I have the XXLS400 FF IN A 4x8 metre room, I have no neighbours to worry about so can let it run free. Honestly I thought I had done myself an injustice not getting the monolith. But the 400 is epic. There are snippets of films I still think damn I wish it could hit slightly lower. But...

I have recently bought the BK XXL400 for my dali set up and it is outstanding. For the price it really is a steal. It took a while to break in, but after a good week of running it well and truelly came alive. I had a demo of the Dali sub prior to buying the BK and it was good but just didn't...

Thanks all for your input, will have a play next week when I have time to fiddle. Have moved my listening position forward for now which isn't a long term solution but has improved things for now. Fingers crossed I can get it all sorted next week :grin:

I recently moved my lounge around after completing my system. I am now running a dali zensor 5 (5.1) with a BK XXLS400 Forward firing sub. I had flattish spots before with my layout but found an ok position to get my seating spot working well. Since I have moved it all it sounds grest up by...

Thanks for all your input. Have emailed BK for some recommendations and just Found a second hand one (XXLS400 df, 8 months old and colour of choice) on a used hifi website for £330. So will keep tabs on that. Gut feeling from all comments I have read on various forums is that with the BK I...

Thanks cnoevil, did not even think of that. Will give them a call next week :)

Looking to upgrade my sub, and wondered what others have (up to £500) which they would recommend. BK xxls400 is tempting, but demoing could be an issue. Was thinking also of the AE Neo V2 sub, from theWHF review it sounds like what I am after. I would much rather a good quality bass and lose a...

I am looking for approx 35 metres of speaker cable to finally reposition my rear surrounds. At the moment I'm after something cheap and came accross thatcables offerings. 0.75mm AWG21, 1.3mm AWG 16, or 2.1mm AWG 14 variants. The question I have is which would be best suited for my needs...

Have tried setting to mirror as you have described ric71, unfortunately still no joy. It plays the intro fine, and when it talks through aspect ratio etc, the timer comes up on tv indicating it working, and sound is played through amp. But no picture still. Tried direct into amp but will only...

Has on none else had issues with mirroring from their iPhone/iPad to Apple TV when running the app? The main intro mirrors when it starts up. But when going onto the set up sections it mirrors the sound but not the picture. I have the app set to mirror, so a tad confused. at least I...

Good evening all, Apologies in advance probably a really dumb question coming up. I have an Onkyo 616 amp and mordaunt short alumni surround speakers. I'm planning n upgrading the speakers over time and am looking to auction the Dali Zensor 1's to upgrade the surrounds. First of all the...

:) Thank for all to advice, greatly appreciated. Some great suggestions which I can put to work. I do think an audition of the kit I am considering could get her tempted. She is a massive movie fan and uses the system more than me. Now to lure her for a demo, may have to take her shopping...

My current Mourdaunt Short Alumni speakers just don't do it for me anymore. I'm dying to upgrade with the Jamo D500, Dali Zensor 5, and B&W 685 top of my list to audition. Slight fly in the ointment is my wife who doesn't see the point. So need some help with trying to convince her it is a...

Hi Bones, I have not heard the 608, but have just upgraded my 606 for 616, and I am running the Mordaunt Short Alumni 5.1 set speakers. It has made a massive difference to my system, the surround field is much bigger, it has more punch, dialogue is clearerr, and iI am now immersed into my...

Thanks Bill, lamp has under 1000hrs use so has fair bit of life left in it so I have been told. Shall pop round and have a look at it over the weekend I think and see how it looks. The chap also has a new HD projector do hopefully get a look at that in actin to compare. My funds are on the...
