    Does What Hi-FI Ever Post a Bad Review?!?

    You have to read between the lines. Take note of any adjectives.

    Biamp Monitor Audio BX2 with Kenwood KRF-X9090D

    If I started from scratch, and spent £15,000. I would end up with what I already have.

    Biamp Monitor Audio BX2 with Kenwood KRF-X9090D

    I have two stereo speakers per side. What I have constructed is two seperate systems, on the same rack. The sources are connected to two amplifiers. One is for quiet listening. NAD320Bee. into two B+W CT7 lrcs, (I live in a flat over a grannie). And the main listening system is Yamaha 701...

    Appreciating your system

    More surge stuff. (impulse purchase). I have four tacimas. 1 for the T.V. stuff. 1 for the P.C. stuff. and 2 for the stereos. I truly wish I had not bought them at all. They do not have individual switches, or a master switch. If said thunder storm arrives, I would have to move furniture...

    Cassette tapes

    I usually buy quality old cars, and my last one had a radio cassette. I now drive something a little newer, with a CD player. Like many here, we miss mix tapes. So I bought a Tascan CD recorder, just for the car.

    I have some CD's by him, but I cannot recall any name of the tracks I like most. It goes "na na na na naa na na naa na na naa na nana na na naa na na na na na nananaa.".

    Why don’t reviews mention if Bluetooth / standalone speakers are stereo or mono?

    About 25 years ago, my mother had an obscene, gigantic Sony CRT. To my amazment, it could throw it's sound, filling the room with multi-channel sound. I can't explain it. But there are some clever guys in Japan.

    B&W 603 S3 vs Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 vs KEF Q11 Meta

    You could ask your local paint sprayer if he is willing to spray any speakers you choose, Diamond white. He will ask for around £100 -£200. You may have to wait 2-3 days. But you can now choose any speakers, any colours.

    Question Black, White, or Silver?

    I voted black, but as long as it looks expensive, then that's O.K. And big blue lights are splendid. My old casette deck has led vu meters, That's the only reason it's on the rack. I'm sure it will look impressive to my visiters, like my care worker, Have a drink on me. IAN (hee hee).

    51 year old with 3 young children!?!

    If you have to nail your speakers to the wall, as I did. Consider B+W CT7.3 (LRCS). Front ported and good value. Maybe a bit bright for some but, the more you turn the up the volume, the better they get. Mine are mounted way up high, 1 meter from the ceiling, (it's complicated)! Not perfect...
