Hi, Sorry to hear that. I hope you manage to get things sorted relatively stress free. If I get what I believe to be any suspicious calls in relation to your kit I will get in contact via the forum. Good luck. Chris

Everyone has pretty much answered this but I would add that the technical support sonos provide is second to none and the regular online updates are brilliant and keep it current. Sonos for me! Chris

Hi, With that sort of budget the worlds your lobster! Speakers to consider- Monitor Audio Platinum, KEf reference and B&W 800 series Sub-Paradigm or REL AV Amp- Anthem Statement (D2V and p5) more focussed on AV but very very good. Alternatively Arcam's Flagship or consider brands like...

Depending on when/where you got it from that model should have come with a 5 year warranty. Panasonic technical/service should be able to help. Chris

Hi, I had a conversation with them a couple of months back. If I remember rightly they have brought everything back in house and are currently reviewing their strategy for the UK. I think because it was sold "anywhere and everywhere" the product became devalued and I suspect one or two dealers...

Hi, B&W, KEF and Monitor Audio are a good starting point. I'm a big Monitor Audio fan so my preference would be RX6 if you are putting them up against a 684/685 but that depends on the room size aswell as positioning. The B&W IMO can be a little bass heavy in tighter areas or closer to walls...

HI all, Watched this last night expecting good things and I have to say I felt a little let down. I appreciate I'm probably going against the grain but it felt slow to start and I never really felt a great deal happened. Just my opinion! Chris

HI, I would go for the Pioneer BDP LX55. Chris

Hi Steve, Difficult one to answer. I always feel you need some sort of base even if its not a store to demo product, for credibility reasons as much as anything. The "man with a van" approach is certainly an interesting one although I do feel you would need a loyal and known customer base...

Yeah different company. They just had the one store at Preston selling AV/Hi fi.

Hi Andrew, Will do. Thanks, Chris

Hi, As an ex owner of a Sevenoaks franchise and now a Director of an online site with custom install I've seen both sides of the coin and been very interested by this thread. I know the guys at Sight and Sound and I'd like to say it is sad that another one has gone. I wish them all the best...

Hi Nick, Thanks for the welcome! Work at Sevenoaks? I'd love to work with Hi Fi but something tells me I'm not cut out for retail and I suspect it doesn't pay quite aswell as my current job! :) F

Quick tip for some of you. I've just walked passed Sevenoaks in Manchester and it looks like they are having some sort of clearance/closing down sale!!!? Anyone heard anything? Anyway, I noticed some rather tastey Monitor Audio Platinums in the sale. I know where my next wage is going :) Franklin
