    Retrenched, franchising an option?

    Hi guys, Thanks for the comments, they all help the cause. Rodney I have done some homework on the fast food industry as the business model is straight forward and shows some growth. I agree that a big established brand name will be the best bet in the franchise world. But as you said the big...

    Musical Subwoofer Advice Please

    Wanda. First off , my apologies as my previous post was coming more from a stereo outlook, than a single unit in HT use. Unfortunately I only heard the MX in an entry HT setup. Fine for that application, but not for mine. I specifically had a stereo application in mind to compliment the 10.6's...

    Musical Subwoofer Advice Please

    @Wanda. I use a set of 10.6 & SW 150's in my living room system. The SW's is run in stereo and the setup is used for stereo and HT with a Cambridge Audio Azur 650R. I found them pacey with decent extension and sounding musical for a ported design. Extremely good value versus DIY and respected...

    Rant & Rave - Audico Online

    Can confirm that I had a similar good experience with Audico online. When approached they went out of their way to assist, even when it meant cutting into their profit margin.

    Tunes for driving

    Some nice tunes Johnny. Attie, I'm a true Philistine. My factory CD player is a really crappy source so I use a cheap Sansa Clip+ with extended storage. I fill it with whatever is handy from my digital collection and set it on random. Deleting the offensive tracks as I go. Works great for a...

    Ear-worm song for the day

    Thanks, enjoyed that! Nice SA song there. Pity I can't find the album. The Spectres - 'Be-Bop Pop' was my local worm a while back. Had it so bad, I tracked down a copy of 'Vox Populi'.  :BWAHAHAH: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb_QpIPgmU8

    In-ear headphones up R1000

    Does it need to be an 'sports/active' set? I got the impression some feel the normal in ear sets work just as well and usually sound better vs similar priced 'sport' sets. As I'm allergic to fitness activities I can't comment, but must add that my Shure 315 over ear set do fit very securely...

    DAC or no DAC

    Hi guys. I am brand new to critical listening and know nothing really, so can only offer my very limited personal opinion/experience. I think I get the general idea of the arguments. But. The first time I heard the Vivere(a GearSlave creation) with all kinds of equipment I was blown away. Kudos...

    New Kef reference - you like???

    Looks like something LG/Samsung would make? And what is up with these flat / all most no surround designs? Can you say lean base or one heck of a folded horn...    :sh1tstirrer:

    Live Sound Quality & How do I know I'm not going to waste my money on a concert

    Have to agree on the State Theater/Pretoria and Teatro/Montecasino. Although not perfect, the State Theater had me spellbound by sound reproduction alone at times. I have a suspicion artists have a big influence on the sound as well. Once attended an open air concert(never heard really good...
