ThereIs0nly0ne -: Lovely Meridian kit, never heard any M Kit

Thanks strocky. It's certainly stood the test of time and still sounds great. Flexibility and integration is what made me so attracted to it - it does music and movies equally well.

Yea at least a 50" Plasma is next on my list.

strocky, nice amp, heard really good things about ARC.

Cheers, ARC definetly helps when you've got a pig of a room, even my mate who has Linn separates was impressed

Awful pictures, but anyways - getting my kit setup in my new (bigger!) home!

Got the rears and sides up, really happy with the neat cabling job, just a pity the bigger room makes my 60" look smaller lol

What speakers are those?

And what model of SVS sub do you have?

JonnyGLC · 4 Sep 2012 at 13:46

I can't get along with those subs, i don't care how good they sound they look so out of place!

What model are those surrounds? I'm looking for di/bi/tri/omni sides and bar the MA BXFX and RXFX there's not much choice in the UK when it comes to affordable (for me) speakers.

Also SVS sub = winrar.

So, you can afford a massive TV and awesome surround sound setup, but you can't afford a lamp shade?

I have some MA BRFX for sale on AVF, much cheaper than buying RXFX and they sound good. Only changed as I wanted matching KEF all round.

Pah, just moved in - lampshades are waaaaay down my list

As for the surrounds, they're Monitor Audio GSFXs, sub is the SVS PC-Ultra

Haven't got my GS-60s out yet, as i don't want them trashed

Somnambulist · 4 Sep 2012 at 17:47

Ha, cassssshhhh. Going to put any room treatment in there or WAF to consider?

I have no idea what my HT set up will be like - I have a dedicated two-channel set up that I'm keeping entirely separate - so starting from scratch. I'd love to do a DIY cylinder sub but truthfully I'll probably get either an SVS or BK. Rears... as said, room layout probably warrants two side speakers like the MA's that can produce direct and diffuse surround around/behind me, then I want a matched front three for the stereo pair and centre as I dislike centre speakers (form by necessity over function) and had my TV unit built to accomodate a traditional bookshelf/standmount in the middle under the screen... although it ill have to be angled up slightly but that's less of a compromise than a typical centre speaker anyway. Too much choice though!

Not decided on the décor yet. I'd looooooooove to get a nice star ceiling done (either painted, or fibre optic) but that's a bit optimistic i think

Today bought B&W dm601 S2. Top speakers.

Stargate… Good man!!!

I religiously have been re-watching this entire series for the past few years…. Watch 2 eps every Saturday night after a good session on the PC and a few beers!

Hah, you joke, but you can actually get some good results like that! Although artistic talent is required - therefore I'm steering well clear

That looks nice al4x !

Me and the gf are watching it through, I never saw all the series before, think it went to sky 1
Haven't seen much of the ori stuff, up to season 7, never had 5.1 before and it makes such a difference

Next is farscape.. On blu ray
