    Best Buys: (3D) Home cinema amplifiers

    I briefly considered 3D compatability when buying my new Amp and decided that new players (e.g. Panasonic's) with two HDMI's will take care of it, 'if' and when I ever head down the 3D route. i.e. I think that soon enough there will be loads of players with this capability to negatethe need to...

    Blu Ray Snob

    The only DVD I've watched since getting my Denon AVR2310 a couple of weeks back is the 1st LOTR. While the picture was perfectly acceptable I found the sound shockingly bad. It was flat and dull and I knew I was missing out badly on HD audio from a Blu Ray. Irritated the hell out of me while...

    SPEAKERS FOR PiONEER VSX-1020???

    I have the Dali Lektor 6's and am in love with the top and mid range of these speakers. The base is their weak area at the price point (as per the WHF review), but I'm planning on getting a sub in time to take care of that. If I had the money the Ikon 6 MKII's were top of my list (for the dual...

    SPEAKERS FOR PiONEER VSX-1020???

    You've some fabulous speakers there with the Ikon's and would surely be downgrading to get a new 5.1 set for your money. Why not just complete the Dali set of Ikons? or you could add Dali Fazon's if the Ikon rears are too big for you.

    New bluray player suggestions

    A general comment on members being allowed to advertise their old hardware to like minded individuals and avoid the fleabays of this world. I'm still looking for a deal on the LX52, with a fallback plan to get the Sony your after @ £175 or less. I'm wondering when the replacement for the...

    I wish there was an area here for members to sell their old kit.

    New bluray player suggestions

    dougolada: I am looking at changing to a Sony BDP-S570 as it has the features that I require. I ultimately need a more feature rich player and the LX52 just isn't doing it for me. I can see what you'll gain with the Sony, but do you think you might be losing on picture and sound quality? I'm...

    Is my ideal set-up an impossibility

    From the non-hifi expert community: Have you simply considered a couple of high quality (B&W/Bose) ipod docs for the dining room/kitchen or even one for both rooms? I don't know about your house, but my dining room doesn't get used nearly enough to justify any serious hifi - now the bathroom...

    New bluray player suggestions

    prkprk1: Pioneer RRP is £400 but I can easily get it for sub £200 From where?, I'd take someone's hand off for less than 200.

    Progress of AV Receiver Sound Quality

    I'm new to the world of AV amps and after a few years of watching and reading many reviews, jumped when the Denon AVR-2310 came down to £450 quid (from its original 750-800). I can't praise it highly enough with both movie and music playback and don't believe this level of quality was available...

    Musical road block and detour on 5.1 AV upgrade path

    professorhat: I don't think you'll find any Blu-Ray player at that price will rival your Marantz KI player I'm afraid (as an owner of one myself). The only thing you could try is ripping one of your CDs in WAV format to the PS3's hard drive and try replaying direct from the hard disk. It...

    Old Hifi to HD AV slowwwly

    purwoadi: Hi tispuds, Correct me if I'm wrong, I understand that you use the Mission 752 as your front speakers connected to Denon 2310 and not use Marantz PM KI anymore. Have you noticed the difference between Denon 2310 and Marantz hifi amplifier when hearing the CD audio ? Thanks. First...

    Old Hifi to HD AV slowwwly

    beedee:sell the mission freedoms and spash the cash on a full set of Dali's. I also had a speaker setup similar to yours, but replaced the lot with a 2005.2 KEF jobby. In a word BRILL. Thinking about a smaller speaker set up longgg and hard. I thinkyour KEF's, MT-30 or Dali' Fazons are the...
