I think the 'limiter' might be the 'Full Dynamic Range' feature in the Google Home app which only applies when using CCA's analogue out and its own DAC. I think you can only see these features when you've set up the CCA properly and assigned it to a room. The equaliser is most definitely...

Just one bump - and if no takers then fair enough, the Chromecast Audio hasn't been a thing for quite some time... (which is such a pity because it's a great little piece of kit, apart from this eq issue...)

After enjoying the sound of my trusty Chromecast Audio through my Arcam Black Box DAC for quite some time, today I was shocked/appalled to notice that in the Google Home app, when I select the Chromecast Audio, there's an equaliser - and it seems to be changing the sound BEFORE it goes into the...

Oh, and to answer the question about what's on the floor, it actually is just polished concrete. So, the cables are running from the surround system which is in a unit below the TV, along the border with the sliding windows then I just have the rear speakers below the sofa firing either side...

Thanks all, trunking it is then. Definitely need to pass the wife's 'sniff' test too!

Hi all, Just moved into a new place and now that everything is hooked up, I want to tidy up too. I've got a run of cable going to some surround sound rear speakers, but I have a concrete floor, so no carpets or wooden floorboards to hide it behind/below. So, the only way to do this is to run...

Mine aren't even the 760i model! Straight 760s, but yes, with the clip-on grilles which I discarded almost immediately. Woofer on the top, tweeter below, front-facing bass port.

Ha, my fond memory is of having a demo pair of JPW Sonatas, and while testing them I read up about these amazing new speakers from Mission. I remember the phrase "how did they shoe-horn such a huge performance from such small speakers" but I have't been able to find the article online sadly...

Ah well, I'll leave it to dry and see what happens. If no joy I'll try the epoxy glue. Thanks anyway.

Excellent reply, thank you. I just tried the paper method and it didn't work unfortunately, but before even reading this I hit on the idea of putting wood glue in the holes, which I'll leave to dry then hopefully the screws will purchase. I've contacted a couple of hifi repair places for the...

Hey, nice idea, thanks! Thing is, I have a couple of screws missing so I'd still need to identify them. But thanks for the suggestion for getting the others to fit better (and if I get replacements for the missing ones that could still work with them).

Hi all, I have a pair of venerable Mission 760 speakers which I'm trying to spruce up a bit. I've had them for 30 years - they were from the very first incarnation of this model, bought after a launch review in What Hifi back in the day. They still sound great so I'd like to keep them going if...
