Sounds like in that office I will have to ask the desk to part with its attachment to the wall.

The other office I have no idea how I can work em.

I suppose wall mounted brackets with extension arms are a bad, bad idea??

Cheers for that.

I think I'm going to have to re-work things in the office. The desk/shelves are fixed to the wall. So I have to leave the speakers as are, or perhaps think about placing them behind me at the other end of the room - about 5-6 metres. I do kinda like em up close though.

The other office is much worse - narrow fixed shelving on walls - they would have to go sides to the wall, probably 1.5 metres behind me, 5m apart, with me off-centre.

Well the testers arrived today. Needed to delay till tomorrow, but they're closed for 5 days, so ditched work and I now have some mighty fine sounding stacks of cash on my desk.

They take up more space than I was expecting. And I probably have the worse positioning possible for them - backs against the wall, just over a meter apart, 1 foot above my head. But they do sound damn good and I'm for sure hearing pleasant sounds that weren't there last time I listened to this music.

Thanks IMHO for your great and helpful assistance.

^ Great to hear. I'm itching for Wednesday to come around now.

IMHO, how would you go about hooking a set of these to a TV?

Could I bother your for your vendors contact? (In-case maharaj (?!) wont budge on price).

^ The amp and speakers in the main room I didn't give thought to when designing the living room ... Just thought I'd squeeze em in to the cabinets around the TV ... I'm not into that special spacing and stands etc ... but I didn't allow them enough air to breathe ... they get too hot, esp the amp ... so was thinking some cheapish speakers for casual listening ....

I've currently got some bad humming through the B&W's and there's a delay between TV and audio if I try to do the movie thing .... I ain't no electronic guru when it comes to the backside of these things ... so was thinking a backup pair of speakers in this area might be more efficient. If that makes sense. I know its all on youtube these days .... but its not someting I wanna spend half a day on ...

Great Vid. Was waiting for the technicalities... (thankfully) they never came. His loss of words was good enough to sell me.

^ cheers IMHO, will watch when I've done my morning duties. Found the old thread yday too... so got that to read up on too.

Appreciated.

The kid on the phone yesterday tried to tell me they were 8k per pair. I said "you sure"? ... yes yes. At that point I ordered 4 sets! Needless to say I got a phone call shortly after.

Typical ... experience ... I try to hold it in ... but but but .... end of it all, got a set being delivered for testing next week. Frustrating.

' rare day in Thailand when no-one gets any.

(budda-bing)

^ cheers. Thats what I was looking for. For the main two pair. (Both offices).

Thanks guys.

Yes, the CCA way cheaper than the Sonos, which was what I was talking about, or meant. I've always had my eyes on Sonos, but the comments above are correct - its a very walled environment. With the CCA I can add that to existing equipment and expand as I please.

IMHO - Thanks. I think the JBLs you mention are the ones I was referring to in the lost thread. I wasted one of my 6 days in Melbourne last year going from one JB hi-fi to the next on the hunt for the single pair they had in stock - to eventually be told that they were a returned dud set!!

By your comments you'd use these for all environs? I mentioned the sticks, just as a reference point.

I plan to get more of the CCA's - as they do what I'm looking for. Grouped the two I have over the weekend, having Spotify play from one device to 2 locations. That capability is said to expand later in the year ...

Cant find an old thread that had lots of relevant info ...

But anyway, I'm revisiting my need for new speakers. I need a few sets for several areas, so need to spread the budget.

Part of the reason for re-visiting this now is that I've got a couple of the new chromecast audios - so multi-room streaming just got way easier and cheaper.

My reference would be the Harmon Kardon Sticks. But I do remember in that old thread, many alternatives were mentioned.

Rooms that need doing:

The home office - where I do a fair bit of sitting and listening and the sound generally percolates to surrounding rooms, but not loudly enough.

Bedroom - possibly hooked into TV?

Main Office - wouldn't mind a mobile / moveable setup.

Downstairs Living: Already has a NAD amp and B&W speakers, but toying with the idea of a 'lighter' back-up pair.

Bathroom: Yeah, overkill, but sick of listenting through iPhone in there.

What would be some options?? Diff rooms would have diff budgets, but lets say up to 15k per... (roughly)

^ nice, have dat. Can someone varify how well this works? would you have to be signed into the uk app store acct for it to work? do you need a vpn connection running?

BBC?

^ Its a common problem when you search the webboards for an answer.

Deezer is pretty ordinary in terms of options and functionality. Apple has this terrible habit of "the format you selected is not recognised" or some such. Pretty bad. Rdio was the best of the lot, with great functionality - continuity across devices, flexible stations, auto-continuation at end of list etc etc; but they sold em selves to Pandora.

Ive just yesterday started Spotify with VPN; so far so good - absolutely no buffering or delays whatsoever. And plenty of obscure stuff from artists of whom I'd thought Id heard everything. Plus the Spotify playlists out there are damn good.

Spotify just announced a launch in Indo, so hopefully we are not too far away.

^ great show that.

^ dont they charge like 500b just for postage??

Someone mentioned getting the electric remote key replicated by a good key cutter - please elaborate who how where etc.

ok then, will do.

^ how much are we talking about for a vid like that?
