loud and plays clears that doesn't distort (don't we all). Will be used mainly for movies and watching TV I'm new to soundbars, so out of my...

I know it will be a big schlep Judy, but perhaps if you could supply a little bit more details, then we can make informed decisions?

Sure some items are stolen items, but remotes do get damaged and lost.  I've got stuff from legitimate original owners who lost remotes after not having used an item for a while.  Then of course, they just break and get thrown away

I don't think that amp has stereo preouts.  So I don't think you can hook up a power amp to it anyways

Well worth the asking price. You wouldn't build it yourself for much less.  Plus it'd take you a good amount of time from planning to completion ... and of course you'd need some level of skill

Thanks everyone.  I just also came across this:  https://www.headphonezone.in/pages/audiophile-101-the-beginner-guide-to-headphones-earphones-hi-res-audio I am leaning to a portable setup if that is do-able? I do realise I may have to compromise on sound quality

So I've been toying with the idea of setting up a headphone rig instead of my usual amp/speaker setup.  I mainly listen at night and at lower volumes, so I'm thinking I no longer need all the power.  Plus a smaller low-fi set is good enough for watching movies and TV. The headphone rig would...

"Boasteth" = "Brags" The clever salesperson always lets the customer at least think he won the negotiations.  Shrewdness required on both sides in the informal hifi trade game .... and who doesn't love a bargain? - that person doesn't exist!

Gotta love this verse in the Bible: "Proverbs 20:14  'The customer always complains that the price is too high, but then he goes off and brags about the bargain he got' 🤣 Certainly is the truth with the way some sales & purchases go  :clap:
