    Urgent help: Klipsch RW-12D for 240V?

    I really hope you are right. but what do you make of the writings? what does "T3.15A 240V" mean? it does come with a removable cable. but the cable is your standard power cable that goes to computer desktops, etc. There is no adapter with the cable, so I don't think I need to change the cable.

    Urgent help: Klipsch RW-12D for 240V?

    Tks, yeah. I know that I cld get a transformer. But I rather not as it consumes more power and tends to be quite bulky. Anyway, wanted to find out abt the sub itself as it is mentioned that there is an export version, though I've not seen what the difference is between the 2.

    Recommendations: Hi-fi system for music (budget <$500)

    how do powered speakers like the Audioengine A5+ compare? and if I want to use the Boston Acoustics A26 instead, will it be sufficient to use the dragonfly DAC connected to the speaker? Or will I still need to an amp connected to the DAC?

    Recommendations: Hi-fi system for music (budget <$500)

    Tks glen. I do understand that my budget will not get me very far. But it is a start ain't it? So you are saying that the first things i should buy is a pair of amps to drive each speaker? But why can't a single amp be sufficient? I've no idea what you meant about running in bridged mode...

    Recommend compact HT setup (budget $3k)

    Appreciate any recommendations so I know where to start searching. I do not want bulky speakers as my apartment does not have the place for them. If the speakers can be wall-mounted, that wld be ideal. I actually use the speakers more for music than movies. Tks!
