    B&W PV1D

    I'm looking for some advice. I'm fairly happy with my setup & really feel no real need to add a sub at this moment in time but someone has offered me one of those B&W PV1D subs so cheap I should think about buying it. Also It would need to integrate well with music but also give a bit more life...

    AVI ADM9...shall I make the jump?

    You could always register at the AVI forums here [LINK REMOVED BY MODS - house rules], I'm sure someone would be more than willing to let you have a listen/audition if you posted that you are interested in buying some ADM9 speakers. Some people prefer them with a sub so it maybe wise to take...

    AVI ADM9...shall I make the jump?

    The OP I think said he often visited Manchester earlier in the thread which maybe you missed, so I was suggesting a visit to someone local there.

    Spotify data gobbling problem

    I looked into the Spotify eating my data a while ago and what I found out was that, if you use a Pc or Mac with the Spotify program running, your pc basically becomes part of a bit torrent network. You upload parts of songs from your cache and download from others, this is a clever system for...

    PS4 removes CD, DLNA and MP3

    We have an Xbox here at home and my daughter uses it regular enough and I may even decide to go blow some aliens up on occasion, but tbh I really don't think I want to buy into either companies marketing and money making schemes, refuse to buy one and vote with your wallet, you will see them...

    iTunes Sound Enhancer

    Higher quality Hi-Fi equipment is more revealing, so on a poor quality recording I'm sure a little tweaking shouldn't do no harm. I have a few albums like one recorded by a band called The Amps which can IMO be improved, but as a whole I would agree that a good system needs no adjusting. So I...

    Going active ... ?

    It's a shame some of the main characters don't use their wealth of acting experience in a more positive way, or just like Eastenders it's so damn boring you just want to change channels.

    Going active ... ?

    I'm in South Wales, so my local dealer is Audio T (there is a Richer Sounds also) so when I'm ready I will be having a listen to some of the popular stuff like Brio R, Arcam A19 & Audiolab 8200A, RS3's, Kef R100 & LS50, Tannoy DC6T etc plus whatever else they may suggest - they have always been...

    speakers and amp advice - £10-20k budget for rock and dance music

    Whatever you decide maybe looking for a system that is flexible for future upgrades as well as looking for quality of sound. The way the industry is going at this moment in time is that the line is blurring between AV, Hi-Fi and so on, things will almost certainly become completely digital at...

    Best HDMI extender

    Rather than an extender you could just go for a new cable like the one on Amazon basics range, which is 25ft/ 7.6.2m long going for only £11.99. Iv'e had this cable installed now for a couple of years now with no problems or loss of picture. Maybe thinking about buying a future proof 4k ready...

    The new AVI ADM5 active loudspeakers.

    Yet another AVI thread and yet another AVI thread that says very little about the product, but still manages 5 pages mostly filled with nothing. So very dull.

    ADM40 Review

    I hadn’t changed my Hi-Fi setup for more than 15 years as I was very happy with the sound that we had. But after we moved to a property with a larger lounge, it became obvious that my old Stereo just couldn’t cut it in our open plan area. On a few posts that I'd made, a couple of forum members...
