I've got a similar problem with hum when the av receiver is turned off. Happens via high level and rca input. I'm using a power strip that switches all plugs off on it when the amp turns off. Then no hum. Not a great solution but then at least the sub does not hum when my amp is off. What I do...

Hi there Maybe connect one speaker at a time to see if it goes into protection mode. One of the speakers may be causing it.

Hi there. I have a 340r for the CA range, the  540 should be able to decode from plex. Perhaps check if the Bitstreaming is working from something like Medie Player classic BE. Im currently running mine connected to the tv via hdmi and optical out to the receiver and I do get ac3, but not dts...

Good morning Gents. Stumbled onto this sticky and thought that I'd give it a go. I don't have the most high end system but thought that this might give me an improvement with my music. Always felt like there was just that something missing when listening to music. The sub would be perfectly...

I won't be able to comment on the RB series, but I'm using the synergy, which is a step down from the Reference line. Using F2 towers with a Cambridge audio 340R, which is rated at 50W per channel, and it gets plenty loud. One thing I have noticed about the speakers is that I use plenty of toe...

Hey Skillet If you can find an SW380, I'd say go for it. I got one from Hificorp and its one of my best purchases. I've got a klipsch Synergy setup running from a Cambridge Audio receiver along with the SW380 and it sounds great. The sub is quite adept at movies and is very accurate for music...

Thanx for all the replies. wil get back to this discussion on Monday when i hav access to a pc(typin frm my fone). hav a great weekend guys!

The Wharfy really looks impressive. Its built like tank. And I had a look on the net, and Whathifi gave the model just below it, the 12 inch 5 stars. Not that I put too much weight into their reviews. I would just like to audition it in my room, to hear if its overkill. Then save some bucks so I...

I would like a sub thats reasonably accurate. I'm not expecting a completely flat curve given my budget. Thats also why I was looking at the VX10 Velo. Its only R2500. It could possibly do the job. But why settle for the 10 if I can stretch my budget and get the Wharf. Thanks for the great...

Thanks Goneten. I'm really tempted to take the Wharfedale. Will need to give it a listen. Thanks for all the advice guys.

Thats true Chip. I'm quite happy with the bass from the towers, and my room is quite small. Just need that extra oomph when watching a movie. I'll check out the JBL subs and do some modelling in Winisd.

I'll see if I can audition the B&W.

Thamks Ken. I think thats good advice. Not what I wanted to hear. The RRP of the towers is about R9500, so I'm gonna be saving for quite a while then. Managed to snag them for R4400(off the showroom floor). In that case, would I be better served by importing drivers and a plate amp, or buying...

I'd love to DIY it, but where would I get a driver from. The diy sub was my first option but then I found that there are no drivers available in SA. And I don't think Car drivers would be suitable.

Thanks for the reply. I have quite a small room 3m x 5.5m and an open plan kitchen. Got tiled floors and planning to put the sub in a corner to load it. I actually think a 10 inch would be enough. Just need some more extension on the LFE which my towers can't provide. And the 15 inch sealed...
