    AVI ADM 9.1 has arrived!

    JohnDuncan:Can we all agree that "high fidelity" is not alays as much fun as "hopelessly coloured"? I agree, just like going out is more fun with beer goggles.

    Suggest speakers to audition.

    I'll throw a suggestion in for Epos. The floorstanders aren't short of bass, but they don't delve down into the bass depths the same way the PMCs do, but very fast, very detailed speakers. With a good sub in the system you won't go far wrong. For the sub I'd go for an MJ Acoustics one. Clever...

    idc:alanalan: ......You obviously have no grasp of any of this since you use completely ridiculous, ambiguous and unfounded phrases such as "...goodness knows...it must be in the millions"! Must it? Really? Science fact? I think not. You clearly have no idea what you're claiming and you're...

    Taylor74:How can HiFi become mainstream? My wife and I have music on our laptops and want good sound without ruining the living room and spending a fortune. Taylor. How many other people are out there who want good sound without ruining the living room or spending a fortune? Hifi can become...

    NaimUniti on the BBC....

    Makes perfect sense to me!We have to move towards accessible, usable well thought out products. Many manufacturers have started but we're far from there yet. I sometimes suspect there is an element in hifi fanatics whereby they don't want a nice interface or a stylish design. Some people want...

    I bet that'll be cheap!

    My amplifier went away to be modified, it was opened up and.......

    Great result idc! And a good example of how to deal with companies the right way - speaking to them politely before demanding anything can sometimes bring great results. I'm not certain that if you phoned up yelling and screaming about trading standards and/or sale of goods you'd have had quite...

    Andrew Everard: And until we address the fact that there are people on this thread who clearly have vested industry interests they're not declaring, we will never have clarity of discussion. As it says in the House Rules, "we ask manufacturers, retailers and service providers to clearly...

    NaimUniti on the BBC....

    Well am I sure? I think you would be wise to reconsider what you're saying. "33,306 users... goodness knows how many views there has been, it must be in the millions". Perhaps you should brush up on your online marketing. There is a huge difference between views and unique views. If I (and...

    Speaker Loudness

    Your speakers will sound as loud with 5 watts from the 50 watt amp as they will with 5 watts from the 65 watt amp. The only differences may be i) how far around you have to turn the volume dial and ii) whether you ever listen at the maximum power your current amp can throw out. The first one...

    Subwoofer help please

    If you don't want thunderous, window-shaking levels of output I think the MJ Acoustics are hard to beat for depth and control. If you do want it very loud the more powerful MJs are probably out of your price range.

    NaimUniti on the BBC....

    Maybe, but you've got to agree that there isn't a huge public appetite for hifi or serious home cinema. Obviously I'm talking about the public at large, not the 'enthusiasts' in this forum. The people who find the naim uniti interesting are not the people who should be advocating our goods to...

    It's true, I am actually from the bbc. I am junior assistant jumper selector for Mr Lovejoy himself. I'm hoping in a few years I can work my way up to chubby-cocktail-man's glass selector - then I really will have made it!
