A move from Durban to Nelspruit which took 5 months to happen meant I only listened to my new B&W 805 D4's for one week prior to packing them up. Finally got them in place with my Hegel H190 amplifier. Stands are custom stands made by myself and weigh 33kg each when filled. Speaker cables are...

I was feeling strong and moved the speakers from 0.8 to 1.3m (rear of speaker). Problem resolved. Thanks for the input!

Moving the stands is a mission due to weight! I am going to try moving them further out into the room with bungs removed.

Speakers are 0.8 from rear wall. I am sitting 3.5m from rear wall.

My own stands which weigh 30kg filled. Prestick between speakers and stands

My Dynaudio Evoke 20 speakers are 0.8m from the rear wall but sound very boomy. The wall between the speakers is treated with a foam acoustic panel. The corners are not treated. Installing the port bungs resolves this at the expense of some bass extension. Does this suggest that I need to...

New Sonetta I and II G2 coming to SA within next two months!

E-piphany CT have my B&W 606 S3 used for sale. As new! Give Hein a call.

Thank you so much for the detailed reply!

Anyone have any first hand experience with Network switches to improve digital streaming audio quality? I know this subject is as contentious as cables and falls into the snake oil section of Audiophile beliefs.

Purchased a used Hegel H190. Very impressive amplifier with equally impressive streaming capabilities. Has a DAC, Spotify Connect and Airplay built in. Doesn’t have Tidal Connect but I found a good work around using MconnectLite App on the iPhone. It’s a UPNP/DLNA player which plays Tidal...

Thanks for clearing this up. An audio friend was interested in buying the Copeland and I told him to be cautious until the site could be verified. I suppose the market pays what the market bares! Same with the bicycle industry in SA! On a different note, the Fjallraven outdoor shop in Cape...

The Copeland CSA100 retails in the UK for £3800-00, or £800 more than a Hegel H190. The Hegel sells in South Africa for R99k new. stereo-direct.co.za are selling the Copeland for R59500-00, roughly half what it should be selling for. The same goes for the Moonriver 404 amplifier on their...

I wish they would add Tidal Connect for MacBook users. Spotify allowed you to use your Spotify iPhone app to control what is playing from your MacBook connected to external DAC. Tidal at the moment only allow Airplay to the MacBook.

E-Piphany in CT has a used pair of white 805 D3's. Audio exchange has a black pair of 805 D3's.

After finding an issue with my Primare Amp on the Input 1, the sound of my B&W 606S3 speakers was transformed. I switched to Input 2. So I decided to part x my Marantz 6007 amplifier I had sitting around against the Revels. Dealer thought I was going crazy! I got the Revels back today and they...

I think American designed speakers under the Harman group were more than likely developed with Mark Levinson products or an amplifier with lots of power. The Concerta 2 M16 gets glowing reviews but the M106 like mine seem to get conflicting reviews ranging from extremely smooth and sounding...

They sound smaller and need lots of power to make them shine! Warmer balance overall.

I have purchased a new pair of B&W 606 S3 speakers, coming from the 606 S2 Anniversary edition. I am sure others would like to know how they compare to the older model. I only have 8 hours of playback on the speakers so I am sure they will improve all round over the next few weeks. Visually...
