    Tannoy DC6T vs Monitor Audio RS6

    Hi Patrick, these would lie around £1K bracket and up, Yamaha, Sony, Pioneer, Onkyo spring to mind, partnering would be dependant on speakers, so I suggest a little browsing the forum. As always recommended you sholud try and listen to the combination where possible. If you have the option for...

    Tannoy DC6T vs Monitor Audio RS6

    What amplification are you using, I think this will be a key player in the decision. The tannoy's ran for 2 years at best buy status if memory serve's correctly. not heard the RS. I have listened to the DC4's, presentation is quite forward, dynamics were good, foot print relatively small and...

    This sounds a bit radical pete321, but interested to know the results, also does the browndog require soldiering to the board? Cheers

    Virgin V+ cables

    I currently use QED HDMI P between the V+ box and TV, this does provide an improvement, richer colours, better definition. I use the supplied V+ cable on an XBox which is ok, however swapping it out to the one above provides a better experience again. This is only my opinion and as always if...

    CHORD HDMI SUPERSHIELD HDMI (Awards 2009) vs. VAN DEN HUL HDMI FLAT HDMI (Awards 2008)vs. QED PERFORMANCE HDMI (Awards 2006)

    record on dvd from v+box

    simply put - you record the program on the V+, and transfer it via scart to the DVD recorder. Use the menu's on the V+ to start the transfer and press record on the dvd recorder at the same time having chosen the correct source. You can't watch the program during the transfer.

    CHORD HDMI SUPERSHIELD HDMI (Awards 2009) vs. VAN DEN HUL HDMI FLAT HDMI (Awards 2008)vs. QED PERFORMANCE HDMI (Awards 2006)

    probably a bit late in reply, I use the QED performance and its a decent cable, I also have a Chord HDMI and there is a difference in the picture quality from this in comparison to the QED. Laptop running a blu-ray player not the best of transports but certainly visually notable differences...

    Difference between tannoy dc4t revolution and signature

    I had a demo of the dc6t, was good, felt a very forward presentation, slightly lean, dynamics were good too, Justify.... would certainly advise listening to before any comittment, I definately think they need to be gotten use to. As I use small speakers, I found their bass extension was ok for...
