Personally I'd go the Sonos route - I have a Sonos Connect in the dining room connected to my ADM9s, (which sounds utterly fabulous by the way), and this room leads into the kitchen which has 2xPlay:1s in stereo....they sound amazing for the size and also synch perfectly with the Connect in the...

Thanks lads, hmmm yes now I think I remember reading a review of it and seeing that SACDs only work over coaxial, so maybe the player can detect there's no coax lead attached. I'll try it with a coaxial lead. As for toggling the remote, nothing appears to work....looking at the manual, it...

Hello all, I recently bought a Sony DVP-NS900V SACD player to use as a transport, having sold my Audiolab 8200CDQ (I have a pair of AVI ADM9s, so the CDQ was effectively being used as a transport, so I thought I'd free up done cash and get something else). The Sony sounds great spinning CDs...

I couldn't comment on the Bose or the Panasonic, but I bought the Geneva Soundlab XS after reading Ken Kessler saying how surprsied he was that such a sound could come out of a small unit - I'd been looking for a travel clock-radio type thing for a while, so took the plunge and ordered one...

Thanks for your replies, all. Wild, impulsive loon that I am, I have taken the plunge and have bought a pair of minters - white ADM9Ts, to be precise. They arrive tomorrow and I'm pretty excited !

Thanks JD for the tip re the picture, and thanks Frog for your insight into my current setup vs the ADMs, you could hardly be better placed ! I do love the sound at the moment, although the bass can be a little boomy, and things start to distort at medium to high levels, so I have a feeling I...

Thanks lads, in fact I looked at AVI's website earlier and I think the dimensions I gave are actually for the DM5s (and I got the width/depth the wrong way 'round) - just had another look and can't see dimensions for the ADM9s, will look a bit harder !

Hmmph what a surprise, the picture didn't post...any ideas of how to get it on here ? I right-clicked and selected "capture image", it all looked fine before I saved the post ?

Good afternoon all, At the risk of igniting World War III, I have a question or two about AVI's ADM9RS speakers, We moved house last year and my hi-fi system is safely installed and sounding pretty fine, much to my pleasure. It comprises an Audiolab 8200CDQ, Sonos Connect, Project Elemental...

Hi Steve, I have just bought one too, and last night started copying over my music files to it - it said it would take about 6 hours, so I'm about to go and check progress....thing is, there are about 11,000 tracks, and progress seemed pretty slow ! As for ripping your CDs, I think the best...

Hear hear Pauln.....the voice of reason speaks !

Thanks Dan, Interesting stuff, I love the thought that it's possible to get a decent sound out of £100 speakers (in fact I've just done a quick search and found them for £70 at Audio Affair !), I seem to always be of the opinion that you need to spend a good couple of hundred to find anything...

Thanks bigboss, I had a quick listen to the Play5 and Play3 in my local Richer Sounds a while back (they had them hooked up next to each other) and they did sound pretty good, althoygh it was in a busy showroom with a fair bit of extra background noise, so I'd need to have a listen in their demo...

Good morning all, and a very happy Sunday to you too. I was wondering what sort of opinions/advice people may have regarding a Sonos-based solution for my kitchen/dining room.... I currently have a Sonos ZP90 hooked up to an 8200CDQ in my main system in the living room, and love the ease of...
