From the manual: Page 30 Listening in stereo When you select STEREO, you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Page 50 Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce bass frequencies...

IIRC - the sub will not work in Stereo on the LX70 unless the front speakers are set to small.

The same site advises: Force VoLTE (Calling Issues) If you cannot make or receive calls, your phone might be trying to use a non-existent 3G signal. Try dialing *#*#3642623344#*#* in your dialer to enable VoLTE, though this may need to be repeated after a restart. Check Settings > Network &...

Do any of the other 3 SIM cards you have work in his phone? A quick Google also comes up with: Based on user experiences, the ASUS ROG Phone 3 may experience issues with the Three UK network due to VoLTE (Voice over LTE) incompatibility or incorrect Access Point Name (APN) settings. Because...

Pretty sure back when that review was written (2007), both brands fell under Haymarket so there were a lot of similar views across the 2 brands.

That was my point...😁

Two things that spring to mind for me are: 1. If companies submit a product for review, are they likely to submit anything that may get a bad review? 2. Surely most of these products (amps, speakers, CD Players etc) have been around for so long now that manufactures know how to make a good...

Using any of the surround connectors is not going to work for what you are trying to do as they are for surround speakers - hence why you get sound when various surround/DSP modes are activated. Do you have the bridging/terminal plates/bars (pick a term 😀) for the speakers? If so, make sure...

A lot of mainstream brands have been missing for a while now which is a shame. Now no What HiFi? demo….😭

All great choices but as Al says, best thing to do is listen to some as you are the best judge for what you like. Personally, I had the 3030i and they are great speakers but I swapped back to Monitor Audio as I missed their superb clarity.

Perhaps consider a dongle DAC for your phone?

Welcome to the set up a pair of Monitor Audio RX6. I have not had floorstanders since I got rid of my Mission 752F / 754F about 25 years ago. These speakers have always had glowing reviews and having used them for just a few hours I can hear why. Really impressed so far. Currently not using...

Yeah, shame we don't seem to be able to do that any more.
