    I finally took my 2017 C43 to a track day at Wakefield Park in Australia at the end of last year, absolutely loved it: https://imgur.com/KT7rv1l I will definitely go again this year. It was awesome to actually use my car to its fullest capability.

    Question re power output of these Onkyo Receiver

    I should have mentioned that my current receiver is on it's last legs. Only 2 HDMI inputs work and sometimes the surrounds don't produce any sound until I turn it off from the power point for a few minutes. Therefore getting a new receiver and separate amp for the floor-standers is not an option.

    Question re power output of these Onkyo Receiver

    Good suggestion however I have a very large 5.1 music collection so play about 75% stereo to 25% 5.1 so would forever be switching between the receiver / stereo amplifier I use Roon so like the fact that I can play anything from that via the receiver

    My mum has a circa 2007 SLK350 and it drives well, I don't think there have ever been any major issues with it. I'm 5ft 11 but I can't get properly comfortable in it, too cramped cockpit for me. Nice car though........

    Ultra-Wide monitor connecting to work laptop via VPN

    Thanks for the replies, all makes sense Another consideration, can my home PC run the display at the correct resolution in general ? Res is 3440 x 1440 and my video card is pretty old, its an AMD Radeon R7 200 series. Would that work ?
