Hi Frank These are beautifully made.  Wish I had these skills. Alastair

Hi Spurge Thanks.  Which Vivids did you/are you using?  I am starting to develop an unnatural desire to have some as my end speakers. Alastair

Hi Reactor Really, you rate the Rotel 1080 > Emotiva XPA 5 or XPA2? Alastair

Hi guys I know my question is going to bring differing opinions, rather than right or wrong answers, but that it what I am looking for to help make the decision.  I would like my next purchase to be a stereo power amp (or possibly 2 mono blocks) and would have a budget of no more than R10k.  It...

Hi Mervin Cool.  Let us know what you think once you've heard it. Alastair

+1 on htis.  Very impressed with the HK Omni 20 I bought my wife.  If money is no object though, What about the Devialet Phantom?  I was blown away by what I heard from the Phantom Gold I heard in 2 different stores streaming directly from Tidal Hifi. Alastair

Hi BillyBawb Suggestions on how to fix? Alastair

Hi Johnny yes, very tight fit.  That is why I needed you to double check the measurements.  Definite sound improvements but several changes at once has made it hard to quantify too specifically.  I moved from the receiver to the processor and power amp and the bass traps all within a week and...

Hi all  Do these speakers make my bass traps look fat?  ;D  Safely installed in their new home.  Wish I had the money to pick up those diffusers as well.  Rotten Johnny only goes for quality stuff. Alastair

Hi guys Timber has kindly offered to assist me, which Im definitely going to take him up on.  I have just bought and installed those bass traps Rotten Johnny was selling so hoefully I'm a bit closer to the desired end result.  I'll post some pics and questions once Timber has me at least asking...

Hi all Surely if the source (in my case an Oppo BDP 95) has better DAC's on the balanced outputs than on the unbalanced, it would make sense that there would be an improvement?  I'm not saying that this is definitely the case, rather asking the question in principle as it seems like this line...

Hi guys Thanks so much.  That's exactly what I thought but sleep depravation seesm to be having a very negative impact on my thinking it seems.  Embarrassed now.  Mods, please lock this thread and then banish it from the interweb forever.  ;D Alastair

Hi guys I'm not sure if it is the anticipation of a few years finally coming to fruition or the fear of seeing blue smoke come out of my recently purchased processor but I find myself completely blank of what I think is a very simple question.  See pic below: The bi-wire cables that I have...

Hi all Rudi was right.  I got hold of Timba and he confirmed thta it could be done as he had it done to a Rotel 1095 through one of the local agents.  Thanks for the assistance. Alastair

Hi all I am fortunate enough to have a dedicated theatre room (my wife allowed me to convert a lounge we didnt know what to do with).  It is however a concrete block (cement floor and slab roof) so its as bad as a room gets I think from an acoustic point of view.  I was fortunate enough to pick...

Thanks Rudi

Thanks Rudi Any ide where I can get it done now? Alastair

Hi all Has anyone done this (I have been told it is possible) or do any of you know how or where you can get it done?  I suppose alternatively I could jsut find someone who wanted to swap out. Alastair

Hi Coach (and CAD) Either way it looks like I have been passively bi-amping.  I'm going to have to study that a in a bit more detail but fear already it's going to beyond my level of understanding. Nonetheless, any more views on which split of amplification I should be going for.  Bi-amping is...
