Anyone have any experience with edge subwoofer drivers?

I've looked on the forum and a bit online and I see no real reviews by anyone technical apart from teenagers in their car playing it full tilt. I was wondering if this a good bang for the buck driver as it's 15 inch and is rated to 1100w and 3300w peak. The excursion looks immence on videos I do say, but power and excursion does not tell the full story to a sub as we know. I was wondering should I pull the trigger on this for £200 as apposed to a lab 12 c for £100... Looking for the most...

To use power amp or not

Hi all I currently have a Marantz SR7012 and am using it to power Monitor Audio Gold 200 and Gold C350 speakers. My question is would I benefit at all from using a dedicated power amp. I am currently bi-amping the front left and right so if I will benefit should I look for a 3 or 5 channel amp and what sort of power output would be best Thanks in advance for any advice from AVForums https://ift.tt/3bRJzPR

Spitfire 150 inch Acoustic Screen

So finally have the screen up and pretty impressed with the picture. Only issue I have is that I can see the black support bar through the screen. On very bright pictures I can also see the 3 speakers that sit behind the screen. These have white covers on. Spitfire have told me it is essential for a screen over 120 inch to have the support bar but to get rid of the black line I would ideally need to remove the support bar. Any suggestions.

Italian death rate

The official death figures for Italy seem to Indicate the number of total deaths is doubling approximately every three days and after one month stands at 5000.

I'm not sure exactly what "PCM" means, but when I choose that setting instead of "Dolby Digital", I get much better results. The audio is louder and the surround sound is more, well, surround. I've been having a bear of a time trying to figure out the settings and getting 5.1 to work right. The main issue is only getting audio out some of the speakers.

Hi, I apologise if this has already been covered somewhere but I have been searching for days to find answers to my questions but much of the info I've found online is rather old and lacks the most current and up-to-date info. I've got a DRX895W SKY+ HD Box and the HDD is on its way out, its almost 10 years old and I've started to get loads of errors, running a planner re-build doesn't help and so I've decided to try to replace the drive and copy my recordings using either COPY+ or ExPVR...

WiFi router dying (again)

Six data-hungry people in the house, all on lockdown due to you-know-what... My beloved ASUS RT-AC88U is 18 months old. Developed an intermittent fault on port 3 a few months ago. Today wifi died. Rebooted. LAN died. Time to replace it? What with? Tempted to repeat history by buying another one. Other than the fact it's not working I really like it, firmware and all. It needs to be wall mountable, have great range & performance and have at least 5 ports (have 8 currently). Any ideas? from AVForums https://ift.tt/2Uhvaq4

Sky Q can only use WPS?

I was having problems connecting the sky mini box to my network, so checking my main box I noticed that the ssid was a different name to the one which is normal, i.e. Say my router is Sky123 the main skyq box reported it as sky456 no ideas where this came from. My main box is connected via ethernet so should not be anything other than the router ssid, for what ever reason it would not connect using wired and if I tried to use wireless it also failed the only way I have been able to connect...
