Subwoofer upgrade?

Good evening all, I am looking to upgrade my subwoofer, I am currently running a Rel Q150E. I have a few options I am thinking about.... Buy another 2nd hand Rel q150e, two better than one right?? Or Upgrade my Rel and get an either SVS P2000 or a BK monolith plus?? I really like my Rel esp for music but I do feel like it runs out of power at only 150wats. I have a normal medium size living room. Which is better? Your view please guys? from AVForums https://ift.tt/3bsaimr

Sony STR-DN1080 owners thread...

I received my new Sony STR-DN1080 AVR, last Friday ( Care of Sevenoaks, whom i haven't used before....but a fantastic delivery service, received within 24 hrs. ) My initial impressions since, absolutely thrilled !

First of all, a bit of background to set the scene... Bought the house in 1999 as a new-build. Fancied building a dedicated room using the garage when I got my first 5.1 system around 2006, but never found the time. Kids (twins) came along in 2010, and we decided the garage should be put to better use, and subsequently had it converted to a 'playroom' Pretty much stopped playing PS3 games and watching movies as the volume always had to be one above mute Fast forward...

Sony VPL-VW270ES owners thread

Hello, Not sure if I'm allowed to start an owners thread but I couldn't find one so here goes! What's the worst that could happen? Owned my 270 for a couple of weeks now having upgraded from an Optoma HD151X and personally I'm enjoying the visual improvements. However, I can't say I understand the settings much. Some are relatively obvious but others less so. Even searching the manual or Google hasn't particularly helped. So, am I getting the best out of the machine or are there settings...

Thought it could be nice to have a thread full of random musings and questions that don't really deserve their own topic Since I've ran out of plugs (again!) behind my TV, I have a couple of quick questions: 1. Generally what is the 'safe' maximum number of plugs to have on a double socket? I have a 6 bar and a 4 bar, but need to replace the 4 with another 6 I think. 2. I have lots of spare spare 4 adapters, and also one of the chunky three adapters (need this so my homeplug works)...

Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1660ti 6Gb GDDR6

A change of circumstances leads me to put my 1 month old Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1660ti up for sale. I have only played a few hours of CMS 2018, and ETS 2 on it, so not overworked. I used the "Auto Scan" feature in the Aorus Engine software, and the card sustains a boost clock of 2025MHz @ 60c on standard fan profile. Comes boxed, with everything as new. I think any warranty claim would have to be through me, as i registered the card for the 4 year warranty. Warranty currently shows till...

Adding a Sub finally !

Hey all, I'm after some really valuable advice ref a sub woofer addition to my current 5.0 setup. I have a Denon AVR-X2500h running x4 full tower speakers and a center, we have just moved into a new home and looking to finally take the plunge an add the .1 to my system.

Mate 20 Pro deals?

Ready for an upgrade on my P20 Pro, now I know the P30 Pro sounds the obvious choice but I think i will appreciate the upgrade in screen on the Mate 20 Pro. A little extra zoom on the P30 Pro won't really benefit me that much. I was going to hang fire and see what the new Xperia has to offer but I don't think I will find a deal like this.

Broken 3.5mm headphone socket on Astell&Kern AK70 MK II

Managed to break the 3.5mm headphone socket on my AK70 MK II over the weekend by carrying it in my pocket with the headphones jack plugged in. It seem the socket's not as robust as you might expect &/or that 'portable' doesn't mean stick it in your pocket. To compund my problems the 1-year warranty expired a week ago. This is where I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help me. I'm struggling to find a UK based repair option on either the A&K/iriver Web Site(s) or Google (which...
