Home Theatres comparison
So, After more than 6 years of listening to music on my Creative SBS A300s and Logitec/Sennheiser earphones , I think I'm becoming deaf and therefore no longer in a position to appreciate the bass in the Creatives. I would like to replace them with a hometheatre that offers some great sound reproduction in the 50 Hz range upwards. However, I am surprised that most of what I am seeing here ( http://www.jumia.co.ke/home-theatre/) does not offer bluetooth pairing or even DNLA. I thought stuff in this age should even have a mobile app to control the damn thing? Are the Koreans and Japanese running out of steam? -- with Regards: blog.denniskioko.com <http://www.denniskioko.com/>
Bluetooth is very basic (& a must), my 3 year old LG home theatre had it! ./Ok3ch On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 8:25 PM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

@Dennis, I have a friend who absolutely swears by AV Receivers, he says home theatres are for audio babies, and I know for sure that you are not an audio baby! :-) On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 11:02 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

Dennis, Hotpoint has this LG unit - http://www.lg.com/ae/audio/lg-HT906TA - available at Hotpoint. I just called someone there who confirms this is successor to HT965 that I have and the specs seems to agree. In the meantime, I'd like to ask the audio giants this - does the AV receivers also come with the speakers? Do they also play movies? Excuse my ignorance on them.

@Dennis, I'm in a similar position to you, so do tell if you make any headway with this. I'm settling for the home theatre in a box option after having looked for a an AVR-speaker package without much luck. For the bass you're looking for an active subwoofer performs better. @Bernard, pricing and speaker options? On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 9:24 AM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

@Washington Yes some AV Receivers do come with speakers, but not all, most of the time you have to go looking for a set of good speakers separately. And they do not play movies sadly.

@Washington Yes some AV Receivers do come with speakers, but not all, most of the time you have to go looking for a set of good speakers separately. And they do not play movies sadly.

My friend actually bought a Yamaha YHT498<http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-YHT498-Home-Theatre-Package/dp/B0080VZY1Q/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp_-kMasb1RJ0FRQ_tt>from Amazon, paid using his coop card, and including shipping, the total cost was about 40k or so. This was about 1 year or so ago. @Odhiambo, the audio giants prefer an AV Receiver NOT to come with speakers, that way, they can go out and buy the best speakers as per their needs. Onkyo may make excellent AVR, but not necessarily the best speakers. Its like the best of both worlds; best AVR + best speakers = audio heaven. However, some AVRs do come with speakers. Not only can that Yamaha play movies, it can also play Blue Ray discs, comes with an SD card slot and USB slot as standard. So yes, it can play movies.

In the meantime, I'd like to ask the audio giants this - does the AV receivers also come with the speakers? Do they also play movies? Excuse my ignorance on them.

@Odhiambo, the audio giants prefer an AV Receiver NOT to come with speakers, that way, they can go out and buy the best speakers as per their needs. Onkyo may make excellent AVR, but not necessarily the best speakers. Its like the best of both worlds; best AVR + best speakers = audio heaven.
However, some AVRs do come with speakers.
Not only can that Yamaha play movies, it can also play Blue Ray discs, comes with an SD card slot and USB slot as standard. So yes, it can play movies.

1) Can they play DVDs/BluRay ? 2) Can they play *AVI *MP4 movies ? AV Receivers != Media players Amps main job is to employ hardware (and software) specifically built to decode audio (and perhaps video) to the highest possible quality. 3) How come they do not have Bluetooth/Wifi ? There's a heated debate on whether AV Receivers should support networking capability. I'm of the opinion they should concentrate on what amps were originally meant to do. Leave networking to media players, gaming consoles and smart TVs. According to CNET, Sony's STR-DN840 is best value for money purely because of the connectivity aspects. Others, like Matthew Moskovciak<http://www.cnet.com/profile/MoskovciakM/>, disagree: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20061992-1/six-reasons-receivers-shouldn... .

@Odhiambo, the audio giants prefer an AV Receiver NOT to come with speakers, that way, they can go out and buy the best speakers as per their needs. Onkyo may make excellent AVR, but not necessarily the best speakers. Its like the best of both worlds; best AVR + best speakers = audio heaven.
However, some AVRs do come with speakers.
Not only can that Yamaha play movies, it can also play Blue Ray discs, comes with an SD card slot and USB slot as standard. So yes, it can play movies.

