Hi Kachi22 - the boards are teak, the black is just a light cotton material that doesn't (shouldn't) have any impact on the sound. It is merely cosmetic - but it is hiding panel traps (both high and low) and some absorption (Owens corning #703) In the corners there are 6" of OC #703. To be...

Hi Kach 22i - I have attached some pics. One where the room is empty when I first revamped it (December2017) Also the listening chairs and some of the wall posters...cheers for now, Steve

Thanks Brad. That is very informative. I was not aware of the difference in the output tubes - I see the Ref 750 uses KT150 tubes so that may be the way to go! I still need to do some research and it may take a while before any decisions are made..

Hi Brad. I would like to get your opinion on a couple of things. I see that you are using AR Ref 610T amps. I may have an opportunity to purchase some used (and possibly Ref 750's). I also see that at one point you were considering changing to other (smaller) AR amps but you obviously decided to...

Baie dankie!! Pleasantly surprised to hear Afrikaans from the States!

Thanks - I am new to the brand. There is no dealer / distributor in South Africa but I contacted Playback Designs and dealt directly with Andreas Koch who is the CEO and he was really great to deal with and arranged the shipping. I received mine mid March this year, so it's still settling in...

I will certainly do so. It is a long story but I will post some pictures of the sound room and the speakers etc. as they transformed over time.

Hi Jonfo. I'm not surprised that you're one of the first to respond to my post - I know you are a proponent of Active bi-amping and the Venu 360. You were one of the MLO members that inspired me to go the active X/O route and it is a great upgrade which I would highly recommend to anyone able to...
