    Question is the Marantz PM6007 no longer produced ?

    Got to a point where they were discounted before they were released! Ridiculous.

    Sony/TCL Links

    I wouldn't have thought it would lead to cheaper prices, unless Sony are going to launch an assault on the market to gain market share, but I think that'd be a silly move. I'd rather they stick to quality.

    Sony Merge With TCL interesting !

    I think I might upgrade before this takes place, just in case quality suffers...

    Potential Kef speaker deal?

    If anyone trusts Alibaba, feel free. Like Temu, I'd never order anything from them. They're listing place of origin as Florida, which is untrue. Is this for a pair? A single speaker? Doesn't say. And anyway, there is no way a pair of LSX would be able to be sold to the public for £192. Even if...

    Question Put a sock in it

    In order to hear a loudspeaker as it was intentionally designed, you need to use them in that specific way. So a ported speaker should be used without port bungs if you want to hear them as they should be. They should be placed at the required distance from the rear wall to produce the correct...

    Question Put a sock in it

    Quite a few bungs don't stay in the ports due to the sheer velocity of airflow - I find placing the bung in sideways helps it stay in, and doesn't slow the airflow fully, which many do. Fully bunging a speaker that's designed to work as a ported speaker usually sucks the life out of it and...

    What beats a plasma?

    I'd definitely go and view some potentials before spending any money - plasma were excellent in many ways, especially the Pioneers and Fujitsus, and you may find some aspects of new TVs don't compare. It's all down to what you look for in a picture I guess. For some it's lifelike colours, others...

    SVS PB-3000 price drops?

    If it's not in that category, no 10% off. It's a category that helps me make sure I don't lose money when enabling a site wide discount...

    SVS PB-3000 price drops?

    Yup. Free feet as well.

    SVS PB-3000 price drops?

    All depends on the products, as I just wouldn't be able to on many clearance items. I've added the SB3000 into the promo category, which allows a 10% first time buyer discount to be used. Stock could run out at any time though, as they're low.

    Question 7 inch 45rpm singles

    You'd have to check on Discogs which may be worth anything. Personally, I don't like 7" singles, but there are people out there who collect them, over and above albums and 12" singles. Juke box fans I guess.

    SVS PB-3000 price drops?

    3000 Micro have all gone, as has SB3000 black ash, and PB3000. Only a small number of SB3000 in gloss white or black left at the distributor. The new ones have 50% more power! I thought they were the sweet spot in the range before, now they're even better!

    An annual watch for me, along with other McDonagh brothers' films - Calvary. Top marks.

    £1000 speaker choice

    Along with the Fyne F501e, try the Acoustic Energy AE120 or AE309 (a tad over £1k), or . The main thing is to try and give the Brio an easy load to drive in order to make the most of it. I'd be careful with some Q Acoustics as their impedance drops to 3ohms.
