Have you thought about trying to listen to an old i model. The PB1i signature springs to mind. That will give you the fullness you are after.

I'm interested in active more as a potential way of saving money, rather than any audio issue, because I'm chuffed to bits with the way my system sounds. I was just thinking whether if I sold the lot and bought some active speakers I could save a bundle whilst still getting decent (and in terms...

Thanks! Can of worms truly undone! Haha!

Hi all, I haven't posted on here for a while. I just wondered what your thoughts are on active speakers. Do you think in an ideal world active speakers are better than passive solutions? Thanks

Sounds good to me.

I should clarify there are 2 cables going out of the Apple TV - optical out to the hifi (2 channel dac) and an hdmi cable to the receiver. So when I switch on the receiver, the sound is being received via HDMI. Thanks

Hi all, I would be grateful if any one more clever than me could clarify something. I have a combined AV/ hifi set up. I stream all my music using Apple TV, which has an optical out cable which runs from the Apple TV to my DAC, which then runs balanced to a preamp and power amp, and then to...

Do you have any kit atm, or buying from scratch? If buying from scratch, I'd recommend you have a listen to a few different options. If you're someone who gets itches to change things, I'd also recommend that you listen to a wider range of systems to get an idea of what they do. Generally it...

Hi robbie, I don't know if you can stretch, but I would maybe recommend you have a listen to the Monitor Audio Mass speakers.

Hi dub, No, it wouldn't be a 'waste' as such, if you don't use all its outputs. Most movie soundtracks are only designed for 5.1 anyway. It is very rare to find soundtracks mixed for more than 5.1, least not Atmos. What speakers were you thinkining of using? Regards.

Thanks alot Steve! Exactly!

In fact if anyone living round Guildford wants to have a listen feel free to pop round!!

Title says it all. I just added one of the new Primare A60s into my system which I bought from fleabay from a bloke from Italy, taking advantage of the exchange rate differences. To say that the music stounds stunning is underplaying it. Very happy. I think this is the 2 channel system I'm...

There is no hum when the dac is not connected and the preamp is connected in AV bypass mode to my Yamaha receiver.

If you want to upgrade the fronts i'd be looking at Gold series to match your centre I'd have thought.
