    Speaker build advice please

    Naand almal I am keen to build a pair of bookshelf(ish) speakers. More interested in the build than actual sound quality for this project. Just to see if I can do it. So I decided that an old set of mine would donate their drivers. I was expecting to find some sort of crossover in there (3...

    Speakers, car vs home?

    I have recently taken interest in building, my current aim was to see if I am able to do a build, more so than making them sound fantastic. Problem is that I actually have no need for more speakers, I have plenty just standing around. So once I have my need for a speaker, then I will investigate...

    Speakers, car vs home?

    Evening good people. I might get shot for this question, have been trolling the web in search for an answer, but nothing yet. Question is, is something stopping me from using a car split system (driver, crossover, tweeter) for a speaker build project? I can?t find info of people doing it, and...

    Receiver/TV component setup, help please?

    @Windshear I have a 5.1 speaker setup. Don't know how detailed you want. But apart from a router (with fibre), that is pretty much what I have @naks I think it is more of an inconvenience to route all through AVR, each time I change the source then I have to change the input on the AVR...

    Bentley Acoustics review

    Bentley Acoustics review About me (Werner Smit): Life-long sound lover. Most of my experience has been with car sound. I have heard some of the "best" that money can buy (B&W 800 series). Have burst an ear drum earlier in life, as a result I shy away from very high treble at all cost. I am a...

    Help please _ AV receiver blues and questions

    My mission is not really aimed at fixing the current Sony setup, it is a loaner amp which I will return. What do you guys think of the two amps I have been looking at?

    Help please _ AV receiver blues and questions

    I don't really make use of my setup with a 2 channel output, mostly 5.1 (even if the source material is not intended for it). My main gripes with the Sony is the low volume (pretty much have to give it max volume to get around 70% of where the onkyo was). Sound from the Sony is "acceptable", but...
