    AVI ADM9s: breakthrough or too much hype?

    To be honest rather than the subjective debate that will ensue I would advise trying to listen to the ADM's before you make your decision. If you look on the AVI forum you will find a plethora of owners willing to give a demo in there own home or failing that find a dealer who stocks them and...

    Yamaha Aventage RX-A810 + KEF KHT 3005HD - Sounds poor & veiled ...

    Yamaha Aventage RX-A810 + KEF KHT 3005HD - Sounds poor & veiled ...

    Yeah I think they could be with weak link, they just sound so hollow and flat and they aint exactly cheap either although they do look the part I have to say ... I was going to go with the Cambridge Audio Minx setup but the salesman said the Yamaha/Kef combination would be better for music as...

    Yamaha Aventage RX-A810 + KEF KHT 3005HD - Sounds poor & veiled ...

    HI everyone I need some advice on a home cinema setup I’ve purchased from Richer Sounds. I have purchased a Yamaha Aventage RX-A810 with a set of KEF KHT3005 HD and it just does not sound right at all. I’ve had the amp running now continuously for around 24 hours using a combination of...

    Turntable - 1st in a while

    Jason36: Missed out on the RPM 9. It finally went for £495.00 which in honesty was more than I was willing to pay. Still considering an RPM6 or a Rega Planar 3 but may also consider a Genie 3 as the reintroduction into TT's You won't go wrong if you decide to but the Planar 3 with the Elys 2...

    A Phono Preamp Upgrade for Rega P3-24 / Elys 2 and Rega Brio 3

    9130: I'm going to upgrade my system with a new phono preamp. I'm running Rega P3-24 / Elys 2, Rega Brio 3 integrated amp and Rega R3 speakers with some Chord speaker cables. I guess Rega Fono MM will be a sort of a blank shot here, so I decided to look at Gram Amp 2 SE or Lehman Audio...
