Hi all I removed one of my B&W M1 (series 1) speakers from the B&W wall mount where it serves duty as one of my surround sound speakers in a 7.1 setup. I wanted to reposition it slightly (the speaker not the whole wall mount).  The issue I have is that I cannot get the speaker back up again...

Hi all My benchmark has always been that my system must be worth 3 times the value of my car.  I am currently not achieving that but have done so before when my car was really crappy.  It's a good rule of thumb for me. Alastair

Hi all Science EXPO is on Monday night, guests who've been here 2 weeks will be gone then too.  Should be able to start putting some photo's up then. Alastair

Hi Toxxyc Yes thak you.  The project went to school yesterday in time with their deadline.  I forgot to take pics of the final product but will do so when they come back from marking and from the Science Expo.  Your amp was so easy to set up.  Actually too easy.  We built a small box around it...

Hi Mandarin +1 for the projector route.  I don't think I can ever go back to just a tv after experiencing projector.  I think you will be able to do 4K with the budget you have and there are options for rooms with ambient light.  Definitely chat to RS4 on here. Alastair

Hi all So unbelievably, the ad was up again yesterday.  I think he was situated in Sasolburg this time and he had a new name.  This obviously a serial fraudster who is just going to keep putting the ad up.  It was taken off after I reported it to OLX for fraud again but I don't seem to be...

Hi all Thanks for support.  It was a stupid decision made based on emtion at the time - kind of retail therapy.  Backfired big time but lesson learned.  At least it was just a grand.  I just wanted to make sure no one else on here got taken. Alastair

Hi guys Not surei f this is the correct place for this thread but just want to warn others before they fall into the same trap as me.  I saw an Oppo HA2 headphone amp on sale for OLX for R1000 advertised by a guy called Justin.  I've always wanted one for when I travel so I got in touch and...

I had to laugh at this bit from Godfather's post "the girls can speak about helmholtz resonance".  I keep thinking "Thank you Sheldon".  ;D Alastair

Hi Toxxyc I would absolutely love that.  Thank you so much.  Will send you a pm. Alastair

Hi Toxxyc I live off Samrand in Johannesburg. Alastair

Hmmm, doing some of this out of recycled goods could be interesting.  The Science EXPO guys are all about green and reusable. Alastair

Hi all I have no DIY experience but my teenage twin girls are keen to build a speaker and some sort of amplifiction as their Science project.  The idea being that someone could plug in a source (maybe even just a cellphone or usb) and be able to use the combinaion to play music. They both love...

Hi Optimus I bought a Rotel 1080 stereo power amp from Norman. Alastair

Hi all And I now have my 2nd power amp procured from Norman. Thanks again Norman. Alastair

Hi guys Met Norman a few weeks ago.  He works in the financial industry but buys and sells AV stuff as well as furniture (if I am not mistaken).  Hoping to get my 2nd transaction done wit him today. Alastair

Hi all Bought my power amp from him earlier this year and hopefully will have concluded my 2nd transaction with him before the weekend.  ;D Alastair

Hi all A big thanks to Timber who was kind enough to host me on Saturday and give me some pointers.  Once I've managed to run the software I will post the results and then hopefully I will start making some progress and at least be able to start asking intelligent questions. alastair

Hi Dolby That was my understanding but I am far from an expert.  I look forward to see the more learned responses. Alastair
