Thanks for the humour guys !!  :ROFLMAO:

Yip,have to be honest, there usually is some wine or whiskey involved !! :giggle: I do have an SPL meter, good idea @Rotten Johnny. I just find it weird that on the NAD I'm currently using (130w/ch), I start out with the volume at - 25db, and then later have to go to + 10db, to have the same...

Hi All ! This has been bugging me for a while, so thought I'll ask the experts. When playing music loudly (for between 3-4 hours) I've noticed (so has friends), that the loudness seems to fade, and the amp volume needs to be turned up to achieve the same level of loudness. I've noticed this...

Thanks ! I've been falling around trying to match an amp to get the most from my recently purchased Tannoy XT8F's. (only listen to stereo). Tried different receivers (NAD, Denon, Yamaha), but haven't found anything to my liking. The Marantz I'm using now is the SR6003, which is supposed to be...

Hi All ! With my extremely limited knowledge, I would appreciate some guidance. Is it possible to use a valve pre-amp on an av receiver (for stereo listening) ? Reason I'm asking is I would like to get a warmer sound from the receiver. Thanks

Just a big thank you to Achim! Super friendly service, doesn't rush you, takes time to explain, has lots of knowledge, and what an awesome and interesting house. Super happy with my xt8f 's, not even run in and they sound superb!

entropyagent, thanks for the question, all speakers in a straight line, a meter apart. Listening distance about 5m away (listened at about 7m as well, sound definetly different/better). Yes the setup is louder, although I didn't crank it up that high).Only set this up within half an hour to...

Ok, so I eventually connected the four floor standers  together. Here is what I found: - Standing right next to one another they sound muddled, don't know how to exactly describe it, but sounds like the frequencies interfere with each  other. - When I moved them apart (all four standing about...

Thanks for the effort @Zealot !!!! Sorry I missed those.  :headbanger:

PM sent Uncle Rodney !

Thanks for all the input and suggestions !! - On the Cerwin Vega's, - I've looked at them, unfortunately no one stocks them locally, and total price imported will be in the region of 35K. - Have heard Tannoy's, can't remember the model, were great sounding. - The E.T's I've never heard, but see...

Hi All ! I need assistance again please. I bought a set of Klipsch RF62ii's about 2 months ago because I wanted a set of floor standers that could do "loud" without losing too much clarity. Unfortunately I got used to the sound of my Polk Audio Rti8's, and think they are better sounding than...

Like I mentioned, I know it was maybe a stupid question to ask, but I really wanted to know if it could work (I'm an audio lover not an audiophile), so my knowledge is very limited. So from most replies I gather that it's a daft idea. I'll still try it though- just for the joke, nothing to lose...

Thanks for all the input ! The Marantz also allows for the independent setting of the speaker size and frequency on all channels, so will give it a try, might be interesting.

Thanks Baseline !! Appreciate your input. Wanted to put them next to one another, so will give it a bash and see what it sounds like.

Hi All ! A daft question most probably, but here it goes: At the moment I only listen to stereo, and was wondering if I can connect another pair of floor standing speakers to my receiver (Marantz 7.1 receiver with 110w/ channel, all channels driven. The receiver also has a multi room...

Thanks Uncle Rodney ! Any specific digital equaliser, DSP ? Currently using my laptop running thru a DAC to the receiver, also use a NAD cd player.

Thanks Guys I actually connected my older set of Polk Rti8's last night. The Polk's don't have the harshness/brightness of the Klipsch's, but weren't nearly as clean/clear. So I would think that new speakers should resolve the problem, question is what ....? I specifically bought the Klipsch's...

Actually had an old Sansui au something that weighed a ton, but that's gone.

Thanks, I only do stereo.
