    Is ATC SCM 19 speakers an all-rounder?

    Bit surprised by that as I also use 8000s/px (orig British) biamped to STC19's in an 18' x4.5' room and significantly loud levels are achieved between 10-11 o'clock. This is using Foobar with replaygain, which attenuates the signal on many modern recordings by several db's as well. Lovely...

    Audiolab 8000S (UK Made) - value?

    I find the Audiolab 8000/Spendor S3e combination very enjoyable, albeit I also use an 8000P biamping the Spendors, but if anything this is probably a bit overkill and the 8000s/Spendors are fine together. I'm sure you'll get a lot of enjoyment from the pairing.

    I use this 3 channel amp in conjunction with my stereo set up when I need surround sound. Is it possible to obtain HD audio with this amp if used with a suitable multi-channel bluray player - it looks like this could be possible if I use the 6 channel audio input terminals and select External...

    Longer phono interconnect for sub

    I bought cables for my Epos M Sub from www.chunkycables.co.uk. Very well made, inc locking plugs which turn to lock on to the amp/sub. Pretty much industrial strength product. I would consider the above site worth checking out. Great value I thought and very helpful bloke who I exchanged a...

    Subwoofer for music. Which cables to use?

    I have today received a stereo pair of cables and have just been using them to connect my Epos M-sub to the pre-outs of my Audiolab 8000S. The cables work perfectly and perform very well. They are extremely well made and excellent value for money. I would suggest you check out...
