That 1900 looks massive.... I got the 6 month old RX-V1067 at R7500. Condition is superb, looks brand new. Jamo S608 speaker set arrived today! If I can find speaker cables then I'll hear the system this evening :)

I think you are right about the Sigma Chip being superior to the Realtec chip. I got away from player chips altogether by going media PC, but I might give a sigma player a chance in future...

Dune player looks quite nifty. Waiting to hear from anyone who has it. Mede8er has been good to me so far, but file management and network connectivity is just not always as easy and convenient as I'd like it to be. All these players seem to suffer from that delay in response from the remote...

Am I seeing this correctly, R17,000 for a pair of small speakers! Oh Lordy... [list type=decimal] standmounts Closed Windows Easy on the <40Hz dubstep/basstesters Chat up neighbours before letting it rip! prepare them for impact! haha [/list] I was thinking along these lines exactly. It only...

This community is priceless to guys starting out. Thank you everyone. I'm pretty sure my speaker set will be the Jamo S606 HCS. Yesterday I was going to take a 2nd hand Onkyo TX-SR806 at R7000 But this morning I saw that Yamaha RX-V1067 for R7500 Both look awesome. Yamaha might offer warmer...

Has anyone managed to keep a system in an apartment building without getting thrown out? We only have neighbours on one side. Should I Egg-box that entire wall? lol

- Lucky bugger, that must sound great. I'm still snooping around, but soon.. soon..

After listening a little I made some decisions: Going HT AVR. So far I am sold on the NAD 748. I see it goes well with a Mission speaker set and they sound pretty impressive to my untrained ear. Haven't listened to the JANOs. Going out to listen some more. If anyone wants to get rid of their...

Jamo speakers caught my eye. Looking at putting together AVR HT setup... Also like to know what you drive those with?

Something to look out for (apparently) when looking at USB DACs: 24bit/192Khz > 16bit/48Khz

Let us know how those cans sound. I read that they give very good bass. I have been looking around on this Ozzy site: http://headphones.com.au/ Audio Technica and Beyerdynamic are the ones I like so far. This is the DAC/AMP that I will be starting out with: NuForce Icon HDP. My cuzz in...

I had to laugh, we posted the exact same thing with the same sources also! We are now AV twins or something.

Brilliant tips, thanks chipwelder. Ok. I have an idea. I will take my own source to Dion wired and plug it into each stereo system there for a good listen to compare them. I think after the weekend I shall return with the results!

Thank you very much for the response, I like the questions, they help me realize what I am actually looking for. Room size: 3.6m x 5.6m 5.1 or 7.2 - I am impartial on this one. Let's stretch the budget to 15k. I think the sound of Yamaha is inline with the 'warm bass' that I like. Sometimes I...

I am going to waltz onto the forum and spunge off your rich knowledge and market resuearch like a bergie! Here's my story: Moved into fancy new Century City - Cape Town apartment.  8) Got 40" LCD.  8) Got PS3  8) Got Mede8er  8) Got Ipad 2  8) Walked into Hifi Corp looking for Receiver +...
