Might then be the other channels' amp modules giving issues. Not cool.

LoL. In the session we had with him he said "there is no more money in high end hifi, that is why he is now working with supercar manufacturers in Italy to design and install audio car systems as that is where the real money now is". His latest endeavour is Daniel Hertz https://danielhertz.com...

Sorry to hear that the "new" replacement T778 is also acting up. Is this one still covered under warranty? Ever considered a Marantz Cinema 40?

So the Wilson Audios and Pass Labs are gone, replaced by the AN's?

During last year's CT hifi expo, the Bentley vendor at the expo had a set of FS250 driven by an old Krell pre-amp (still the rack mounted model) and a Merdian power amp. It sounded very very good.

What would you like a review on? - sound signature - build quality - reliability It would be good if you can provide more details i.e. what equipment are you planning to use, what type of music do you listen to, how big is your room, where will the speakers be positioned etc. I have had FS150...

Some truly "interesting" flagship designs from most of the marquees. So far the "ugliest" flagship design must surely be the Hyphn from MA. And ons its heels the Sonus Faber Suprema. The first time I saw the Suprema, I was convinced SF took their inspiration from nature. When I look at the...

Considering the GWM 300 Tank is also around R800k (depending on the spec level), R1m for the LandCruiser is not far off.

Fantastic view. Is that somewhere near MosselBay?

Any repairs to a speaker under warranty will (should) be carried out by the agent. For Bentley it will be the local factory and for Klipsch it will be Homemation (who is the SA distributor). Both should carry stock of all components and if not, will have to order from abroad. I very much doubt...

Why not go for a demo? @BiZKiT is also up there in your neck of the woods and he should be able to give you can demo both Klipsch and Bentley. The other alternative is to speak to Mr Bentley himself @Dreamerm6 who is a member on this forum. He is based in Pretoria.

The reality is, the higher you progress on the sound fidelity ladder the more the system exposes poor recordings. That said, I owned a set of the same 603S2 about 10 years ago and the metal dome tweeter can be brutal. I paired my set with a NAD C320 amp and NAD C540 cd player, both on the...

I'm with you on this. I will never buy a VW or Audi out of free choice. Polos are popular though, there are thousands of them on the road but they are favourited by car thieves. Toyota, Suzuki, Honda, Kia, Hyundai is where I would look. I had a 1.2 Kia Picanto for a number of years and it was a...

What about a Toyota Urban Cruiser https://www.cars.co.za/usedcars/?make_model_variant=Toyota[Urban%20Cruiser]&sort=date_d&price_range=150000-199999&P=1

I also owned a pair of the previous model (ESL988). Fantastic clarity and seamless sound - un bettered for vocals and small-scale acoustic/jazz but so unreliable. Panel arc is a common problem with the Quads which is exacerbated by high humidity. Here is a detailed step by step instruction...

@chrisc and @Jozua_2019 I'm planning on attending if the stars align. Hope that is okay?

Timba, which model Anthem are you using?

This is the address off the website. Pretoria, Midrand, Jhb - it is all the same to us Capetonians. Just drive around the block and go say hi in person.

Spikes below speakers are important if the surface is uneven, i.e. carpet. Something like the SVS Soundpath feet makes quite a difference to perceived tightness of bass - I have tried all my subs with and without them and I swear by them. For speakers you only want the cone to move, nothing...
