    Hi BB, do you mind telling me what height you've mounted your speakers at? If you can just let me know the height of the top of the speakers are, that'll be great. I take it you're happy with the height? thanks again.

    thanks BB and robin for the tips. I think i will go back to the in walls for the surround now. regarding the sofa, I think it will be easy to just shift it away from the wall a little, but it will depend on the other half etc. Just one more question BB, do you get much sound leakage from the in...

    What do you mean by "include surround effects throughout the sofa"? So you don't think i need to worry about the balance in not having the left speaker in line with the other speakers on the left? I really appreciate your help by the way *good*

The centre will be ceiling mounted at 45 degrees flush with the ceiling but on the skylight. im getting blackout blinds for all doors windows and...

    You can see i initially went for in wall for surrounds but the placement for the left speaker is not ideal. I dont have a wall on the left side to mount it, hence looking at going for the FXs. Based on the 2 options I gave MA they recommended FX's over the in walls, pointing the V of the...

    I was going for the same WT265's as you initally, but due to the physical layout of my room, the monitor audio technicians recommended the FX's for surround and the IDC's for atmos. Thanks for the info, I did a seach for speaker hoods and it looks like Hoody are the ones to go for. I live in a...

When I was in a local shop demoíng the kef T205, i asked the guy to turn the vol up and the rear speakers were struggling. I'm...

    Any opinions on Euroscreen ES-SES2417-W ? Why is Cyberscreen in ceiling so expensive ?

Idealy I would like a in-ceiling model but was gob-snacked that a Grandview Cyber In-ceiling Tab Screen can cost over 2k !! and that the standard on ceiling is just over 1k. Can anyone...

    Technically I see what you mean about moving the right surround speaker, but I'm not sure it'll "look" right. I'm not overly fussed about it as I definately know which seat i will be on. I'm afraid the speakers are the only things we have in common, Projector I'm hoping to spend 1k, sub, i was...
