    Quad II - Worth Looking At?

    Hi Guys I've found Quad II amps and a controller, but apparently the valves need to be replaced :thinking: Any idea of the costs of replacement valves, and if it's worth buying the amp and replacing them? Thanks! Raees

    Comments on an Upgrade

    I have a set of TSI 400s and they're great speakers. I'd go for the RTI A5s or B&W 683s or Monitor Audio RX6s. I recently got a pair of RX6s and very happy with them running off an Integra 40.3. Have a listen to those speakers and see which sound you prefer :)

    Speaker Advice

    Hi Everyone Looking for some speaker advice... I currently have an Integra 40.3 with Polk Tsi 400 fronts and considering changing them. Now I'm in a bit of a predicament; I've listened to B&W 683s and Polk RTi A5s, and to throw a spanner in the works, can possibly get a set of Sonus Faber Toy...

    Abe (Viagara) in hospital - critical

    I don't know Abe, and I don't know many of you guys here. One thing I do know is that we all share the same passion. What is certain from the number of replies is that Abe is a great guy. I sincerely hope that he pulls through. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.

    Have to brag about my new cd player ;-)

    I got R400 back I think... Was a while back.  The price was +- R5800, BUT there is a cap on the amount that you'd get back i.e. fine print.  You'll have to check the Discovery website for the cap limit. But definitely worth it!

    Have to brag about my new cd player ;-)

    I got mine from the iStore in Sandton.  It's the previous generation with the DVD ROM.  Also used my Discovery Credit Card and got some cash back too  :D

    Also got a Mac mini :) great choice. Plex or XBMC and you're set. Btw, download Perian to enable 5.1 from the SPDIF.

    KEF vs CELESTION vs Q ACOUSTICS

    If only I got my bonus this month :( Don't want to put it on my credit card... And I'd need to sell my current speakers first. *sigh*  life is tough  :P

    KEF vs CELESTION vs Q ACOUSTICS

    I've had the same experience with the Kef Q700s. told the salesman to please change the speakers. I'm no audiophile but the high frequencies were way too pronounced and I found the mids lacking. The salesman connected up a pair of B&W 683s and I was really blown away. Amazing mid range; great...

    ONKYO TX-NR808 OR YAMAHA RXV3067?

    I've had mine for 6 months, no hiccups.  On weekends, its on for +- 8 hours a day, without any issues ( TX-NR 609).  In durbs, my dad has the 606, sasme story :)  Could just be a bad batch.  I used to have a Yamaha RXV 2600; hated it and sold it at R2k less than what I paid for it 2nd hand...
