    Sub woofer advice

    Oh and as to biwiring, as I say, rather embarrasingly, I'm not sure how to run them any other way.

    Sub woofer advice

    The M3si certainly looks tempting, but it would be a difficult expense to smuggle past my partner (the perils of sharing of your life with an accountancy lecturer). When you say you've found Audiolabs to be inconsisten, do you differen examples of the same model are inconsistent with one...

    Sub woofer advice

    Thank you the_master66, the Audiolab 8000p suggestion is definitely intriguing, as I can see that its not so much more expensive than the sub, although it would entail my getting the 8000a fixed, which I guess would add another £100 or so to it all (although I have been tempted to send it off...

    Sub woofer advice

    Great, thank you Thompsonuxb, that wouldn't have occured to me (I don't have any great knowledge of hifi at all, I've just been slowly cobbling things together out of a combination of separates I bought as a teenager in the nineties and items from eBay). Although, as I mentioned above, I have...

    Mission 753 (non-freedom)

    Thanks a lot for the reply Philpot1001, I've agonised so much over the placement of the speakers that it hadn't occured to me to consider moving myself... I'm away from home for a few days, but, if I can get away with it, I'll have a go at shifting some chairs around when I get back to the flat.

    Mission 753 (non-freedom)

    I currently have a pair of Mission 753s connected to a Marantz PM66-SE (I'll be changing this for an Audiolab 8000a any day now), and my sources are a NAD 533 with an Ortofon 2M, and my lap top, which I bluetooth to the HiFi via an Arcam Miniblink. There's a lot to like about the sound I get...
