    Sony Bravia ZD9 4K HDR TV with Backlight Master Drive is launched!

    These models just arrived in stores here recently and the local store finally got a demo up on Friday. We went & checked it out. Had them go through everything step by step. I admit to liking the top line LG OLED picture a bit better...but my wife preferred the Sony...Not to mention that even...

    Sony Bravia ZD9 4K HDR TV with Backlight Master Drive is launched!

    Any further thoughts & reviews on these Sony models? We are looking at 65 or 75 inch tvs at the moment & just when we had narrowed it down to the Sony XD9 or an OLED model, the ZD9 comes along...and it's $2'500 pricier than the XD9.How long do tvs stay at full price? 6 months? A year? If this is...

    Primare Amps...

    Thank you for your response...although no one will ever mistake me for a Parisian, after 12 years in Switzerland my French is decent enough...I'd hazard a guess that I could handle your review and would appreciate it if you could provide a link. Would you happen to have any experience with the...

    Primare Amps...

    Indeed...Swedish brand but made in China & Taiwan since 2000...there's a bit of a discussion on it here from 2009. http://www.whathifi.com/forum/hi-fi/when-primare-product-manufacture-china

    Stick with same brand as front, rear, center speakers?

    Thanks for your reply...will stick with the Epicon fronts & center....of course in doing so I sort of want to stick with the Epicon rears as well...just wish I could justify the added $2'000 or so for doing so...

    Stick with same brand as front, rear, center speakers?

    Thank you for your response...would that apply across a series as well? I.E. If I have the Epicon 6 in the front, then it would be best to use the Epicon 2 as rears and the Epicon Vokal as the center versus going down a level to the Dali Rubicon series?

    Stick with same brand as front, rear, center speakers?

    Greetings all, Trying to put together a hifi/home theatre system from scratch...We like the DALI Epicon 6 as our front speakers...the salesman of course recommended that we stick with the same series from the same brand....is there an advantage to doing so versus going out & getting B &W 804...

    DALI Hifi/Home Theatre... How important are rear speakers?

    Hi all, Starting from scratch for a hi fi/home theatre set up. I think we might go with the DALI Epicon 6 for the fronts. A bit pricier than we had in mind but I want a decent front speaker for hifi. Now the salesman states that for surround it would be best to stay hi end...As in DALI Epicon...

    Primare Amps...

    Hi all, I've been looking into building a combo hifi/surround system starting from scratch.. .Been auditioning a few different speakers...So far my wife and I both like the DALI Epicon 6 & are considering the Epicon S2s as rear speakers (as well as the Epicon Center). The shop I'm dealing...

    B&W 804 D2s vs PMC Twenty 26s vs Naim Ovator vs Cabasse

    I think you might have hit on something there...with all the moving and redoing things perhaps I have been goin about it in a rather straight forward one track manner...and you're right...I should actually take the time to enjoy it and learn a bit along the way...$1'000 sale on those B&Ws isn't...

    Any experience with DALI & JMR?

    Hi all, Just auditioned the DALI Epicon 6, the JMR Orfeo Supreme, PMC Twenty 26s, and Naim Orator S-400s... I tried the Naims first and didn't particularly find them to my liking. Next up were the Dali & the JMR which I liked pretty much equally. I'd like to learn a bit more but can't find...

    B&W 804 D2s vs PMC Twenty 26s vs Naim Ovator vs Cabasse

    Thank you for your reply.. The Twenty 26s do not appear to be on sale at the location I found them. France & Germany could be an option...but shipping heavy speakers in a safe manner probably isn't cheap...and the Swiss customs folks take their jobs quite seriously when it comes to taxing...

    B&W 804 D2s vs PMC Twenty 26s vs Naim Ovator vs Cabasse

    Thank you for your reply. No it's not a decicated listening room, it's the living room...I live in a city where the smallness of the apartments is only matched by their high cost...I'd love to move out nut my wife & I both have offices here and my 8 yo daughter just started studies at the...

    B&W 804 D2s vs PMC Twenty 26s vs Naim Ovator vs Cabasse

    Hi all, Just moved and going to try to put together a "higher end" hifi/home theater system combo. Smaller space of 3.5m by 3.5m (empty) so I probably don't neeed 6 foot towers nor will my neighbors appreciate it. I live in Switzerland and there isn't a great selection to be honest... I found...

    B&W 804 D2

    Thank you for the prompt detailed response. Sorry it's been a week on my end. I just moved apartments and have been "a bit" busy lol. Hard call...$6'500 isn't exactly a drop in the bucket...but I think perhaps the price/quality works out enough for me to pull the trigger...I live in Switzerland...
