Well, have now got everything except the subwoofer (now going to be an SBS SB-12)... ignore the cables they still need to be properly tidied and routed. And yes, I need to put pictures on the walls.
It's amazing how much the Zensor 3's speakers improved when I put them on proper stands (they were previously temporarily resting on dining chairs, heh). I still need to get some rubber feet for the center speaker which should also improve things a bit. The rears are on DJ monitor stands and to be honest I didn't think they would be as big from the photos I saw, they do the job perfectly well and are very stable but are a little overkill in terms of footprint and I may swap them out for something more discreet.
Sounds awesome. I really am very impressed with the Denon X1200W, for £250 you really can't ask for more from a new amp and it has more than enough power to blast out movies in my size room and also importantly sounds decent in stereo for my movie music. I will upgrade this at some point for sure as I used to have a much higher-end amp, but I'm certainly in no rush to do so.
I can't wait to get a sub set up, it really will tie everything together.
BK is easier to buy for us, if he's outside the EU it negates a lot of its bang for buck status when you need to pay big shipping fees.
I can't see Psycho's posts but I presume from yours that he was again harping on like a broken record about BK and essentially how much of an idiot I am for following any advice except his. Such a 'pleasant' guy.
I chose SVS as in the end I can get an SB-12 for the same price (actually a little lower at £430 when shipping and import duties are taken into account as I am indeed outside of the EU) as a BK XXLS400, and the SVS is more compact and ultimately as good as if not better than the BK. Clearly if there was a price difference it wouldn't be quite as appealing, but the release of the SB-2000 pushed the price of the SB-12 down very far so I am more than happy with that decision.
