Its much easier to blow good speakers with a crap amp than it is to blow crap speakers with a good amp.
No I don't mean your amp is crap

Correct, using an amplifier that is under powered can damage speakers, if you run out of power and it goes into clipping.
Also "good" speakers is irrelevant, it's the speaker design - impedance and sensitivity, not cost. His Kef, and my speakers are 4ohm.
If you get a speaker that is 4ohm and low sensivity, and it's a large room it's possible you can be going into clipping.

These guys did a 5.1.4 system - with 5 x 5160 - so there's something.
But still I'll wait for the professional installer to calibrate it

Today the floor was finished, the skirting and we got a new door on the hinges – yet to get a handle.
We cannot take living in the dining room anymore and are going to move into the lounge – even though the electrician hasn’t finished, we’ve also got to paint the skirting and do some touch ups.

Fantastic! I really think the blue works really well, the floor compliments it nicely.
I did wonder if you were going to break it up with white skirtying. Whilst some will argue its distracting. I am glad you did. Like you say. Its a living room when not in "movie mode"

hah, you speak too soon - we have not painted the door or skirting yet, it will be dark grey
Interesting. Well for what its worth. I think the white still looks nice
Yes I think the white does look nice, and we will see how it goes - there's still scope to change our mind, it won't be white white but an off white if we do.

Umm wooden floor for cinema room?
It's a living room
Thanks, will be stealing soon
Just had a quick google, were the boards pre-finished, or did you apply a nitro-ebony wax/stain yourselves?
They were finished boards from UK wood floors in Farnborough
As per the plans and where the speakers have been fitted, the screen is at the end opposite the internal door.
