    I want to show off my new room/system

    Hello Anderson. It's a rectangular thru room. We were at pains to make it flow as one room. But due to the shape each end has its own use. There's now a sofa and 2 wing backs fAcing the fire. The speakers are my avi 9.1s fed by a squeezebox duet. All my music is on a PC that lives upstairs in a...

    Going active ... ?

    i went for the avi adm 9.1s about 4 years ago . fed by a quezzebox duet. the only 'tweak' has been as technology has moved on its now controlled by a lovely tablet using software that cost 3 dollars. so my system has actually improved. i didnt even have to pay for the ipad as its my wifes old...

    upgrade my panny plasma to????

    hi strapped. I know you post isnt directed at me. but for good order. the reason i didnt bother with paying more for 'smart' particularly. thought its soemthing I would have ilked in there. was that after reading many independent owner reviews. most of the 'smart' tvs fall down in exactly that...

    upgrade my panny plasma to????

    upgrade my panny plasma to????

    Do you like a little fiction?

    I guess I fall into 1. Owning avi 9.1 speakers. as they are active and supposed to be very neutral . its true that it can really highlight faults in the original recording/production. different versions of the same track from different albums /decades sound vastly different. and POP boy/ girl...
