Thanks mate, that's an impressive setup in the link but yeah it does seem a bit cold. Perhaps its to do with too much electronics on show at the front, plus maybe not enough colour. I would have at least hidden some of the stuff at the front. Looks kind of cluttered, but still impressive.

I've replaced my much loved 3 year old Kef 3005 speaker system with the B&W 685 Theatre package (keeping the Kef sub for now).
My kit :
Pioneer Kuro 50"
Foxtel (sends to bedroom)
Foxtel HD
PS3
Toshiba HD DVD Player
Panasonic DVR
Onkyo TX-SR805
Fronts : B&W 685
Centre : B&W HTM62
Rears : B&W 686
Sub : Kef HTB2SE
I loved the Kef's for what they were but these are just another level entirely. Such a full sound and makes old songs I haven't heard for a while (in stereo mode) seem new again.
Just listened to the 5.1 DTS 96/24 version of Bohemian Rhapsody and it was immense
Really nice speakers! Ever thought of a projector in the room? You've got plenty of space for it
You could have the screen on the wall above the tv.Really nice speakers! Ever thought of a projector in the room? You've got plenty of space for it
Thanks. Yeah I could get a 100" projector screen in that space easily. I've been studying full time since February so may have to get back to work in order to spend any more money.....

Jaap74...nice pad you have there.
Thanks. It's actually the granny flat at my parents place. Been living in here since I moved back from the UK end of 2007. I think I am a little too comfortable in here to be honest
Should really post a pic of my lounge. It's not an amazing home cinema set up, more a nicely integrated, room fitting, high quality solution. Here's the equipment:
Audio I Pioneer PD-S505 Precision I Rotel RA-971MkII I Quad 12L2 I BK Gemini II I
Visual I Pioneer Kuro KRL-37V I Xbox 360 250Gb HDMI I Toshiba SD-370 HDMI I

Love the Hepburn canvas as well as the setup.
That was chosen by the ex. Goes well with the room so I've left it there

Those sofas look like something out of the 70's! They look damn comfy though.
Just got my new pre amp. Hope people don't think i got the one with huge knobs to compensate for something... It truly is something to admire though.

Here's an update to my cinema setup.
I now have a new Beamax screen, along with a new reciever, the Sony 2400es.
The speakers are q acoustic 2020's at the front with 2010's at the back. The sub is a BK 200xls.
Will try and get some more pics when I have time
What movie is that?

Just got an ND-S1 Ipod transport for my DACs
Gosh the sound is so good. I can finally leave my PC switched off

Sexy, am i right in thinking it doesnt have analogue outs?

Yep thats right. Pure uninterrupted 1s and 0s
Onkyo do a cheaper one for £60 which has dual RCA out.

Nice, i always considered the Wadia transport with a Dac but have ended up with a SB setup so not much point spending so much on the ipod side anymore
