    4k Projector setup complete.

    Also seems to attract my attention but I suspect that's more the case of the pic making the aircon stand out rather than if you're actually sitting in the room?

    onkyo Sr608 HDMI board

    Apparently they won't sell them - they'll only fit it inhouse says OP.

    Projector or TV

    As the HT hobby generally goes, if recreating (...likely surpassing) the movies experience in your own home is your objective, then a projector is mandatory. A full-hd projector displaying a Bluray image of +100-inch coupled with a great surround sound system is an experience a tv (at current...

    Who are the MA agents in SA?

    Thanks Bullet. Homeation were very helpful and confirmed they could supply  replacement drivers for the B4's. They also provided me with the names of local dealers who I could order from, so I got quotes and have submitted them to the Couriers. If Time Freight have any integrity at all, they...

    Who are the MA agents in SA?

    Time freight express. Yes, they were grossly negligent for sure, seeing as a driver from each speaker was broken, apart from other cosmetic damage  >:( One of the drivers has a small tear in the rubber surrounding the come and the other was completely broken, cone separated from the magnet! One...

    Who are the MA agents in SA?

    Guys, I had the misfortune of having my Monitor Audio B4's bought off this forum last week, damaged in transit between JNB & CPT this past weekend.  :'( The courier would not insure them unless they were in their original packaging, and as the seller no longer had the boxes, I had no choice but...

    Heeellp! Broken key on Acer laptop keyboard

    Unless you're planning on selling your laptop, I would simply swop the hinge with that of another key on the keyboard that I never use. Then glue the broken hinge with keytop in place. That way the keyboard looks perfect again, and even tho the unused key is not in perfect working condition, it...

    multi media pc builders

    The second one Bullet & GearSlave appears to be interested in seems to be very similar to the one I have (apart from the facia, and the optical bay being shuffled to the side) so I can confirm the case is of high quality, sturdy construction. No rattles or sqeaks. It's quite a high-profile case...

    What makes a beautiful speaker? My girlfriend's view vs my own.

    :D    .....how soon can you collect?!!!  and seeing as you won't be needing all your kit anymore....I'll consider it a fair trade, thank you ;D

    As long as we don't release the goods till the money has cleared, we should be ok (apart from the wasted time of course).

    TV Plasma/LCD/LED advice

    Shonver and I appear to be the only guys here on this thread who prefer lcd/led? I'm fortunate that i'm one of those people who isn't sensitive to motion-blur. What I do however find very distracting are the plasma cells on plasma sets - I see them as a grid, quite similar to the...

    Marantz SR6006 vs Onkyo TX NR609

    Some excellent points from Naughty to consider Kenny. I assume however, that you use the receiver as an integrated device and do not employ or intend to use additional external amps, switchers, scalers, etc. If that's indeed the case, and as you've already stated the Onkyo has more than...

    Marantz SR6006 vs Onkyo TX NR609

    Yes it does, but so does the Marantz. So not much difference between the two in that respect. Kenny, sorry that we digressed somewhat from your topic. I still maintain if HT is your main focus, stick to your Onkyo. Otherwise, get a separate dedicated stereo amp in addition, but I don't believe...

    Marantz SR6006 vs Onkyo TX NR609

    Thanks for sharing your insights wrt 4K with us Ken. I must admit I know very little about 4K apart from that it's a higher res than HD. Now I know a tad more  ;) Naughty, being an early adopter myself, I tend to go for the newest tech (I have a Full HD PJ for many years as well as a 3D TV for...

    Marantz SR6006 vs Onkyo TX NR609

    Who knows??? It certainly did'nt take long for 3D to spill over from the cinemas to the home. In fact the first 3D HT projector (LG) was also ridiculously priced when it debuted about a year ago. Now just about every major brand has one on the market at almost standard HD projector prices...

    Marantz SR6006 vs Onkyo TX NR609

    True, but this is not always realistically possible. We still have to contend with analogue and SD TV sources, mundane DVD players, etc. That's where the receivers video upscaling and processing can be useful, as most displays barring the most expensive ones aren't that wonderful. But yes, if...
