    Upgrading Broadband, what a palavah!

    Hi Ai Ears,...I hear your pain. But there might be a solution. I know that in Australia, Lithuania and Denmark the Ookla speed test is recognized as a benchmark for reliably testing internet speeds. Various companies in all 3 countries use it to help clients confirm their speeds. I'm...

    Question Combining wired and wireless in an AVR

    Hi all, does anyone know of an AVR that offers a combination of wired and wireless speakers? The house is on a concrete slab, so can't go through the floor, and there are no walls in a suitable position to run cables through. So one of the speakers will be about a meter from the nearest wall and...

    Soundbar advice

    I think the Samsung 990D might give you what you're looking for, but would certainly benefit from a sub. I've heard the 990 C and was genuinely surprised at how good it was. It may not have the prestige of other brands but in terms of making a TV sound good, it does it in spades...

    Marantz 40N vs Cambridge Audio CXA81+Cxn v2

    Hi, I have a Marantz running the HEOS app. Apart from allowing a few extra bells and whistles such as being able to listen to overseas radio stations etc, it seems pretty pointless, just a few extra menus to navigate before you can listen to the music. I think the main benefit of HEOS is its...

    all about the bass

    Thanks guys, Appreciate the feedback. I hadn't thought about pressurization. I acted on your suggestion about reading up on best practice for subs so cheers for that. Repositioning the unit made a huge improvement. The sub was just too close to some cabinetry on one side and a sofa on the...

    all about the bass

    Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up a home theater system and currently have Marantz NR 1608 paired with some Q acoustics 3050i's, a center speaker and sub. ( want to get some rear speakers at some point but living room space is at a premium so unsure where to go) However, my issue is this...

    Integrated Amplifier for Q Acoustic 3050i

    hahaha,...oops, thanks for that. You're correct I have the 3050is. I'm looking to purchase the 3020i's as rear speakers ( hence the mix-up) but even though they're not overly large, they'd poke out from the wall by quite a bit and the good lady wife is in opposition.

    Integrated Amplifier for Q Acoustic 3050i

    HI Darc, I'm also new to the forum,..this is my first post. I own a pair of Q A3020i's floor standers along with a 3030I center and matching sub. Currently, they're matched with a Marantz NR1608 as they make up the core of a surround sound system I'm slowly building up. Room size is also 6 X5...
