4k120? For gaming?

Who makes media content at that resolution and framerate?

I ended up getting a really good deal on a Denon x2800h and some Bentley speakers from ave1994. The service was also really good and I had my goodies in a few hours ready to setup after ordering online with collection.

Please report back on the Bentleys, I've only ever heard good things about them

I'm probably the wrong one to ask as its been a long time since I've had anything considered decent. I am perfectly happy with them so far though.
Been running through some higher bitrate movies and some lossless music of various genres and the experience is very solid. I certainly could have done worse for more money.

Yep, they are upfront about this on their (dodgy looking) website, they don't specifically use "grey import" but I guess you deduce that from their wording.

This does however is maybe limiting when it comes to warranty/service, as if they ever go bust I doubt any other place would be interested in helping with it. I guess that's a decision I need to weigh.

Only the products marked as Direct IMPORT or Parallel import are the ones we import ourselves, the rest are all local stock from agents with 2 year warranty. We have international warranties on everything we import, so even if we go "bust" which is highly unlikely after more than 30 years, you can still have it repaired. Direct imports are offered as an alternative, for you, the customer to choose weather you want a local unit at R89000 or exact same unit but with a 1 year warranty at R45000

Simply put, there is NOTHING which can touch Bentley speakers at the price. We took 2 years to develop a speaker which sound better than the competition but at half the price. Remember there are no import duties/freight charges etc that we have to pay, so we can sell a speaker worth 30k for 15k.

I have quite a large open-plan bedroom. And had an extra amp and a pair of Bentley FS-150s standing idle. Decided to set them up in my bedroom. The Bentleys keep on delivering amazing results.

Note: Used while getting ready in the mornings. Shiit, shave and shampoo jams.
