    Audiolab 8200CD no power - please help

    Thank you all. I'm not qualified to do these changes myself, so searching this Forum I found a person that is recomended here: Rendon Greeff. I dropped the Audiolab at his place this morning, he'll give me feedback.

    Audiolab 8200CD no power - please help

    I've just replaced the fuse (as per Baseline's instructions) to no avail. No power. Next step is to try and find a service in Cape Town, any sugestions? I would go to Yamaha in JNB , but I don't know if is best to avoid the shipping risks.

    Audiolab 8200CD no power - please help

    My unit won't turn on. I don't use it often, this morning : no power. Looking at the chances of a fuse blown up, I looked at the manual: This is what my unit looks : How do I change the fuse? I tried to pull out the slide-in carrier to no avail. Do I have to unscrew the block above? Seems...

    Monitor Audio GX100 upgrade?

    Great response Kalith: thank you. I think the 300's would be out of my league now. Your suggestion about the subs is a pretty good one; I may consider this option as a good alternative going forward.

    Monitor Audio GX100 upgrade?

    I'm very happy with my MA GX100's. They are used for Stereo listening as well as part of a Home Theatre 7.1 arrangement. I do have a subwoofer on my setup as well. I was thinking if upgrading to the Monitor Audio Gold 200 will make a big difference? This will be my first move to floor...

    Placing central speaker in front of LCD

    I actually used the Ellies one (R400) quite solid: http://www.dionwired.co.za/audio-visual/tv-accessories/mounting-brackets/ellies-large-wall-mount-bracket.html I didn't buy it from that store though.

    Placing central speaker in front of LCD

    Thanks for all the input. I will go for the LCD wall mounting. It's the easier solution to implement: the customized component is not available and besides (like naughty mentioned) it will be expensive.

    Placing central speaker in front of LCD

    Naughty: Its a plasma and it has backwards-facing ports, therefore wall mounting is not advisable.

    Placing central speaker in front of LCD

    I wonder if someone came across this problem before: I decided to upgrade my LCD to a larger size, unfortunately this model comes with a very small base (6 cm height); as a result my central speaker that used to sit in front is now covering a large chunk of the LCD. On my old setting the LCD...

    BOSE speakers

    I think I raised an interesting point, judging by the number of responses to the post I learned a lot from the different point of views. I did not join the forum to engage in provocation, or to impose my point of view on others; just to learn a bit and to share experiences. On the other hand I...

    BOSE speakers

    By the looks I hit some nerve here. I haven't certainly tested all Bose speakers, but the ones I was given a demo were pretty ordinary. A different impression I had listening to many other brands, far better in my opinion. Numbers and models don't matter, our own perception and listening taste...

    BOSE speakers

    After reading all comments, I have the impression I opened a can of worms. All the contributions are interesting and amusing; most seem to fall in between two sides: ?awful? & ?not so bad?. Personally, I haven?t been impressed by the speaker?s looks, construction, or the loud volumes they push...

    BOSE speakers

    BOSE  has stores all over and their speakers & headphones available at every Airport. However I never see them mentioned on these forums or in popular Hi-FI magazines, no discussion at all: zilch. Are they not considered like audiophile material? Are they just pure hype? Just curious, no...