@Washington Yes some AV Receivers do come with speakers, but not all, most of the time you have to go looking for a set of good speakers separately. And they do not play movies sadly.

@Peter Kanyuru Now that the debate on these AV-Receivers have been started - i might be interested in one. About this Yamaha YHT498<http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-YHT498-Home-Theatre-Package/dp/B0080VZY1Q/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp_-kMasb1RJ0FRQ_tt> - you have mentioned that it can play videos. However, can it: 1) play *AVI, *MP4 direct from USB ? 2) which DVD/BluRay regions does it support? I hope it can play the 50/- movies we get off the street 3) there is no mention of Bluetooth/Wi-fi streaming of music [or movies] from Mobile Devices - eg if you want to share a youtube clip on the living room.

And oh, most recent AV receivers like the Denon X2000 have an Ethernet port. Hook this up to a wifi router and stream via DLNA. On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 12:50 PM, ndungu stephen <ndungustephen@gmail.com>wrote:
@Peter Kanyuru
Now that the debate on these AV-Receivers have been started - i might be interested in one.
About this Yamaha YHT498<http://www.amazon.co.uk/Yamaha-YHT498-Home-Theatre-Package/dp/B0080VZY1Q/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp_-kMasb1RJ0FRQ_tt> - you have mentioned that it can play videos.
However, can it: 1) play *AVI, *MP4 direct from USB ? 2) which DVD/BluRay regions does it support? I hope it can play the 50/- movies we get off the street 3) there is no mention of Bluetooth/Wi-fi streaming of music [or movies] from Mobile Devices - eg if you want to share a youtube clip on the living room.

@Odhiambo, the audio giants prefer an AV Receiver NOT to come with speakers, that way, they can go out and buy the best speakers as per their needs. Onkyo may make excellent AVR, but not necessarily the best speakers. Its like the best of both worlds; best AVR + best speakers = audio heaven.
However, some AVRs do come with speakers.
Not only can that Yamaha play movies, it can also play Blue Ray discs, comes with an SD card slot and USB slot as standard. So yes, it can play movies.

Wash, Audiophiles do have some strange descriptions. Its quite hard sometimes to put into words, much like wine tasting :-). Someone made an attempt at explaining here http://dtmblabber.blogspot.com/2010/07/audiophile-buzzwords-dicey-subject.ht... In fact, with AV receivers some audiophiles are very particular with speakers. A 10 year old speaker would cost more than a year old one :-). Some picky ones would buy a brand new one and let it run a couple of days so that bass drivers could be less punchy! On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 12:43 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

@Peter Kanyuru Now that the debate on these AV-Receivers have been started - i might be interested in one. About this Yamaha YHT498 - you have mentioned that it can play videos. However, can it: 1) play *AVI, *MP4 direct from USB ? 2) which DVD/BluRay regions does it support? I hope it can play the 50/- movies we get off the street 3) there is no mention of Bluetooth/Wi-fi streaming of music [or movies] from Mobile Devices - eg if you want to share a youtube clip on the TV. BR/
Hmm, Not sure I am ready to invest in both speakers and an AVR, though at some point was planning on buying some JVC divers in Luthuli, including a dual cone subwoofer and building cabinets for the same. I turned my focus on home theatres after visiting a friend and experiencing nice bass from his home theatre at a low volume. I'm keen on clarity and bass at low volumes :-) Also, I need something with bluetooth or DNLA so that I can play and stop music from my bed, or from other locations in the house.

Audiophiles do have some strange descriptions. Its quite hard sometimes to put into words, much like wine tasting :-). Someone made an attempt at explaining here http://dtmblabber.blogspot.com/2010/07/audiophile-buzzwords-dicey-subject.ht...
In fact, with AV receivers some audiophiles are very particular with speakers. A 10 year old speaker would cost more than a year old one :-). Some picky ones would buy a brand new one and let it run a couple of days so that bass drivers could be less punchy!

