a good thing i'm only 2m in front of it when i'm watching anything 
can you tell it's leaning towards hifi performance
currently deciding what's more worth my while (or is that money): getting a dedicated AV amp or getting the LCR60 to replace the awfull yam, and match the B&W fronts.... either would be around 200 squids, so hopefully if i put the decision off long enough i'll be able to afford both

My arms are still weak and i couldnt make a fist for a good 10mins after i walked across leicester with the L+R's here last weekend:-
Sound quality absolutely blew me away...bass is fast and tighter than a nuns arse, treble is crystal clear at high volume and im hearing things ive never heard before from CDs (not to mention now realising how crap MP3's are compared to the real thing).
Very happy Just need to get the THX 504 centre, move the one i have as a rear centre, and pick up some bipolar 903's for the rear surrounds.
