If anyone has one (or two) of the yellow/black Kevlar ScanSpeak 21W/8554-00 drivers I'd be interested in purchasing it/them. UK or EU preferred, but given they're long out of production I'd consider further afield if the seller were willing to do the shipping.

Hoping there's a baffles expert around! I understand that having a large radius on the edges of a baffle reduces diffraction effects. I also understand that the "half space/full space" radiation transition frequencies are related to the distance of a driver from baffle edges (simplification...

[This may be better in the Amps, Pre-Pros & Receivers section, but it is specifically about sub drivers, so hoping to find the bass freaks here] I have a set of four Peerless XLS10 P830452 drivers (4Ohm version) that I've had kicking round for a few years. A pair of them have been sitting in...

...and other questions... I have a set of four Peerless XLS10 4 Ohm (830452) drivers. I've been running a pair in a 40 litre (1.4 cu ft) sealed enclosure. The drivers are mounted on opposing faces of the box, wired in series to create an 8 Ohm load, and have been run off an Alesis RA500 amp...

I got a copy of PowerDVD 7.3 Ultra when I picked up a Blu-ray drive a while back. This has been playing movies without any problems, until recently when I noticed that a new film I bought (Iron Man) was only giving me two channel sound. Because my receiver is old (no HDMI) I'm running the...

Hi all, I'm about to put together a new PC (mainly for playing HD video), but I'd like it to at least be able to play some of the latest games. I've been out of the loop for years, so I've no idea about the current state of the 'tech' (my last purchase was a 2600+ Athlon with an nVidia...

Hope this is the right forum... I'm just about to take my first plunge into HD, and should shortly be getting a 1080p capable plasma TV. I want to put together a PC to play Blu-ray discs and was about to buy an ATI 3870 based card...

Hi all, I've just finished setting up a dust extraction system for my workshop. If you're hacking MDF, then hopefully this may be useful: http://spikyfish.com/DustExtraction/

Over the last couple of years, I've been planning to start building loudspeakers for sale (very small numbers, and hopefully 'fancy' artistic cabinets). Whilst I'm reasonably happy I can build a box, I'm not so hot on the electronics. As a result I'm looking at adapting existing designs -...

Hi all, I'm after the experiences of anyone that's used the Infocus SP4805 and SP5700 projectors. I have the opportunity to get hold of either of these units, both refurbished (with new bulbs). Both are significantly cheaper than the retail prices here in the UK. I've seen many good...

If anyone is seriously considering a purchase, then please contact me, as I've got a couple of bridges and a country I'm selling, and I figure you're the kind of mug, ahem, discerning customer I'm looking for :p. http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue15/cablecooker.htm

Intro From my previous thread "Yes, it's another Bass Traps thread...": Well, a promise is a promise (see attached) :D EDIT: You'll have to click on it for it's 'garish goodness'. Results OK, on to the serious stuff... At some point I plan to put together a webpage detailing the...

I have just set up a basic home cinema system in a recently redecorated room (5 speakers + projector). The room now has a wood floor and little wall ‘furniture’ (i.e. flat, hard, painted walls). I’ve noticed that the sound is quite ‘muddy’ and the clarity and crispness of bass that I used to...

Not sure if this would be better placed in the "Displays & Projectors" or "DIY" areas, but... I want to get an output from a DVD player (or my PS2), both of which are providing an RGB signal over a SCART connector, and input it into a standard computer LCD monitor. I've found the...

Hi all, I've recently put together a system with an Arcam AVR300 receiver, and a borrowed Denon A-11 DVD player. I've noticed that CD playback with the Denon (via analogue) isn't a whole lot different from a line out on a decent personal CD player. Having auditioned a Cyrus CD6 and...
