    40m2 - Front ported

    Great suggestions but I don't have room for floorstanders... :-(

    40m2 - Front ported

    When I'm 2 meters away from the speakers pointed directly at me, all is good. When I step away, I immediatly lose all the bass which leads me to think the speakers aren't powerful enough. Maybe it's a combo speakers/amp? My amp is a Cambridge CXA60 that I rarely run above quarter volume.

    40m2 - Front ported

    Morning all I've just moved house (and yes it was stressful enough) and now have a larger living room/listening space. I've gone from 20 to 40m2 which my current B&W 601s can't really handle. Therefore, i'm in the market for some bookshelf speakers that can fill the full space. Preferably front...

    Cambridge CXC with Arcam A15?

    Another quickie. You can only hook up two spearkers to the Arcam A15 and not 4 on a Cambridge CXA for example?

    Cambridge CXC with Arcam A15?

    Question for a dummy here but will my Cambridge CXC transport work with the Arcam A5 or A15?

    Old (B&W DM601 S3) vs New (Kef Q Concerto Meta)

    Hello all, Hope you're well. I've had a few speakers over the piece and most recently some Dynaudio Emit 20s which I found to be a bit "cold". I replaced them with a second hand find in some B&W DM601 S3s which I have to say, have been very good to me. I'm very much a fan of their the warm...

    It did come off but with a damp cloth. It wasn't just your everyday dust..

    KEF Q300 - Help !

    It might have been there before I tired the bi-wiring. I had the covers on so I just didn't notice maybe. I never play anything really loud as I'm in a small flat. I used a humid soft cloth and wiped off the residue and it looks clean now. Just curious as to what those marks were..

    KEF Q300 - Help !

    Morning all, I recently acquired a pair of KEF Q300s in brand new condition and have had the hooked up with a single wire for about two weeks. Last night, I was watching a few videos on the benefits (or not) of bi-wiring and decided to give it a try. There were a few strange moments when i...

    New listening update. These KEFs are more to my liking globally, especially the bass but it sometimes can be too heavy...which got me thinking about room space. My listening area is very small (around 6m2) and I sit about 2 meters away from the speakers. I'm thinking that maybe a smaller...

    Yes only with the cassette deck...the CD transport has the same volume settings.

    I have to turn the volume up with the cassette deck only. The volume is the same as before with the CD transport. Also, I hooked the speakers up with two sets of wires (bi-wired connection). Not sure if this is necessary or not ?
