    Advice for replacement receiver

    I've been lurking around the for sale section here recently, looking for a well priced receiver. My Yamaha RX-V671 gives great sound on my small 5.1 setup in our small lounge. It has been giving some power up problems of late, and is currently sitting with Basil for some recoop time. This...

    AV Yamaha RX-V671 needing repairs

    So just to complete the story: The repair guy from Westech phoned me the day he got my amp, to say that replacing the power supply didn't fix it :(  I told him to see what he can do, if there is any other damage done (by the corner store repair hack job). After a sleepless night he phoned me...

    AV Yamaha RX-V671 needing repairs

    :) I made it sound worse than it is with the corner store. They do have an AV section and have some knowledgeable guys there. From what I understand they outsourced the repairs. Since it did power on once after I got it back, I doubt it is completely dead. Just hoping someone knows a good...

    Old speakers: need some repair hints

    Thanks for all the good advice guys.  I'll see if my dad wants to also sell his equally old NAD amp with this deal, then I'll let you know Jadedgem. Will PM when I know.

    Old speakers: need some repair hints

    Hi, my dad wants to get rid of his old speaker system.  These were top of the range in their day apparently, and I was wondering what my options are to try and salvage them.  Seems they just need a cone (if that is what it is called) and then they should be good as new.  Any tips where to get...

    Speakers for Yamaha RX-V671

    Hi I recently bought my first AV receiver (Yamaha RX-V671), and am looking for advice on what speakers to get.  My budget is around R4000. I am not sure if it will be worth to spend most of my budget now on only a 4.0 (two stereo sets) and then later get the centre and subwoofer, or...
