Sure, but you could enjoy it better with active speakers, valves, and those gold-wrapped HDMI cables :-)

Can't believe that Television "Marquee Moon" hasn't made an appearance. Great album.

It's the scale/size of the projected image that is really impressive, completely occupying your attention and most of your field of view. And as it's a reflected image, it's (in my opinion) much less tiring on the eyes than a big tv. So if you can get 80" or more, then you'll be in for a treat!

That's very small for a projector - thought about a big TV?

My session yesterday was: Beck "Morning Phase" George Harrison "First Takes" Jesca Hoop "The House That Jack Built"

Doesn't everyone? :-)

I've had a new DAC XP+ arrive direct from Cyrus with the front buttons wedged in. The unit didn't work and had to go straight back. Cyrus were very attentive and responsive, a replacement unit fresh off the production line arrived a week later.

The KEFs are great. I have their ancestors in a smaller 5.1 setup in the house and am still pleased after many years. Go for bigger speakers if you have the space, but you won't be disappointed with the KEFs. The B&W MT50 are a bit more expensive but have received very good reviews too.

I use the Argos granite plinths (worktop protectors), with spikes from speakers into cups on the plinth, but nothing under the plinths (just the small antislip pads that are already on the plinths. To be honest, I think any bass booming etc from my speakers is more affected by other room...

Is this the one? http://www.cyrusaudio.com/product/accessories/ir14-remote-control Why is it better than the one that came in the box?

I had a hum too, through left speaker, as apparently the Rega P3-24 (and others?) earths through one of the speaker channels? When I rewired the arm with an isokinetic cardas silver wiring upgrade, with dedicated earth to the amp, the hum completely disappeared.
