    Help me find new loudspeakers

    Heard the PERCA and Kaya combo at e-piphany. The review is spot on. The noise floor on the amp is incredibly low, match that with the Tambaqui DAC that extracts lots of detail and the result is amazing insight into the recording...

    A Bright Shining Lie… Why ignoring an inconvenient truth is stifling system performance.

    This one is third on my favourites playlist Allan. I've been on a bit of new music discovery drive of late. Somer other fantastic tracks of new music that I have encountered and really enjoy include (all on Tidal): Kari Bremnes is a Norwegian folk and jazz artist. This is such a haunting song...

    Middle to Top range bookshelf owners

    Looks like your price range R100k to R200k (new prices at least). 805D4 is R200k, Olympica Nova is R135k, Platinum 100 3G is R100k. Also add to your list the Vivid Audio Kaya S12 - these are just north of R100k. KEF Reference 1 META as well.

    Proper surround sound is fantastic - it takes some time and patience to set up optimally. Enjoy your system.

    You can manually boost the surround left and right. They are currently -1 and -2 db's. If you up those values to +3 for both as example, the volume of the surrounds will increase. That said, music is mastered in stereo. Your Harmon Kardon AVR does not have Dolby Suround...

    Sounds like your AVR settings are not correct: 1) If playing music - are your upmixing the stereo signal i.e. AVR is set to dolby surround? 2) How did you calibrate the channel volumes? Which AVR are you using?

    Just when I thought I had seen everything...

    Here is mine (SR301). Proudly sitting next to my Mola Mola setup. It does Dolby 5.1 and the built in subwoofer can rattle your fillings if you push the volume all the way up to max. I got it about 8 years ago because my Samsung TV's speakers were so poor - the Yamaha is infinitely better and...

    Stand alone streamers

    If I read your statement correctly, it looks like you are thus using the Shield for streaming as well as digital to analogue conversion? In order to do this, it would mean that you use RCA-outs from the Shield to RCA-ins on the Denon. Can you confirm this? If this is the case, a dedicated...
