    Polk L800 vs Monitor Audio PL300 ii

    Thanks for the suggestion! I have never listened to a set of Harbeths before. My setup in Chicago has a HoloAudio May DAC and HoloAudio Serene pre amp, which just works incredibly with that setup. But every speaker is different, and for me it's always starting with a speaker you love and then...

    Polk L800 vs Monitor Audio PL300 ii

    I wi definitely demo before I buy. Just wanted to get opinions first. If one had clear limitations/issues, that would make my hunt for a demo much easier.

    Polk L800 vs Monitor Audio PL300 ii

    My intended use is stereo only. I will have to buy a whole new setup as mine is currently in Chicago (Benchmark AHB2 driving Studio Electronic M4s) and it seems that I will be in SA for a few years now. Whilst I have the space, I would like to build a system with larger speakers. I always start...

    Polk L800 vs Monitor Audio PL300 ii

    Polk L800 vs Monitor Audio PL300 ii

    Hi everyone, I have been doing some research and I am torn between the Polk Legend L800 and the Monitor Audio PL300ii. Any inputs, recommendations or anyone that has been lucky enough to demo both?

    Biltong

    I built a little biltong dyer like the one in this video, and I can start eating within 24 hours depending on the thickness.

    Kumquats in brandy - brandy recommendations, please

    Christian Brothers Apple Brandy in the US is my all time favourite to infuse. It's cheap, has an amazing, light and sweet flavour profile and the alcohol content at 35% doesn't quite knock your breath away like a big bite into a fruit that has been soaked in 43%...

    Kumquats in brandy - brandy recommendations, please

    The only South Apple brandy that I can find that isn't too is expensive is Paul Cluver at R250 a bottle.

    Kumquats in brandy - brandy recommendations, please

    Olaf Berg, Richelieu and the likes are spesifically made to be drunk with Coke. I would strongly suggest considering an apple brandy.
