In the main lounge we already have a Nice Yamaha AV Amp, KEF Satelites, and MJ Acoustics sub wired to an Apple Mac Mini running both Plex Media Server and the OSX Plex Client - its a really slick setup using my iPhone or iPad along with a nice Harmony panel remote control it all. Its a good...

Brilliant! £5.95 plus 15mins with the top off and a screw driver has it all working again. Sorry Hi-Fi industry - you won't be getting £600 off me in the near future for a new CD transport.

Well, one week on I have to say the FS700 stands work really well. To begin with the stand sounded quite buzzy (if you flicked them with your finger you'd get a hollow 'ting' from them) but this has now been resolved by filling them to within 18cm of the top with Kiln sand. The stands now...

Quick update. The B&W FS700 stands I found on ebay at the weekend arrived today :grin: They are in perfect condition with no marks/scratches/dents or cross-threaded fasteners/missing spikes and for £125 the price was a lot more palettable than the £250 they seem to go for new in the shops...

The demo speakers went back to Superfi on Saturday and I collected my own 685s :rockout: Some B&W FS700's came up on ebay for a good price so I bagged them too LOL.

Yes, I'd agree with you here. With the 685s being front firing there is nothing to stop you placing them right back to the walls I guess (well - as far as you can before the brackets and bananna plugs meet the wall). Strangely the smaller 686 which seem like an ideal speaker for a small...

Hi Folks, just a quick update to let you know that I picked up a pair of 685s yesterday after a good few hours of listening. :cheer: I didn't take down my Amp and Dac but prior to my visit to Superfi I searched their stock list to see if they had a similarly clinical and bright amp I could...

Hi Folks, thanks for your insight so far. Picking a speaker is such a subjective thing and with so many variables involved (room, placement, equipment, musical taste etc.) its never going to be straight forward job. I guess there is no better yardstick than how your own ear interprets...

Hi there, We have nice Yamaha AV amp, KEF KHT2005 satelites and MJ Acoustics Reference 100 Sub (KEF Psu died twice - not paying to fix again) setup in our main larger lounge. It fits the bill perfectly as a multi purpose tv/movie/music system for every day use. My only bug bear with this...
