Reposting my wanted post here. Does anybody stock anything similar in SA? https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,73894.0.html

I'm quite happy with my current 3.1 kit. But very keen to get surrounds / height speakers. The only problem is that I have to go ceiling speakers (wife approves). Currently running Polk RTI A9's, A6 center and DWS micropro 3000 sub. The Polk RC80i's seamed like an obvious choice, but they...

My Integra DTR 80.3 (think its an Onkyo 5008 equivalent) suddenly stopped outputting through HDMI to TV. The ARC still works fine (if I play from TV to amp). When I try and play any device through the Integra the device screen displays "HDMI start up" and the TV just shows a big Integra logo...

One of the feet on my Polk RTI A9 broke into pieces during our last move. The feet all actually looks pretty generic. Any idea where I can source a replacement / spare? I emailed audiotronic twice, but not getting any feedback there. Pick of what new feet looks like...

Hi all, My new in ceiling speakers are arriving tomorrow. Polk RC80i. I've had a quick look at some installation videos and they all seem to just cut a hole, pull through wiring and install speaker. No reinforcement of ceiling, no installing speaker on brandering, no support. If I do this...

I'm new to DIY audio, but luckily there are some smart people on this forum. Hope to take this further than just a theoretical discussion and actually build it. See this as a bit of a challenge for now. I want to build my own power speaker / monitor. I'm thinking I would need speakers or...

After a long deliberation, I'm leaning towards going with a plasma TV. I'm looking at a 50'ish" model. Hoping to get the balance between performance and price right. It just seems that we have a very limited choice of plasma's in SA. My observations and considerations: Samsung 50E550 -> Good...

Processign pp from 11.2 to 11.4 with their new top end models. http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/onkyo-to-deliver-11-4-dts-neo-x-surround-sound-on-latest-receive/

Just an observation, but are you guys also getting the feeling that the classifieds have been slowing down over the last two years? Rate of on forum completed "deals" just feels low. I know of a couple of guys (me personally included) who just struck out completely with the forum and found...

Just wanted to say hi on this side of the forum  :clap: (different people move in different circles, even on the same forum). This weekend I saw the light and now I'm a newly converted believer in room treatments. There is probably 4-5 "problems" with my system, many of which I thought had to do...

Hi Chaps Today I seriously need to draw on the collective wisdom of this forum  :help:! I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions. I bought a Polk DSW 3000 micropro subwoofer knowing that it was not working. Don't ask me what I effectively paid for it, cause you just going to make me cry...

As per the title, is it possible to get an Audyssey replacement mic? Are they all the same? The ones I've seen sure look the same but I've read somewhere (can't remember where) that they do actually differ and you should check their model numbers.

I don't know about you guys, but my DSTV decoder sure is noisy and I suspect most of the noise is coming from the the cooling fan. It is especially noticeable when listing to music at lower levels. Of course when you get close to reference level it fades away. Anybody tried changing the fan to...

http://gizmodo.com/5905024/a-professional-recording-studio-in-an-unbelievably-tiny-room Makes me think my room is too big. Interesting to see the power conditioner on the list. Maybe its not all snake oil.

Hi Chaps, As per the title? I seriously need to upgrade my TV. My sound system has grown over the past 2 years while my TV (4-5 years old) hasn't quite kept up and is now literally being dwarfed. I'm pretty sure that by now you get larger and better quality digital photo frames.... LG's new...

Hi Chaps, I'm still relatively new at this whole sound thing, but found something interesting last light. Would appreciate your comments. I was playing around with my av receiver (settings) and and sub (setting and location) to try and correct one or two low frequency dead spots in my main...

Hi Guys, Before I blow up my amp, is the Polk Rti A5 biampable? Its a little confusing because: It has dual 5 way binding posts with a metal clip that you can remove between them; and Polk's own website doesn't say whether it is biampable or not. See the link below under tech specs. They...

Hi Guys, I have a polk CSI a4 that I'm flipping around (project straight instead of upwards). The speaker is designed to do that and its going to its more natural position (for a centre). There are 4 adhesive rubber pads on the bottom of the speaker, which is now the top. They look fugly...

I'm trying my luck here. Is there an IR code to use on a preprogrammed remote, to control DSTV? Prob not, but worth the try.

Hi All Has anyone managed to control a PS3 over HDMI using the CEC bus (Onkyo: RIHD, Sony: bravia sync, Samsung: Anynet, ect...)? My understanding is that theoretically you should be able to control the basic functions of the PS3 (power on / off, play, pause, etc). I even managed to switch on...
