Re: My Computer Speakers Died
Now that's the sort of information I'm interested in, I've ordered a pair of Soundsticks 2, they're easily available on eBay. I understand that the Soundsticks have touch volume controls on the speakers so that explains why you control the volume from the computer itself, nothing wrong with that. I've only ever found 1 good set of Bluetooth Speakers and that was the Bose Sound Link and the price was quite good for a Bose product at $330.00. I'm going to try the Braven 650 Bluetooth Speaker in a few weeks, thist unit also gets very good reviews and is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible.

Re: My Computer Speakers Died
If you're looking for a nice portable speaker, I'd say go for the Desaia Beat Box. Rechargeable battery that lasts for ages, bluetooth compatible with iOS devices, with previous/next and play/pause buttons, and it has a 3.5MM input on it as well so it can also be used with devices that don't support bluetooth. For the size and the price of it, it's a great speaker.

Portable Bluetooth Speaker Systems
Are these speakers Bluetooth 4 compatible? So many aren't but the Braven 650 speaker system I mentioned is. Bluetooth 4.0 sounds far better than previous versions and later devices should be compatible with it, certainly iPhone 5, 2012 and later Macbook machines and Samsung Galaxy S3 and later are compatible, I'll be using a Bluetooth Speaker system with my Samsung Galaxy S3 so having something which is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible is important to me.

Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound receiver, Accessible Via An App
Hi! Here's a message I sent to a Mac discussion list, the message doesn't specifically discuss Mac's or iPhones, rather the eMail discusses a very nice Denon AV Receiver I have and how I manage to access it, thought the list would be interested and apologies if the message isn't quite on topic. snip I've had the Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound Receiver for just over 3 months now and - with the help of the Denon remote App - the device is a joy to use, I can use much of the functionality of the Receiver without the App but using the app gives me so much access to so much more information on the receiver, its status and its functions than the remote controller alone could do. There are many points to this Receiver and - in some ways - I really do think that the word Receiver' is the wrong word to describe such a unit, perhaps Entertainment or Media Center would be more accurate. The Receiver has built-in Internet radio thanks to the vtuner Internet radio system, allows access to Spotify, Last.Fm and so forth through the menu system of the Receiver and through the Denon Remote app itself, you can even access Podcasts and video services such as Flicker. I won't write at length about the functionality of the Receiver through the app as this would take around 3 weeks to sum up so perhaps if people are interested enough then they can ask specific questions and I'll do my best to answer them given the fare knowledge I now have of the Receiver gained over the last 3 months. I would like to touch on what I regard as being an incredible feature of this Receiver and its associated app and that is the built-in FM tuner and the tuners RDS feature. RDS stands for Radio Data System, this allows for transmission of data on the FM band using a sub carrier of a transmitter, for example BBC Radio 4 could transmit data alongside the audio signal which might display the name of the current aired programme, the current time of day and so forth. Smooth FM might use the RDS to display the current title and artist of the track playing or what the next track might be. In any event you can actually have your IOS device read the RDS data to you from the Remote App, this is the first accessible way I've seen of accessing RDS data. snip ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound receiver, Accessible Via An App
I'm not sure whether the Denon Remote App is developed by a third party, I used iTunes to search for the Denon Remote App. Actually I downloaded the app long before I bought the AVR2113 Receiver, I wanted to see if I could access the app and find out just how accessible the App was, thankfully the Denon Remote App had a Demo Mode so that gave me a lot of clues as to how accessible the App would be when i purchased the receiver, the Demo Mode of course didn't cover everything specific to the AVR2113 so many more pleasant surprises were in store for me smile. I hope you're enjoying your Denon product, I don't know anyone who hasn't enjoyed a piece of Denon equipment smile.

Re: My Computer Speakers Died
The satellite units are about a foot tal and two inches in diameter. They are round with the touch controls for volume on the right hand speaker. They appear to be two columns or sticks on your desk. They are good and heavy with about a 3 to 4 inch cylindrical base to them. The woofer looks quite like a small bee hive and sits on 3 or 4 small feet that allow sound to escape from under the unit. It really should be placed under a desk. The design is visually appealing and they are a part of the industrial design display at the NYC Museum of Modern Art. I believe they were originally intended to be used with one of the early Macs. I just read an ad/review of some new bluetooth/air play speaker/sound units from Cambridge Audio called MINX. The review made them sound interesting. - Original Message - From: Gary Wood k8...@att.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 5:51 PM Subject: Re: My Computer Speakers Died Why do they call them sound sticks? - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 12:57 AM Subject: My Computer Speakers Died Hi!

