    New house, new plans

    Is this really the best you could come up with? My empty coffee mug has still more creativity and sense of humour in it than you do. Are you 8 years old? Anyhow, I had my fun, thanks for replying bigboss

    New house, new plans

    I find open planned kitchen/living rooms more interesting to discuss, so what? Once I better understand why the topic starter decides to live like in a certain way we could go into his home cinema needs, there are far more pressing matters to discuss first. Bigboss, I got that you want to...

    New house, new plans

    I just can't imagine that... There must always be some land available to build, unless you live in/around London, no? What about renovating an existing house? But I mean renovating, not refurbishing. New concrete base,windows, extensions, insulated exterior walls etc.?

    New house, new plans

    No I don't necessarily agree . It all depends on how it was integrated in the kitchen and whether it was sufficiently powered. I have experienced people smoking under a modern island kitchin extractoor hood without ANY smell even in their near proximity. If your cooking creates a more pertinent...

    New house, new plans

    That's an interesting stance. So, you still put in single glazing in your house as well? Wood burning stoves as primary source of heating? You drive to work with a Ford Model T every day and use pigeons to send letters? How on earth did you manage to even reply to this thread??? I am getting...

    New house, new plans

    ... whilst you are watching a movie in the living room? Yes, if that's the way your family life is organized this setup makes sense, does not really sound 21st century though. If the builder sells like that I would never buy like that, my 2 cents. I don't see how your wife would not be able to...

    New house, new plans

    I continue to fail to understand why you would need two seating areas in an average size house like this one? Wouldn't it make more sense to just have one and create one large space downstairs, grouping the utility room and garage together? In Belgium you would just never find such a setup, it's...

    Rega dac versus stello DA 100 signature

    Although no replies, I still want to make a contribution to this forum. Instead of buying a new dac I took the plunge and bought myself a Behringer DEQ2496. Last weekend I got the chance to start measuring and putting in a curve after averaging on about 10 measurements. Although I was sceptical...

    Rega dac versus stello DA 100 signature

    Hi, I currently own a Stello DA100 signature but when I stream from my sonos connect I still sometimes have the feeling that although there is plenty of detail it sounds a bit too harsh. I notice an improvement with Qobuz as a source instead of Deezer but still would prefer a warmer less...

    Sonic climate warming in my living room requested

    First post..... Hello, I have been an audio enthusiast for a couple of years, going through several configurations but always paired with B&W speakers. I recently bought a set of CM9s paired with a musical fidelity M6i integrated amp, Stello DA100 dac connected through coax to a sonos connect...
