Back in the noughties, I had a Yamaha DSP-E800 so that I could have a dedicated 2-channel amp for music and the Yamaha did the surround processing. I no longer have it as I stopped using a 5.1 set-up due to room size .....life getting in the way etc I am happy enough with my current set-up...

Thanks for that. I have always been a fan of those Dynaudios....I remember reading reviews of them when they came out and wanting a pair. How are they on placement? Are they ok up against a wall? Also always liked the original Quad 11Ls as well as 21Ls......Wonder'd if anyone had experience of...

Thanks for the replies.... Due to the size of the room, I need something that is a litle smaller and that arent relient on being in a bit of free air....and can sit against a wall more happily than something with a rear port. My budget is £3-400. Wondering if getting a set of B&W685s or...

Hi, I'd like to be able to transfer audio wirelessly from my PC to my hifi. I would just use itunes and airplayer.....possibly hooked up to an apple tv. HOWEVER......I would also like to be able to play spotify through the system, which I dont think i can with airplay....maybe a little radio...

Hi, HELP.....my cd player has started to make a noise when it spins up.....sort of like a tisk...tisk..tisk.tisk noise when you place a disk into it. I'd not used it for a while and so it came as something of a surprise when it happened for the 1st time. Any idea what might be causing this...

thanks to you both..... turning vol down doesn't make a difference. I used to get a horrible sound from my old CA A1 amp when i turned it off....which would be stopped by muting prior to turning off.....but the rotel doesnt have a mute feature.....lovely sounding amp tho

Hi, I bought a Rotel RA 931 on ebay, which when I got it home and hooked it up to my main system worked fine......gave a very dull thump when I turned the power off.....but that was it. I have now hooked it up to my bedroom system and now the speakers pop when I turn the power on.....as...

Hi, I am in the process of putting together a 2nd hand stereo for a mate for christmas, sourcing stuff from ebay / freecycle etc. I've just bought a lovely early 90's Rotel RA-931 amp and wonder if anyone on here could suggest a pair of standmount speakers that I could get on ebay that...

Hi, Having finally fixed my left main speaker.......the main drive unit was fecked, so I was using a spare Q8 rear sat on top......I had hoped that the soundstage.....now that both drive units were at the same level.....would simply snap into place, but to no avail. I have moved the speakers...
