The conversion worked very well. The response of the speaker is good, including directivity. I still cannot believe how powerful these small speakers are. With the 250W amp for LF and dual high-Xmax woofers they pump out clean 30Hz easily and go even lower. I did not expect that. I am still...

Here is an update for those who remember this one - The old speakers are still alive or rather reincarnated - converted into 3-way DSP Hypex-based actives with dual woofers (Dayton Epique 150E), SB Acoustics midrange and and SB Acoustic waveguided tweeters. The amps are Hypex FA 253. This was...

Prince of Zamunda had a nice reel to reel. Or was it his servant?

Hi, Jax! Looooong time no see! How are you doing?! That is a great job and very budget efficient! You must be enjoying the new set up!

Spent abt 8 hours yesterday doing the final installation, set up and user training. Everything worked fine, the design of the system proved correct, the builders intalled everything correctly and the owner is now enjoying multiroom audio, surround sound AV and the new home in general. thank you...

thank you, BB. I also went to see it in a shop and it was fine. Inspected all the installed cabling today and all looks good. Hope to do the final set up just before Christmas, after all the built in shelf units, speakers and tv are installed. I decided to switch to the CP version of the speakers.

BB, sounds good. I'll probably go with it on your recommendation. John Lewis site only mentions freesat HD, not freeview HD, but I hope it is just an omission, it does have freeview HD, right? Does it have a separate connection box or not?

Update here: Sub and receiver arrived. Design of the cabinets complete and everything ordered. I will be checkign the network, power and speaker cabling on site later this week. The only things remaining to buy are the bluray player, apple TV, the network switch and some basic cables which I...

there is still some design work remaining (built in cabinets that will house the electronics and the sub) and I need to meet the builder and point at the ceiling to show where to put the speakers and The owner also asked me to check if the builder installed all the cables correctly. Their...

Check out Monitor Audio WS100

Thank you, BB. After a short research I was leaning to the very Monitor Audio 200 series myself! I think I iwll settle on CT280 for L, R and C and CT 265 for the rear pair. Zone 2 kitchen music will be also CT280. I see the new slim Marantz 1607 does the same in terms of zones as the SR6010...

What I don't understand is why so many in ceiling speakers do not have enclosures. How is it ensured that they work properly and the sound does not leak to the other side of the ceiling?

Thanks! OP now edited to include the query.

Oh, it is time to book this season's trip already! Had great trips each of hte previous seasons, some new places (Valmorel, Pragelato). How's your back? Are you back on the slopes?