@Odhiambo, the audio giants prefer an AV Receiver NOT to come with speakers, that way, they can go out and buy the best speakers as per their needs. Onkyo may make excellent AVR, but not necessarily the best speakers. Its like the best of both worlds; best AVR + best speakers = audio heaven.
However, some AVRs do come with speakers.
Not only can that Yamaha play movies, it can also play Blue Ray discs, comes with an SD card slot and USB slot as standard. So yes, it can play movies.

@Odhiambo, the audio giants prefer an AV Receiver NOT to come with speakers, that way, they can go out and buy the best speakers as per their needs. Onkyo may make excellent AVR, but not necessarily the best speakers. Its like the best of both worlds; best AVR + best speakers = audio heaven.

Are guys already watching movies on Blu-ray disks locally already - as in they are already being sold locally? At how much? Then again, me thinks keeping all those discs cause so much clutter/use space. I'd rather convert into mkv/mp4 formats and store in HDD.

Agreed. No need for Blu-ray, and and I don't need 3D:-) So WiFi,BT,NFC... hmmm. Actually, I have never used BT with an HT at all bar for the testing to see if it works. Let me go back to the drawing board and decide what I need in an HT, bar for the sound. For instance, my HT doesn't play MP4, MKV on the USB while the TV does. There must be such a system, that plays all formats on the USB (Flash or external disk) and has good enough sound for audio babies like me. I think they will not make it, or if they do, it will not make economic sense for most people because of the price. On 13 March 2014 15:35, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

@Odhiambo, the audio giants prefer an AV Receiver NOT to come with speakers, that way, they can go out and buy the best speakers as per their needs. Onkyo may make excellent AVR, but not necessarily the best speakers. Its like the best of both worlds; best AVR + best speakers = audio heaven.

Not only can that Yamaha play movies, it can also play Blue Ray discs, comes with an SD card slot and USB slot as standard. So yes, it can play movies.

This feels like it is going to a thread we had back in the day. An engagement with one contributor known as Aki who has been MIA or changed emails, who knows. Anyway the argument then was about quality of compressed media vs DVD that was then. But I believe whatever rocks your boat, I mean there are people (not me) who feel satisfied watching a camera copy or even an R5 rip of a movie. Though I have one, I don't like all-in-one systems, my argument in example being is that when the next media format LG will not just sell you a BD unit upgrade since you already have their speakers. I vouch for AVRs plus I think they look pretty neat beneath the screen. On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 3:35 PM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

Invest on a Media player like WDTV Live. They are constantly updated on file formats. Convert all DVDs/BlueRay disc to any format you like. WDTV Live can also play .iso files. Save these files in an external HDD or NAS and stream the AV media or physically attach the HDD to the media player. Invest on an amp and good speakers to get the best possible audio. @Wash, BDV-N9900 = 86K DAV-SZ1000 = 51k DAV-DZ940 = 44K DAV-DZ950 = 40K ONO.

Indeed @wash The other day i sat in the study and wanted to do some clean-up. I realized i have audio CD/OS/Server configs (asterisks/email/http/routers)/photos/movies/ dating back to 2004 when i fist started pinging.
Alas! 75 % (over 300 disks) of any of those i couldn't use any more like redhat 9, fedora 3, windows me/win98/ubuntu 6/7/ etc. The i said, let me see what and what can open - about 75% of those disks were unusable - scratches, dirt, h/w incompatibility and the like. The question still lingers, does one really need cd/dvd/blue-ray(*maybe this is diffrent, dont even knw how it looks like) *in the modern age? Of what i could save/like i converted to my 1TB HDD which didn't even litter my house :) Kind Regards, Wilson./
Unauza how much Wash, si iko na bluetooth? For me, a PC can play everything, all I need the damn home theatre or sound system is to play my audio well, and clearly, and in this age, to support some sort of wireless audio input.

@Wash - the best thing that ever happened to me is Bluetooth on a home theatre!

For me, a PC can play everything, all I need the damn home theatre or sound system is to play my audio well, and clearly, and in this age, to support some sort of wireless audio input.

I turned my focus on home theatres after visiting a friend and experiencing nice bass from his home theatre at a low volume.
I'm keen on clarity and bass at low volumes :-)
Also, I need something with bluetooth or DNLA so that I can play and stop music from my bed, or from other locations in the house.

In fact, with AV receivers some audiophiles are very particular with speakers. A 10 year old speaker would cost more than a year old one :-). Some picky ones would buy a brand new one and let it run a couple of days so that bass drivers could be less punchy!

