Steve Back in Black is an absolute classic, as previously mentioned, however, give Overdose a spin, track 6 on Let There be Rock, DC's fourth studio album (1977). I've heard this track a thousand times but it still makes the hair on my neck stand up. The recording's a little bright but the...

Thanks for the replies, Sorry guys, I can't measure (or count) :doh: the kitchen dimensions are 4m x 7m and the ceiling is about 2.75m high. Yes, I thought big room, little (but great) speakers, why not use all four. The speaker would be wall mounted, with their supplied brackets, 2...

Hi guys Any thoughts or experiences with a Marantz M-CR603 driving four B&W M1s (new style)? Just a simple DAB/CD kitchen set-up, a speaker in each corner, angled to centre. Room dimensions roughly 4m x 5m - could also involve a small sub if recommended. Already have M1's and can purchase the...

Just a quick update after listening to CA's Minx, MA's Mass and B&W's M1s. I was amazed by the big sound of the M1s, even without a sub, so I bought 3, centre, left and right. 2 rears, with stands and then a sub, hopefully later in year. Really impressed with how the three little units throw...

Hi guys, thanks very much for the info, lots of diversity as usual. I should have mentioned that my plan is to incorporate a Beresford TC-7220, so I can “share” my RS1s with both the Brio R and my Denon AVR 1910 - sorry. Anyway, reading through your comments, my options appear to be: 1...

Hi Everyone I want to add a centre and two rear surrounds to a pair of Rega RS1s, but I don't have the space for similar sized units. Can I use Q acoustics 7000, CA Minx or a similar sized setup, or is the golden rule that you always add the same brand? Anyone successfully integrated different...

I might get the same cables for my Rega setup then. Not sure if the fridge freezer will get them down to 2 kelvin though.

I bet Brian Cox could settle this for sure, or one of his mates from the LHC. They'd probably have a view on this year's wasp population, too.

Hi Hammill (and John) Thanks for the advice. I have finally transferred a handfull of fav CDs (flacs) on to my laptop and connected it directly into my Homehub2. Comparing the two computer sources, I immediately noticed a more detailed, open presentation to the music, even with complex tracks...

Hi Mark If the two systems are fairly close, could you run a set of HQ stereo phono cables from the Blu Ray to amp? Regards

Hello I have an SBT connected to my router (BT Home hub) and my music source are flacs streamed from a PC that’s attached to a 5 port wireless hub, several rooms away from the Home hub and hifi. I love the sound quality of the Touch > Brio R > RS1s, but sometimes, with ‘busy’ music, it can...

I agree, also just bought one - fantastic little gadget.

Hi My personal experience is that my Squeezebox Touch, receiving bit-perfect flacs completely outshines my Apple TV2, playing lossless or wav formats. All files are streamed wirelessly from a PC, several rooms away from my hifi. I hope to further improve the quality, however when I introduce a...

Yes, I think I'll do that - get the SBT set up properly before I consider a DAC.

Just a quick update on my purchases... Finally purchased a Rega Brio R, a pair of Rega RS1s and a Squeezebox Touch. I found that I could listen to the Rega kit for longer periods, fluid, musical and dynamic, but not overly detailed - IMHO - I love it!!! My Planar 3 sounds amazing (not played...
