    Bluetooth Speakers

    Not sure if they sell it in your country but the IKEA/Sonos speakers have had decent reviews and they're £99 here so probably similar there, the JBL Link Portable seems pretty decent too but it's just over the £100/$100 dollar mark

    Help with a new set-up

    I'd rather go for native Google support, the CEOL does that, the Cambridge Audio One seems closest to that but it's a tad cheaper. Placement of speakers is awkward in my lounge and I'm trying to find something that's easy to link up to other speakers downstairs, which might make Musiccast or...

    The D-M41DAB seems to review better for audio quality than the MCR-N470d and it's cheaper so I'd rather go down that route... the WXA50 seems awesome but I'd still have to add a CD player to it sometime so it's not as cost-effective. I'm thinking the D-M41DAB could be hooked up to a Chromecast...

    Help with a new set-up

    It's just trying to find a way of ticking the boxes I want to tick while keeping the cost down, I've got a wee Google home, and I like being able to stream easily through that so I'm tempted to get something like the IKEA/Sonos which would like to the Google for steaming then I can use the...

    Not too late! I'm still looking, but mainly I'm trying to budget and figure out the best placement of a system, so I'm struggling with decisions on speakers and where to actually have my set up in my house. I've done a lot of reading and the CEOL looks really nice, but I'm not sure if they're...

    Yeah, I'm trying to find out if I can link the Yamaha to a Google Home or Alexa so I can ask Google/Alexa to play 'x' song and then it comes out via the Yamaha amp and speakers. That's the plan

    Yeah i think I discounted the CEOL, they look pretty but i'd rather put my money into substance. Leaning towards the Yamaha R-N602, although the CA AXA25/AXA35 are nice looking units

    Help with a new set-up

    Hello, I'm looking at building a hi-fi setup but this is a new world for me and I'm confused by the choice available to me... I have an Audio Technica LP3 turntable, currently linked up to an old JVC mini system, it makes the turntable sound muddy as hell so I'm not currently using it. I...