@Dennis, if you are connecting your PC to the home theatre via the normal 3.5mm jack, your chances of getting awesome sound are significantly reduced. However, if your sound card has S/PDIF output, then your chances are much better. In an ideal situation, you want to transfer the audio signal in digital format from source to destination and avoid converting to/from analog, since this is where most awesomeness is lost. Say, do you have a remote for your PC? @ndungu stephen, I have forwarded your questions to the guy, when he replies I will update you.

Ok3ch, You did not mention that you work for KPLC in the highest echelons and so electricity is significantly subsidized for you and so you do not need to power things off as you leave the house:) I actually do not use BT so much - in fact very rarely.

Hmm, Not sure I am ready to invest in both speakers and an AVR, though at some point was planning on buying some JVC divers in Luthuli, including a dual cone subwoofer and building cabinets for the same.
I turned my focus on home theatres after visiting a friend and experiencing nice bass from his home theatre at a low volume.
I'm keen on clarity and bass at low volumes :-)
Also, I need something with bluetooth or DNLA so that I can play and stop music from my bed, or from other locations in the house.

Audiophiles do have some strange descriptions. Its quite hard sometimes to put into words, much like wine tasting :-). Someone made an attempt at explaining here http://dtmblabber.blogspot.com/2010/07/audiophile-buzzwords-dicey-subject.ht...
In fact, with AV receivers some audiophiles are very particular with speakers. A 10 year old speaker would cost more than a year old one :-). Some picky ones would buy a brand new one and let it run a couple of days so that bass drivers could be less punchy!

Dennis, go take that HT906 I posted earlier. I have decided to keep mine after seeing these prices posted by Mwagiru:-) Paycuts cannot allow the purchase at this time.

I've been looking around to see which device does what for some time now, and surely the AVR's are truly worth way more than the HT in a box. Onkyo specifically has great prices (only saw online) and the features are great including inbuild WiFi and DLNA support. Recently, they have introduced a small device which also adds support for Airplay (Onkyo has been notorious at leaving this feature out). If you amplifying all your audio and video (with upscaling) signal with >5 HDMI inputs, RCA's if needed, optical audio e.t.c and never having to unplug cables, then these AVR's are the thing for you. AV Forums<http://www.avforums.com/> does great discussions on the same. For your 3D / Bluray needs - a PS3 will do great and the output goes up to 7.1 channel sorround sound which is extremely good. Of course you can start with 5.1 sorround or even 2.1. See this <http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-13817_7-6462511-4.html> to understand the soundtracks and decoding better. AV Receivers also let you future proof, and even more important is selecting right speakers because whether they are 10 years old or brand new, good quality will stand out. Most important pieces are the center-channel, the sub(s), the front-right and front-left. These carry the greatest weight of the audio system. You can get alot of sound testing clips on youtube which will help you test each and every speaker on its own and even complex sorround effects whether buying an AVR or a HT in a box.

Guys, a correction to my earlier post... the Yamaha YHT498 does NOT have slot for DVD/BD, but it does have a USB slot. I am yet to confirm if it has a slot for SD card. My apologies for the misinformation. On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 5:57 PM, Mike Muraguri <mickie.mic@gmail.com> wrote:
I've been looking around to see which device does what for some time now, and surely the AVR's are truly worth way more than the HT in a box. Onkyo specifically has great prices (only saw online) and the features are great including inbuild WiFi and DLNA support. Recently, they have introduced a small device which also adds support for Airplay (Onkyo has been notorious at leaving this feature out).
If you amplifying all your audio and video (with upscaling) signal with >5 HDMI inputs, RCA's if needed, optical audio e.t.c and never having to unplug cables, then these AVR's are the thing for you. AV Forums<http://www.avforums.com/> does great discussions on the same. For your 3D / Bluray needs - a PS3 will do great and the output goes up to 7.1 channel sorround sound which is extremely good. Of course you can start with 5.1 sorround or even 2.1. See this <http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-13817_7-6462511-4.html> to understand the soundtracks and decoding better.
AV Receivers also let you future proof, and even more important is selecting right speakers because whether they are 10 years old or brand new, good quality will stand out. Most important pieces are the center-channel, the sub(s), the front-right and front-left. These carry the greatest weight of the audio system.
You can get alot of sound testing clips on youtube which will help you test each and every speaker on its own and even complex sorround effects whether buying an AVR or a HT in a box.

