Thanks for the advice & tips for a virgin iTunes user, Picked up BitPerfect a few days ago & installed it onto my mac mini. After extended listening, I'm fairly convinced of an improvement over iTunes on its own. Things seem tidier and a little closer to the tightness of my old marantz 63 cd...

I'd recommend considering some of the older B&W centre speakers too. I used to have the CC6 on centre duty until plumping for the CDM CNT. Both were very pleasing to the ear and blended in well with my other B&W speakers. Admittedly, my speakers are rather older than yours but older B&W...

Thanks for the feedback on the mini. I'm tempted by BitPerfect but as I've never bought anything from the App Store, I was wondering whether there was any free App that come close to the functionality it has. Would paypal be the safest method of paying for BitPerfect? As I mentioned, I'm a...

That was quick....... thanks for the links..... Anyone out there heard these goliaths in action? (they are 48kg apiece)

Hi, I've been offered these mighty standmounters for 700euros.... Bargain or stay away? :? Not much I was able to find by googling; wondered whether anyone has experience of these beasties...

hello again, I'm still wondering what the best set up is for my mini. I'm referring to the Audio Midi set up on the Mac. For those that have a mac mini (mine was bought late 2013 & has 500gb - it's the cheapest model), does it make a difference which type of output I choose? Currently, I'm...

That sounds fantastic! I'm thinking about buying another pair of B&W ds6's off ebay with the intention of doubling the L/R surround channels. They're going cheap & I feel having an extra pair might fill things out even more. The current 11.2 set up is a little front heavy in terms of speakers...

"If you build it, they'll come........." Hi Son & Voodoo & Ideal, nice to see that there are some fellow 11.1/11.2 users about! I agree with the idea that having so many speakers doesn't necessarily mean a walloping great sound. Indeed, I can listen at lower volumes than my previous set-up &...

Hi once more, my marital status and the size of my abode are not up for debate, & Big Boss, was it really necessary to say that this isn't going to be a long thread? :roll: My goodness, can't we just wait to see whether there are some other 11.2 users out there? This forum seems to be full of...

Hello again, This really isn't a thread in which to discuss Dolby Atmos... if you want to, please start another thread. Additionally, I'm not interested in hearing from naysayers, there are enough threads on here like that anyhow. Let's hear from some fellow 11.2 users... there must be some...

Hello again, :wave: As you have probably already gathered, I run an 11.2 home cinema set-up. (see sig.) It's rather seldom that I hear from fellow 11.2 owners so I thought I'd try on here.... This thread should be for those who own or have owned such a set-up. I guess those who have...

Yo, So I finally picked up the Musical Fidelity X10 V3 tube buffer for a measly 100 euros. I've popped it in between my Denon 4311 & Audiolab 8000s. After about 3 hours of listening to my favourite tunes, I'm smiling. First, I listened without the buffer hooked up & played the "25 most played...

RE: TV vs Projector picture quality By biggest screen possible I was implying that the OP should go for the largest screen possible based on both the size of their room and their sitting position relative to the screen. I wasn't suggesting sitting 1 metre away from a 5 metre screen or...

oh 75"? Nonetheless, I'd go for a projector & the biggest screen possible if I were you. You can always buy a new tv later (I'm assuming you already have a tv in use) & you'll get a much bigger wow factor from the larger image. Plus you won't feel so guilty about splashing out your money when...

I would say that if you're considering a 65" projector screen, just buy a 65" tv. It's not only the picture quality but also the scale that is important with a projection screen. Anything over 90" is just so much more imposing and dramatic - any loss in PQ is quickly forgiven, not that there...
