I found an old but brand new, sealed in box Marantz PM7200 which I am interested in for a second setup I am building, I used to own one of these for many years so know the sound well, my question is as long as its been stored well, dry etc will the electrics inside be as good as new, is there...

The Gadget Show did a comparison to get the absolute best from a CD and from vinyl what you would need to spend on your setup, remember this is for the best sound possible from a CD or vinyl, quite a big differance, for vinyl you would need to spend £35,000, that would be the amp, turntable...

Some of you may remember several months ago I posted on here about my partner of 23 years refusing to have my hi-fi back in the living room after redecorating, I was quite happy to get smaller speakers but I will not give up my love of music which I had long before I met her, I have now given up...

We are in the middle of decorating with the living room finished apart from new windows, while it was done I removed my hi-fi, TV as we had new carpets etc and once the windows are done I can put my hi-fi back and move the TV from the corner (I hate tv;s in the corner and I can't get the...

Do these new tv's have good viewing angles (like plasma), this was a main reason I still have a plasma, I just hate how the picture changes on the LED sets when watching off centre.

For a few months now I have been looking on Ebay for a replacement Panasonic plasma, (I just cannot get on with LED), but I have so far avoided the GT models as I have heard they have a inherent fault and are very unrealiable, am I right to avoid these because a GT60 has become available on...

How much can I expect to pay to calibrate a Panasonic plasma ? Can anyone recomend someone in the Leicestershire or Warwickshire area please Thank you.​

The Dali Zensor 1 or Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 (just for bedroom use)

This is rare but sometimes the crossover inside the speaker can reverse, its called reverso flash over, if this has happened the woofer becames the tweeter and the tweeter becames the woofer, because the tweeter cannot handle the powerful low bass sounds it blows but as the woofer can handle the...

Your speakers will sound strange as they do not exist, there is no such speaker as a Mission 9.1 Diamond, what do you really have ?

I have a Denon M39 with Wharfedale 9.1 used in the bedroom, is it worth upgrading the speakers, I am happy with the set up and I don't want to get speakers that will out class the Denon, BUT if anyone can recommend a speaker upgrade that might be worth considering thanks.

Looking to replace my old Mission V63 (large fllorstanding speakers) but can't make my mind up between floorstanding or standmount, I am looking for a bit more refinement / detail, nothing boomy or bright I prefer a slightly warner sound and listen to female singers, a bit of Queen...

my amp and it states speakers between 8 ohms and 16 ohms, does that mean I cannot use speakers rated at 6 ohms, the new ones I was thinking of buying are 6 ohms ?

a lot of negative posts on here regarding Bose, I understand they maybe not to everyone's taste, BUT for people who don't like music much they can be a very good option.

Am I right in thinking if my amp can output say 25 wpc at 8 ohms and I changed my speakers for new ones rated at 6 ohms the new speakers will be easier for the amp to drive and the output power could be more ?
