Hi As a long term reader I’ve appreciated What HiFi as a magazine through the 90’s and 00’a and now as a website. Generally the articles are good and enjoyable to read. I do however have a minor gripe. The article titles are in some (not all) cases are starting to look very much like click...

Sorry for the delay, I only log in on occasion. I move been very pleased with it so far. I moved from a Yamaha a3060 which I also loved. Between the two the Synthesisnis without doubt the more natural and convincing. Vocals in particular are excellent and it’s definitely better than any...

Me too and it was the best gig I’ve been to in a very long time :)

Ah ok. Not quite enough then.

Indeed. It can be quite interesting moving from the home demo pair of a set of speakers to the new ones fresh out the box. I think it took about 150 hours before my latest speakers sounded like the demo pair.

Lol, yes I’m sure they will. Carpets on the upgrade list, but I’m holding out to when the kids are a little older 😉

It was time for a system overhaul, so I moved from a Yamaha 3060 & B&W cm setup to a PMC / JBL combination. I got a lot of enjoyment out of the yam/ b&w setup, but I’m really pleased with the step up. It’s the first home cinema setup I’ve owned which genuinely engages me equally for movies and...

Me thinks you’re maybe over moderating. Thread hijacking can be a problem but chatting m around a subject is usually fine and the OP’s post regarding sources was also shut down despite being relevant to partnering amp suggestions for the speakers. Forums should ultimately be enjoyable too or...

Sounds like a nice solution. I could happily have stereo or AV as my priority, but my wife likes having surround sound so it tips the balance.

I’ve literally just dropped a zillion quid on a new av receiver but I read things like this and then think back to that demo and it makes me want to pack it in for an all atc setup. Such a natural sound…I love it

I heard this same combination in a shop demo (it wasn’t for me it had been set up for someone else) and I was in love!!!!

I’ve never had a fuse go on my HiFi either. It sounds like you know what you’re doing so I’m glad you’ve found a solution. Just for my education is this because you have a mains issue or is it because your driving difficult speakers into high volume (or maybe another cause entirely)?

Which Tannoys did you have? Speakers haven’t improved that much £ for £, so just wondering if you’ve inadvertently down graded. The fact you are highlighting the treble would suggest to me that this is not a power issue per se. I would also suggest poor pairing of speaker / amp from a tonal...

Thanks Gray. it’s an overdue change to my room

Lol
