For computer use and watching DVDs, I have a 19 inch widescreen format LG monitor, which is splendid. But with normal resolution I struggle a bit with emails and even the Forum, unless I get close and put the reading glasses on. I would like something...

Hello all, I am looking at adding an AV setup to my main system. Looking to use my 82/scap/135's NBL's for the front speakers then AV receiver for the rest. Searching the forums I can see this can be done using a pre-out section on the AV to the 82, and found a lot of other useful setup information as well. What I am struggling with is, where I can find the pre-out specs on some AV amps (which is hard enough) they list output as 200 mV/470 Ω. The NAC82 manual lists the input sensitivity as...

Hi Anyone care to offer some advice? It’s been a long time since I dabbled with AV (I had one of the original AV1’s linked to Linn Sekrits in the 90’s). We’ve decided to build a dedicated AV room in the loft (room will be 7m by 4m) and i’m wondering about what to do from a speaker/processor perspective. Current system is 555/552/135’s and SBL’s (plus a sondek/superline/supercap for vinyl), and i’ve ‘collected’ 3x145’s along the way. Will be looking for new front speakers, processor, 2 more...

In the near future I'll be buying one of those newfangled flat TV's, I've resisted buying one mainly due to the poor sound quality and I'm quite happy with the picture and sound from my Sony CRT beast. I've just bought an old Bose Acoustimass...

I am thinking of getting a cheap Blu-ray player. I am mostly interested in music Blu-ray. My short list includes the Sony BDP- S790 and the Panasonic BDT 500. I am not interested in multi channel audio and would simply connect the optical out of the...

Hello everyone.    I just finished building out a fully dedicated home cinema / 2 channel listening room after 11 years of planning and would like to know if the Naim AV2 is still a worthwhile purchase or has it become far too long in tooth...

Hi All Ive recently been bitten by the Naim bug, very infectious it is too. Having just invested in an NDX and SPX, second hand, ive realised that i need something better than my Arcam AVR500 amp to hear the NDX at its full...

Hi folks. I have been using a basic Sony blue ray player for about three years with a 32" Philips lcd tv with no issues at all, I only have a low need for any tv quality I have been more than happy with my lot as Music is of far more importance to me...

WIth my previous Nait XS the supplied manual explained how to connect an AV amp to it so that the Nait powered the speakers in stereo mode playing cds and also powered the 2 front channels when the AV amp took over for TV, blue ray player etc.  I...

Members, I'm considering a room lay-out change, which would move a Pioneer plasma screen approx. 7m from DVD player and Sky box. Sadly, the latter cannot move too. I'm planning to use good quality cables but am wondering if I'm going to...

I use the 7.1 input of my AV2 (+ NAP145 + 2x NAP200) for Blu Ray sound connected with chord chrysalis cables. In the past 6 months I have tested those solutions connected to the multi input :- Panasonic Blu Ray recoder DMR BW 500 + Yamaha RXV-667...

Like most I've been interested in 3d tvs and blu-ray players watched the Demo's in the shops and some have been decent some very poor. Yesterday I bought a film which was 2d and 3d when I got home and opened the case there was two pairs of those 80's...

Hi everyone. I currently use my Uniti + HL5 for music only. Am considering adding my TV to the mix. Is it a bad idea to watch movies with the Harbeths? I'm particularly concerned about the effect, in any, of explosions and loud sound effects on the...

between supernait and rel r505

I've seen Marantz have just released a new av processor with all the bells and whistles for 1600 quid. There is no chance of an av3 coming guys so what is everyone doing ?

All, My first post outside 'hifi corner'..... Wondering if anyone else experiences inconsistencies with blu ray disc quality. I have the pioneer lx70a blu ray payer, a little dated but a fine machine that retailed for around £900. With that a pioneer vsx1019 receiver, also a decent bit of kit. A Sony HD 40" tv all connected with Chord HDMI leads( can't remember type, grey cable, one red plug, one grey, 1.3 something written on it, a popular cable). Most blu ray discs look very good and it's...

Hi all, I have a Nait XS and want to use the remote from my Humax Foxsat HDR to control source selection (to switch between HDD and AV) and volume. Humax don't list a remote code for Naim. From what I understand the supplied Narcom 4 is a Phillips...

Hello. New to the forum and have a question with regards to an N-vi i have recently purchased. Can any owners advise me as to the frequency of the cooling fan coming on, and the length of time it runs once on. My unit fan comes on...

What a sad way to go for the man responsible for Top Gun and True Romance... Thoughts are with his friends and family.  EJ

 My AV2 did not turn on when I pressed standby on the remote.  When I manually turned the device on, it had lost all of the settings.  I re-entered all the settings and the device seemed to work okay, however...

Hi everybody, My system is 5.0 : AV2 + NAP 145 + NAP 200 + NAP 200. Every speaker, even the central speaker as it is 3 speaker system (2 sats + a passiv Sub), goes as low as 30hz ... well, it mumbles (tested with Digital Video Essentials HD Basic...
