HI guys, Any assistance would be appreciated. I have my HTPC - HP Gen8 Microserver with Nvidia 1030 GFX card via HDMI into my AVR. Using Kodi it doesn't output Atmos correctly - i.e. the overhead ounds are output via the front and surround speakers. However using WinMedia Player it outputs...

HI guys, Gonna be trekking up country for a few days in July and staying in Pretoria. Would like to know the best PiriPiri chicken joints in the vicinity - doesnt need to be posh... a dive or cart will do... only requirement is it must be 100s!!! I am intent on going to Bevs Burgers after...

Hi guys, Sorry to be a pain, recently had a solar system installed - 8kw SS with 12 x 545W panels in two strings and one 5kw hubble battery - still awaiting a further battery (supply constraints). So far so good, money well spent. I know full well that the inverter will not power...

HI forumites, I am keen to find out what the regulations are for installing inverter and battery bank in the living area of house? Ive seen some comments on fb frowning on these installations but no legislation or regulations adverted to... The one most intriguing was a system in a cupboard...

Hi guys, read with great interest the blurb regards TCL TVs, seemingly they well rated accross the pond - I know we get the 2nd rate stuff here... But with deals coming up how good are they? TCL Launhes 4K TVS Pricing seems keen even before BlackFriday deals: TCL 4K TV prices in South...

Hi guys, Need some assistance from the doyens and masters with skill... something I was not blessed with. I have had speaker cabinets made for my 8" atmos speakers (I read somewhere that this was better than just mounting them into the ceiling space): they are 350x350x180 (WxDXH) - they are...

HI guys anybody here got experience with Sofar Solar? They are being marketed here under the Rentech brand which is owned by the Manufacturers of Willard/Sabat batteries. I could get a fantastic deal here and its a few k cheaper than the best in class i.e. Sunsynk and Deye. I have chatted...

With all this talk about the Cape Town demo by @Air ... And having a serious bout of FOMO... I simply jumped at the opportunity to go and listen to the Kef LS60 aka Kef Mini Blades at AE in umhlanga. Having always wanted to listen to the Kef Blades and having missed the chance to, I couldn't...

Hi guys, just some advice as to where would be best to place my overhead speakers. I've looked at the dolby site and noted their recommendations but, when it comes to angles, off axis, measurements etc, sadly it's all gibberish to me. What I do know is they should be in line with the fronts...

HI guys, I am using a Telkom Dlink dsl g2562dg with fibre via Openserve. I have 2 routers with the same model number, but one has 4 antennae and the "older" model has 2. Rather than waste cash for a mesh system, is there any way to hard wire this older unit to the newer unit? I want to...

HI Guys, Apologies if this has been asked before: I have bought a 75" TV and looking at options for mounting same. I was thinking that I would prefer a full-motion unit as it offers most versatility as opposed to the simple wall mount or the new "air  slim" mount. I have seen various...

In celebration of Heritage day,  I took up Audio Excellence's invitation to experience Klipsch's latest loudspeakers, the inimitable Cornwall (1st pic) and the smaller Heritage(2nd pic). What an experience!!!! Well worth the visit - those Cornwalls replicate a drum beat that can punch you in...

Good day guys, I have 8" Paradigm CS80 speakers which i am wanting to install in a hopefully soon to be completed project. I was of the opinion that rather than cut holes in the ceiling, I could borrow from Jason Willemese's build and mount the speakers in enclosures into/ont the ceiling. I...

Check out this channel... Its very interesting especially the comparisons.... Check out his channel, there's many speaker shootouts and amp shootouts. The beauty is, he uses the same song and switches between the songs in the same video. Disclaimer: I have no idea if they are using the same...