Ok3ch,
You did not mention that you work for KPLC in the highest echelons and so electricity is significantly subsidized for you and so you do not need to power things off as you leave the house:)
I actually do not use BT so much - in fact very rarely.
Dennis, go take that HT906 I posted earlier. I have decided to keep mine after seeing these prices posted by Mwagiru:-) Paycuts cannot allow the purchase at this time.

I've retreated for further consultation following the barrage of information received. The downside of most AVRs seems to be lack of Bluetooth/DLNA support. The Yamaha's seem to support lots of connectivity functions, though Bluetooth is only supported through a module costing $70 . Yamaha also bundles their AVRs with speakers.

Dennis, forget the confusion. Go for either the LG HT906 or Sony DAV-DZ950 <http://www.sony-mea.com/product/dav-dz950>. The DAV-SZ1000W <http://www.sony-mea.com/product/dav-sz1000w> has no Bluetooth! If you want to spend more on features you really don't need like Blu-ray, then go for the BDV-N9100 <http://www.sony-mea.com/product/bdv-n9100w>, not the N9900SH <http://www.sony-mea.com/product/bdv-n9900sh>. The only difference between the N9900 and N9100 is a small feature about being able to filter out stadium noise and commentators when watching football - and the color of the speakers. If you ask me, it only makes sense to go for the N9xxx if you don't have a Smart TV. If you have a TV like the Sony W674A, then getting the N9xx or even the n8100w is redundant because they are just about connectivity to Sony Entertainment Network. Trust me, I did this research for you last evening - and so you owe me a cold one from Jeremiah's tanks! Oh, you can now delve into the AVRs, if you like.

Thuo, For sure! If you looked closely, all we need are media players and speakers. By 'we', I mean all these freaking techies here. As long as they have a WD Media Player like you, they don't need anything else, but try and tell them that<LOL> BTW, can anyone recommend a good URC (Universal Remote Control) which is inexpensive but works a treat.

If you have a TV like the Sony W674A, then getting the N9xx or even the n8100w is redundant because they are just about connectivity to Sony Entertainment Network. Trust me, I did this research for you last evening - and so you owe me a cold one from Jeremiah's tanks!
Oh, you can now delve into the AVRs, if you like.

The downside of most AVRs seems to be lack of Bluetooth/DLNA support.
The Yamaha's seem to support lots of connectivity functions, though Bluetooth is only supported through a module costing $70 . Yamaha also bundles their AVRs with speakers.

And im guessing while we are at it, Would the HT or AV receiver solve my HDMI issues? My tv has two ports, the dbox, zuku, and home theatre each has a hdmi, thinking of even adding a media player adds more nightmares cause i have to plug and unplug... Is there like a many to one configuration possible? Sent from my iPad

@Collins An AVR is the solution for you - decent ones come with 5 - 8 HDMI input ports and above and output video to TV/Projector and audio through speakers. The will also upscale video, and do all the amplification needed. General view is, the speakers bundled with a HTIB are in most cases pretty unusable with a AVR or even a simple audio amp - they cant handle an amp's output. Think of an AVR as an amplifier for audio (with video), while most HTIB's are, well... not really amps. You simply cannot compare the connections on an AVR with those of a HTIB. The AVR's also add radio tuners - if that counts. There's also support for other zones with the AVR's...

Two years ago, I decided to migrate from a Creative set of speakers and at the time, the best two sub 600 USD receivers were the Denon AVR1912 and the Onkyo TX-NR609
http://reviews.cnet.com/4504-4_7-0.html?id=34647681-34505271
http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AVR-1912-Channel-Streaming-Receiver/dp/B004U403X... I elected to go the Denon way after lots of research. I've been using one for the past two years (when kids allow one to use it :) and it's been completely fabulous.
http://reviews.cnet.com/av-receivers/denon-avr-1912/4505-6466_7-34647681.htm...
http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/denon-avr-1912-fl http://www.whathifi.com/review/denon-avr-1912
You can practically wire up anything with the i/o options. Here's a photo of the options available on the Denon AVR1912.
http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/denon-avr-1912-fl/AVR1912Back... * You also have HDMI 1.4 which means you can use one remote control to control any other connected HDMI 1.4 device (e.g. your bluray player to control your TV..). You have streaming from the net, DLNA, SPDIF input, Airplay, ethernet... etc Have a look at the newer model in this line:
http://usa.denon.com/us/product/pages/productdetail.aspx?catalog=denonna_us&...)
http://www.trustedreviews.com/denon-avr-1912_Surround-Sound-System_review
While you are at it, get yourself a decent set of speakers. Have a look at the Energy Take line.

