    A t claim time for any household content you may be deemed underinsured unless you told them upfront that you are insuring your 803s at R50k because their replacement value is not R50k

    The way to look at it is what is the current equivalent model and how much is it

    Chill okes, B&W and Marantz aren't going anywhere....

    The thing about premium hifi is that there is only so many buyers and you can’t keep on selling new models to the same people.

    It’s up to you what you wanna be covered for but if something happens and they have to replace, they may pay you a fraction of you are not insured at replacement value

    They are very decent. I’m also insured with them. It’s replacement value of your gear and everything in the house. I gave HFX the model numbers and they gave me what the replacement values are. I reached out to my brokwr with the valuation report and the instance adjusted my premiums accordingly

    AV Equipment & Insurance

    A few yeasts ago I had the discussion at HFX about replacement values and they asked me to seem a miss of everything I had for them to give me replacement values. I was very shocked to see how underinsured I was and I I immediately updated my cover to close the gap. This year January I had a...

    Many years ago I busted @windshear and was very inspired by his setup. Most of my current room is built around what his room was then. I even bought his epic dual firing 18 inch Stereo Integrity subwoofers. I asked @Hein of Sound Structures to build me the same stand that @windshear had for...

    Heatpumps

    You geyser element is completely switched off. You use this to heat water and you use the geyser as a storage tank. It’s so super efficient that tou will use a4td of rhe power you used from the geyser.

    The equipment has been replaced but the proximity of the strike to where I was still traumatised until today

    Equipment Isolation

    I doubt that will do much for lightning protection. In my case it hit a the house directly and moved through electric and Ethernet network cables. Everything that was in the connected to each other and was on standby was destroyed. 2 power amplifiers and subwoofers survived because on off mode...

    A bit more updates to the room. Added 2 more subs (SVS SB 13 ultra) to help kill some of the nulls in the room but space was a bit tight in the front and becoming untidy with the many speakers. Only other place I could move it he subs to is behind the false wall but that meant creating space...

    Room treatment advice

    I got 2x SVS Ultra 13 to add to this and the first test I did was to check their frequency response in the position where the Stereo Integtity subs sit. The response was exactly the same which confirms that this graph is a function of rhe location than the subs. I have put the 2 AV’s Subs...

    Why buying new in SA sucks

    Ther prices we pay today are not aligned to the value of the hifi but are a result of the very weak exchange rate. I remember B&W804D2 retailing at R49k brand new around 2011 and the current model is almost 10x now🥲

    Is the SA ship being steadied?

    I agree with you on education’s importance but John Steenhuisen only has matric and he has been eyeing the presidential post. I don’t hear noise about this. The ship will steady itself the day that us as citizens across all races are objective about issues that surround us and not be picky to...

    Is the SA ship being steadied?

    Was he black and was he placed there through affirmative action? Nope
