ellisdj and gel Thanks both for your replies and discussion, I learned a lot, but please dont come to blows on my account!!! For your info I think I will not go to the 7007 until/if I fancy something with 3D (not for a while). I think I will try and play with the modes on the LX08 and see...

They do look very nice, and their pedigree suggests a good sound. I'll add to the list (and try and find a shop that demos them!). Thanks!

Hi All I have a (relatively new) setup with a cyrus 8xp powering some proac 140 (mk 1). As it burns in, it is sounding lovely, however I think the ProAcs are just a little too big for my room (about 12'x14' ish). Certainly my neighbours are beginning to think so... does anyone have a...
