    Fosi Audio BT20A Pro Amplifier Review

    @amirm You say 69 watts but X=98.84? Is this a mistake? I just bought this little amp with some 8 ohm outdoor speakers (B&W AM-1), so 99 or 69 makes a big difference. :)

    Home audio setup indecision

    And, finally, the rear speakers. I rounded up my 5.1 setup with a Black Friday offer for the Polk ES10 at €151,99/pair, which I will mount to the walls. The KEF Q150 really is too big for my taste and the KEF R8a a bit pricy for surround speakers. AVR: Denon AVC-X4700H Front L/R & Center: KEF...

    Home audio setup indecision

    Pretty much all reviews of the Arendal 1S/1V conclude there is nothing/hardly anything to be faulted at this price point. I also very much like the attention to detail and agree that it is quite attractive to look at. So I actually just pulled the trigger on a single 1S. If I like it, I may get...

    Arendal, never heard of them. Indeed they are not very small, 12,2" is their smallest size I think. Will check it out further, thanks for the recommendation.

    Great advice guys, thank you. I am going to follow it and get 4 metas, sell one, and look for a pair of not too big subwoofers.

    Home audio setup indecision

    My time spent on music/film varies greatly, sometimes it is 80/20, then it's 20/80. And yes, I can accommodate a 5.1 setup without cables lying everywhere. I can come close to the angles recommended by Dolby. You make a good point about the room correction, this is a big advantage of the...

    Home audio setup indecision

    Hi all, In two weeks I will be moving to my new home, and I have been saving up to get a brand new audio/video setup. Black Friday rears its head at a most convenient time. However, I am still undecided on what would work best for me. I am very passionate about both music and film so the new...

    AVC-X3800H vs AVC-X4700H

    For our Dutch & Belgian members, the price for the AVC-X4700H Silver dropped another €100 to €1299. Effectively HALF the price of the AVC-X4800H at €2599. (It should be duly noted that the SRP of the 4800 of €2599 is completely bonkers given that the average best online price for the 4700 has...

    Thanks everyone for the input, I have decided to go for it and order the 4700!

    AVC-X3800H vs AVC-X4700H

    I can get it for that price at a Dutch hifi shop (hifiklubben.nl), but they only ship to Netherlands or Belgium.

    The AKM chipset...I did not even know about this issue, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

    AVC-X3800H vs AVC-X4700H

    I am looking at a setup with a single subwoofer. What is better about the HDMI handling in the 3800? The setup will be in a medium sized home, will the extra power of the X4700H be a big advantage? I do not listen at ear splitting levels so I figured that the lower power of the 3800 is not...

    AVC-X3800H vs AVC-X4700H

    My question is not specifically aimed at room correction (though it definitely should be taken into account) , but the general comparison of these 2 models and what would be the best choice at these price points.

    AVC-X3800H vs AVC-X4700H

    Hi all, So Denon upgraded its AV line up and now as usual the new models are pricey and the old ones are discounted. And thus I find myself in a position where the new AVC-X3800H is sold for €1699,- and the old AVC-X4700H, which in many ways could be considered a step up, would actually cost me...

    What do you think about Revel Concerta2 M16?

    What a shame that these go for nearly double that price in Europe (€629,-/each on all Dutch hifi websites). I understand that I can expect an intercontinental surcharge but this is ridiculous! :(

    Allo Boss2 Review (Stereo Streamer)

    Just bought one of these and I read that I can power it directly via the RPi USB-C PSU (5V 3A). Wondering how do I earth the Boss2 if I do not have the fancy Nirvana PSU just a plain RPi PSU? The Boss2 has a grounding pin below, but where should I lead the wire?

    Topping PA5 Review (Amplifier)

    Eh, ignorance? I'm new here and just sought out a few well reviewed pieces of hardware to combine. You probably misread my initial post, but pretty much my exact question was whether driving the PA5 with an unbalanced signal is a good idea or not. I was actually already proud that I got as far...
