Hi CAD Excuse my ignorance but what is passive bi-amping.  I have bi-amped my speakers before but I'm not clear on what passive bi-amping means. Alastair

Hi CAD I suppose that's a 4th option then, 2x5 channel amps and I then biamp the front 3 and then use the remaining 4 channels for the 4 rears.  So many options, I'm just not sure what the best one is. Alastair

Hi Coach Yes, I fear I wasn't clear in my explanation.  I definitely want to go to all 7 channels running off a power amp or several power amps, it's just the split of power amps that I am seeking advice on.  Do I go with a 7 channel power amp (I fear this is overkill on the surrounds), or do I...

Hi all I am keen to move from my current receiver (Yamaha RXV 1600) set up to a processor with 7 channels of power amplication driving my 7 speakers.  These speakers are B&W CDM 9NT floor standers and a matching B&W CDM CNT (centre speaker) with 4 little B&W M1's doing the surrround sound...

Hi All What Drifter said but with a few modifications.  I think I would have 3 Giyas up front (I'd even go with 7 if money really is not a constraint) all driven by Devialet or Oom Shalk's stuff.  And I'd have it in my front lounge where my current HT is just lots more room treatment.  And I...

Hi all Ive started with a projector upgrade and now just await affordable 3D glasses from RS4 to allow my kids to be able to watch 3D in our theatre room. March is my birthday so I am wanting to spoil myself with some bass traps and possibly ceiling treatment although I don't know enough to...

Hi guys My vote be for the silver Classe equipment (like WIndshear is currently selling) with the McIntosh stuff to my eye some of th eugliest stuff ever produced.  Interesting as the 2 brands seem to be very roughly on a par in terms of performance and cost. Alastair

Thats so weird.  I was in there visiting on the 22nd and had the exact same treatment.  I wanted to hear any of the Vivid Audio stuff and he showed me the G3s on the Devialets and then demoed the Devialet Phantom Gold as well.  A real treat.  Ive bought about 80% of the my stuff from them even...

On another note, I'm struggling to watch ShowMax so I ran a quick Speedtest and it seems I'm getting 0,31Mbps of my 10 Mbps Telkom ADSL line. >:( Alastair

Thanks Mervin That's the sort of number I thought it should be. Alastair

Hi Mervin Thanks, but I suppose what I was really asking was how much in Rands, are forum members actually paying for Tidal.  I have an email from Tidal confirming that the Premium service costs $4.99 a month and the Hifi service costs $9.99  month.  Yet when I log in and try to subscribe I am...

Hi all Just read through this whole thread.  I know I am slightly off topic (I signed up for Fibre 3 months ago and am still waiting for installation) but I was very interested by the Tidal users.  What are you guys paying in Rands for the HiFi service?  I have it in writing from Tidal that the...

Hi Kemosabe Excuse my ignorance but what do you mean by full range?  What should I be testing and how exactly? Alastair

Thanks

Hi all I am wanting to demo a multi-channel power amp this weekend but need to split the interconnects in order to biamp my front speakers.  Does anyone have a pair of interconnects like this to lend me in order to test the amp or where can I buy an inexpensive pair in order to test the power...

Hi guys I'd be interested too depending on the date.  I wouldn't even need any tea either.  ;D Alastair

Hi guys I'm surprised at the issues you mention for Tidal.  I wonder if it is area specific as it looks like both guys with issues are in CT.  I must say it worked seamlessly when I used the 30 day trial about 6 months ago.  That was on a 10Mb ADSL line but which seldom delivered more than...

Hi guys Thanks for the quick responses.  It just sounded too good to be true so I thought I must be missing something.  It seems like a no brainer to me.  At about double the price of Apple music but high res compared to Apples MP3, I'm in.  Anything else I should eb considering. Alastair

Hi all I am sure that this must have been discussed on here before but I cannot find the relevant thread.  So apologies if I'm rehashing stuff (because that never happens on here like with cables etc  ;D).  Am I correct in saying that the price of Tidal Hifi (in other words the high res option)...

Hi WolfAndy Yip.  Downloaded the app a few weeks back on my Apple TV4 and have been using ever since pretty seamlessly. Alastair
