Something that works being a cable that transmits the signals through all the equipment with minimal degradation. If it's good enough for Abbey Road and doesn't cost a packet it'll do for me!

I concur. Van Damme cable is more than sufficient (or any other oxygen free copper cable, think Kabel Direkt are a good alternative). It's used in recording studios which says it all. Usually 2.5mm squared is sufficient unless very long length or very large amount of current. Can use 4mm but...

Gone up in price then!

If you have decent ambient light in a bright room then LCD is a very good option. Also if you game a lot. It's all personal of course, but I prefer OLED as I prefer tele at night in a fairly dim room. When I start watching with the lights on I'll get a mini RGB LCD. Can always turn the...

Much speed increase?!

Indeed! The extra amp oomph should make them crackers! Be a very good sub I imagine!

Almost certainly, stock is low on PB-3000 though so people will need to be quick!

Well it'll work using the Sony as a centre speaker, but it'll sound odd compared to the JBL's. In a surround setup it's desirable (or essential if you're looking for the optimum sound) for your front three speakers to have the same timbre. Anything panning across the front soundstage will sound...

What is your speaker setup currently?

Van Damme cables for me, blue for home cinema and the clear for hifi. Not sure there is a sonic difference but the blue is much easier to work with!

I would ask KEF. I had an issue with my Quad speakers a few years back, a model they haven't made for about fifteen years, and they were able to supply me with a new woofer.

That's expensive speaker cable @Gel Man! 🙂

Why the change of equipment? Seems a sideways and possibly slightly backward step to me...any changes in sound quality are likely to be fairly minimal, even with revealing speakers.

Hi Gel. I went to Richer Sounds but after buying they called to say they didn't have one in stock. They offered me a used unit for 10% off (list was £1599) so £1439 total. Wanted a new one so went to AV.com and paid £1599.

A 75 inch for me...if it comes in that!
