Hi all I have a Sonos system covering most of my house. In my office, I have a Sonos Connect feeding a Cambridge Audio Azur 651W power amp driving a pair of Monitor Audio Silver RX6. I have recently re-discovered some old FLAC files and am contemplating if it is worth upgrading part of my...

Hi all I currently have a 5.1 system in my bedroom, which is my main HT. The room is 6.5m x 4m and the bed is against the wall and slightly off to the center of the room (due to the hallway). Fronts are Klipsch floorstanders with matching center, rears are in-ceilings. I currently have some...

Hi all my first set of separates for my HT should hopefully arrive end of next week  :Whoohoo: and am now looking for cables. Both pre and power amp have XLR connections (even though not truly balanced from what I understand) - so am contemplating of getting XLR cables. My question is where? And...

Hi everyone, I am looking for some advice: I have an Apple Airport Extreme I am using as my wifi router. I am now looking for an ADSL modem to use with it. I have tried a TP Link as well as a DLink, but the Airport does not pick up either one of them. Is anyone here running an Airport Extreme...