Oh, you can now delve into the AVRs, if you like.

I've retreated for further consultation following the barrage of information received.
The downside of most AVRs seems to be lack of Bluetooth/DLNA support.
The Yamaha's seem to support lots of connectivity functions, though Bluetooth is only supported through a module costing $70 . Yamaha also bundles their AVRs with speakers.

Oliver, You have span a different thread. The thread most of us are already hopelessly entangled in:-) It hasn't been a walk in the park (My Dexter's lab had to go, for instance) but things have since settled. In my household, they had to go through a steep learning curve of toggling remote controls, disabling Dolby Digital/ DTS for non-surround movies/music sources, using mobile apps when the kid hangs on to RC, streaming movies/music/pics to the TV via DLNA or Airplay,etc. Everyone's happy now.Or not. Its reached a point where family time is actually outside the house not inside. Sigh. I'm looking for a group, much like the AA. Anyone?

@Washington Yes some AV Receivers do come with speakers, but not all, most of the time you have to go looking for a set of good speakers separately. And they do not play movies sadly.

Dennis, Hotpoint has this LG unit - http://www.lg.com/ae/audio/lg-HT906TA- available at Hotpoint. I just called someone there who confirms this is successor to HT965 that I have and the specs seems to agree.
In the meantime, I'd like to ask the audio giants this - does the AV receivers also come with the speakers? Do they also play movies? Excuse my ignorance on them.

So, After more than 6 years of listening to music on my Creative SBS A300s and Logitec/Sennheiser earphones , I think I'm becoming deaf and therefore no longer in a position to appreciate the bass in the Creatives.
I would like to replace them with a hometheatre that offers some great sound reproduction in the 50 Hz range upwards.
However, I am surprised that most of what I am seeing here ( http://www.jumia.co.ke/home-theatre/) does not offer bluetooth pairing or even DNLA.
I thought stuff in this age should even have a mobile app to control the damn thing? Are the Koreans and Japanese running out of steam?

I would recommend building an android-based system yourself. Am currently doing this for my car and the results are spectacular so far. The pros of this approach; - You can spec out the system with the best of the best (amps, woofer, mids, tweeters, cabling, eq, x-overs etc.) - Android, especially with the right hardware, is a beast. You get all the flexibility and media support that you would need for a long long time - all you need to know is how to flash and test the latest ROMs - $$aving$$ Regards, *Kevin* On 8 November 2016 at 11:00, Alvin Ochola via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

If you have cash saved up and are willing to wait for the long shipping time from Dubai or the US (~2 months), go high end and get some Definitive Technology <https://www.definitivetech.com/> speakers. Their BP series have in-built powered sub-woofers for left, right and center channels (yes, the center speaker has a powered sub). Definitely worth it if you're looking to go high end, they have some sound bars as well, but I've no input to offer on their audio quality, but knowing Deftech, they're probably pretty good as well.

If Dubai then there are some guys in Diamond Plaza who can get the product in a week.

Their BP series have in-built powered sub-woofers for left, right and center channels (yes, the center speaker has a powered sub). Definitely worth it if you're looking to go high end, they have some sound bars as well, but I've no input to offer on their audio quality, but knowing Deftech, they're probably pretty good as well.

The pros of this approach; - You can spec out the system with the best of the best (amps, woofer, mids, tweeters, cabling, eq, x-overs etc.) - Android, especially with the right hardware, is a beast. You get all the flexibility and media support that you would need for a long long time - all you need to know is how to flash and test the latest ROMs - $$aving$$ Regards, Kevin On 8 November 2016 at 11:00, Alvin Ochola via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote: It's been there for decades !
