Premier AV HF0042 Cost me £48 do a google search, Highly recommended, didnt put on the cable tidy thing at the back cos it was getting in the way of my connector on the back of the amp.

Looking for more of a Hi-Fi type rack, but might end up having to get a small TV stand anyway.

Haha, tell me about it man. I dust it and use a microfibre cloth on the bezel surfaces and within a few hours there's a layer of dust on it. Now that i have white wooden blinds its not so noticeable as the room is flooded with light but i still have to dust it down once a day :rolleyes:

Agreed after I have done the fluffy duster routine and damp cloth followed by kitchen towel rub down, I have a small release lol.

I think I may have a compulsive disorder!

What is this dust you mention?

Recent pic of my system, taken as I have dusted it recently!

I'm really happy with it, so much so I have lost the upgrade bug and short of adding a Hi-Line or a Hi-Cap I might just leave it as it is.

Oh dear, my PC-Ultra arrived today - i didn't realise i'd have to build an extension to accomodate it

Epic, epic sub

I take it you will be getting REW fired up so you can find the best place to put your sub ?

OCdude · 10 May 2009 at 20:55

For sure

But I think im going to wait until i've used Audyssey to calibrate everything first..... or maybe I should do the sub first......

REW looks pretty scary, so I think i'll just enjoy the initial 'wow' factor for a bit, then hopefully it'll seem even better when i get round to calibrating it with REW

As for placement, my initial thoughts are either where the plant is, or a little further back, next to the sofa.

It's weird, some articles say literally tell you to get on all fours and see where the bass sounds best.... whereas the SVS manual says

SVS Manual said:
Location. They say it’s ALL about location right? It’s the same with
subwoofers. So, where to put it? Go for a corner if you can, and avoid
putting your sub where it might adjoin large open areas. Studies have
shown that the deepest and flattest bass response is typically attained
when a subwoofer is placed within a few feet of one of your room’s
corners (leave about 3” in the back for cable clearance with any wall or
other surface). A corner near your favorite seat is often the best location
of all. Whether you put the sub in front or to the rear of your seating
area makes surprisingly little difference. Deep home theater bass, like
that from “5.1 channel” DVDs is non-directional. You can’t tell where
it is coming from, even though you can hear, and feel it.

Going to put the black cloth at the back of the unit once I have got my Blu-Ray player as I can tidy up all of the wiring.

Nice setup Simon

I guess not having the Rover has given you something else to spend money on
