    Speaker Cabinet Painting Required in Roodepoort

    My mate, Jason! Good to hear from you. Thanks but no thanks. Wow. It's not the caliber of speaker to warrant even 25% of that cost. I may end up doing it myself if need be. Well, I guess I could get a compressor and decent gun for ± R3500.00 and then I have invested in some hardware too...

    B&W PV1D still a good option?

    I sold a PV1D for R7000.00 recently and I still own 2 X PV1's doing duty in my main lounge. They are the fastest subwoofers I have owned and they replaced 4 X Yamaha NS-SW300 / Also tried a Monitor Audio Silver 12" subwoofer and a Mordaunt Short 12". PV1's are hands down the best I've enjoyed...

    Heatpumps

    I love my 30 Tubes EV, but hate that they only start to heat water around 10:00am. So I have the 2kw Geyserwise element directly connected to solar and regulate to around 50 Degrees. The most annoying part of the EV system is the water transfer pump. Noisy as heck. Wish I could find a silent...