The set you mentioned seem okay and the other I'm looking at are the Bose Sound Air, you can buy an optional rechargeable battery pack for them if you want the Sound Air to be portable, move it from room to room etc. On 24/06/2013, at 11:30 AM, Clifford Blackwell blackwe...@ameritech.net wrote: The satellite units are about a foot tal and two inches in diameter.

Re: My Computer Speakers Died
I was able to find a brand new pair of my altech Lancing acs 340 speakers on ebay. If you can't find yours these are a good alternative. From what I have heard you describe your speakers the 340s may be a bit weeker than yours but they are still a good set of 2.1 speakers. - Original Message - From: Dane Trethowan grtd...@internode.on.net To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2013 1:57 AM Subject: My Computer Speakers Died Hi!

Here's a message I sent to a Mac discussion list, the message doesn't specifically discuss Mac's or iPhones, rather the eMail discusses a very nice Denon AV Receiver I have and how I manage to access it, thought the list would be interested and apologies if the message isn't quite on topic. snip I've had the Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound Receiver for just over 3 months now and - with the help of the Denon remote App - the device is a joy to use, I can use much of the functionality of the Receiver without the App but using the app gives me so much access to so much more information on the receiver, its status and its functions than the remote controller alone could do. There are many points to this Receiver and - in some ways - I really do think that the word Receiver' is the wrong word to describe such a unit, perhaps Entertainment or Media Center would be more accurate. The Receiver has built-in Internet radio thanks to the vtuner Internet radio system, allows access to Spotify, Last.Fm and so forth through the menu system of the Receiver and through the Denon Remote app itself, you can even access Podcasts and video services such as Flicker. I won't write at length about the functionality of the Receiver through the app as this would take around 3 weeks to sum up so perhaps if people are interested enough then they can ask specific questions and I'll do my best to answer them given the fare knowledge I now have of the Receiver gained over the last 3 months. I would like to touch on what I regard as being an incredible feature of this Receiver and its associated app and that is the built-in FM tuner and the tuners RDS feature. RDS stands for Radio Data System, this allows for transmission of data on the FM band using a sub carrier of a transmitter, for example BBC Radio 4 could transmit data alongside the audio signal which might display the name of the current aired programme, the current time of day and so forth. Smooth FM might use the RDS to display the current title and artist of the track playing or what the next track might be. In any event you can actually have your IOS device read the RDS data to you from the Remote App, this is the first accessible way I've seen of accessing RDS data. snip ** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound receiver, Accessible Via An App
Yes, its 7.1 and and 4K compatible, meets all your requirements and gave the Best Bang for your buck in receivers I could find, plenty of quality power and all the features you need without compremising quality. The receiver delivers 100 watts RMS per channel and you can use channel 6 and 7 as a second independent zone, for example you can have your 5.1 surround in your lounge room and use channels 6 and 7 in a second room with a separate source like a CD player etc. Has 6 HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output amongst a wide array of connection possibilities. The AVR2113 is far from Denon's top model but for the price of around $500.00 its very good value in my opinion.

best bluetooth speaker fore the money
I couldn't resist chiming in on this speaker discussion. I recently got a bluetooth and MP3 speaker that gives the most bang fore the buck. Its the Cambridge Oontz. Its only about the size of a soda can and has a passive radiator that allows it to go down in frequency to an amazing 60HZ. You can really feel the vibration at base frequencies when you touch the top of the speaker. You won't hear thumping base like from your stereo, but it is there especially if your close to it. The best thing though is how well balanced the sound is. It sounds really natural and plays loud with out distortion. Its solidly built and costs only $70 in the US. Its said to sound better than the Jamm box witch costs double that. Just thought you guys would like to know. Regards. Joe.

Re: best bluetooth speaker fore the money
That company make some good stuff and there are some real bargains to be had in the Bluetooth Speaker market, I bought a Uniden BTS50 for $20.00, it fits in your hand but has an incredible sound with the best speakerphone technology I've heard. However, I will be abandoning that now that I have Bluetooth 4.0 on a lot of my devices, most of these speakers are bluetooth 3.0 or even bluetooth 2.0, when you hear Bluetooth 4.0? Well you just won't want to go back, sounds just as good as Airplay. On 24/06/2013, at 2:54 PM, Joe n3...@hotmail.com wrote: I couldn't resist chiming in on this speaker discussion.
