Wow!! Hard drive carnage!!  :giggle:

Is there any way you can get the amp to JHB? Nilam 011 789 8578 really knows his stuff when it comes to Rotel amps, he's based in Randburg. He recently serviced my Rotel RB-985 and sounds brilliant after working his magic. His service is exceptional and is very reasonably priced as well.

A really enjoyable read, thank you for sharing the start of your journey with us! I say start, because you've just jumped into a rabbit hole that's almost impossible to get out of. You've just bought the rest of a full set, next is a 4K HDR AVR, multi channel power amp, multiple subwoofer...

diyaudio was in the process of building a really decent sub amp. I'm not sure if he completed it though. https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,80188.30.html

I'm running an Infinisolar 5KW inverter and I can't hear any difference when it's in bypass mode or inverting mode. Also no difference in the transformer hum from the power amps.

Yup, most definitely, and I doubt it'll ever be replaced, only upgraded. Mine is very similar in spec to msch997 PC. i5, 16GB ram, Blu-Ray drive, 250GB SSD boot drive, 1TB data drive and AMD RX 470 GPU. It plays pretty much every audio/video format imaginable from the PC beep to 4K UHD HDR with...

Nice!!  :2thumbs: Once you've had a good listen to them, let us know what you think of them. A more detailed comparison to the Klipschs would be cool. Enjoy!  :groovy:

Ah, just checked the specs of the Yamaha A-S501, it's definitely a powerhouse so it should drive the FS-120s nicely.  :thumbs:

For sure!! And as Trompie67 said, you'll need to take the grills off if you crank them up. They do sound very different from your Klipschs, much warmer and the highs will be far less pronounced. They do have gobs of bass and the mids are sublime. Pair them with a decent power amp and they're...

Yup, can also vouch for Home Cinema King, excellent service and quality demo rooms. Morne goes out of his way to assist.

:giggle: Yup! My wife isn't too chuffed (excuse the pun) with my two 150L 15s.. For me, I think a slot port will look better in an 83L box. A large diameter round port will detract too much from the driver in a box that size. Theoretically, a round port is better than a slot port, but in...

If you can, build a bigger box. From the builds I've done, 15 inchers seem to be happiest at around 120-180L. The bigger boxes also allow more air to be compressed, so they tend to behave similarly to sealed boxes until you approach the tuning frequency of the port. A bigger box allows you to...

;D Only a pleasure to help. I found this pump curve for a .45KW pump. Most pool pumps are very similar in spec, so I doubt yours will deviate far from this. https://ecodepot.co.za/products/speck-pumps-badu-porpoise-10-swimming-pool-pump-0-45kw-220v You'll see at 5m head it can deliver around...

The pump should be fine for 3m head + dynamic head for the pipe diameter. Use 50mm pipe for the inlet and outlet if possible, the larger the diameter, the smaller the dynamic head. Most pool pumps have a head of around 15m, (approx 1.5 bar pressure) they're high volume, low pressure pumps. In...

Nice!  :thumbs: I fully agree with you, soundbars have their place in a room with very limited space, otherwise they just can't compared to a proper separates system. Look forward to your full review on them.

:ROFLMAO:

It might be worth asking the seller on AliExpress if they'll use Buffalo. I've bought speaker drivers off AliExpress a couple of times in the past but because of the magnets, SAPO wouldn't accept them and the seller used Buffalo to ship them to SA. Other times I've asked sellers on Ali to use...

:giggle: It was a toss up between Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli for the last entry. I chose Vanilla Ice because he was just so over the top ridiculous..

Haven't had issues with Banggood delivering items. They use Buffalo logistics to deliver goods. Every item I've bought off Banggood has arrived without issue. I'd say I've bought about 20 items off Bangood. https://www.buffaloex.com/index_en.html AliExpress on the other hand, (not their fault...
