    Subaru

    Just buy a brand new RAV4 OR Honda CRV and call it quits. Not the latest tech but rock solid. Toyota and Honda are the most reliable jap brands right now regardless of surveys which look at warranty claims during motorplan period rather than long term reliability. You could go Korean and say its...

    Any way to turn off dsp for front AVR preouts only?

    Thank you KenMasters, Yes, i am referring to preouts at the back, the analogue ones that have rca terminations. Pure direct is still enabling the sub which is dissapointing. I am inclined in thinking since subs are firing that <80hz is still routed the subs. Its a real world situation where i...

    Anyone bought from A1Sound in JHB before.

    Check the link i added above from the avforums.com. The seem to rave about these speakers for HT duty. Some seasoned members too. Thought i would give it a shot. My room is roughly 6m x 8.5m, so not very large but bigger than the norm for dedicated theater i think. Still havent discounted the...

    Anyone bought from A1Sound in JHB before.

    I was looking at their Behringer B215XL passive speakers that they have for LCR duties in the home theater. They are R2540.00 each at A1 Sound which is close to half the price they are everywhere else. Normally when things seem too good to be true, they usually are. Maybe they are on sale...

    Okay, so I went to the dealer yesterday and met with the Owner of the dealer; the previous owner of the car together with the insurance investigator. The car was reported "stolen" in November 2016, but the SAPS only circulated this on the system in February 2017. That's the first mess up...

    Emotiva

    Emotiva is dead! At least here in SA. Emotiva in the US is budget yet high performance. Unless you can get emotiva here in SA now secondhand, you bang for your buck is better off with Rotel. If you are not a brand snob, your bang for your buck is even better of with crown xls..... just saying.....
