    New Floorstanders to fit cabinet

    Thanks for your comments. Yep I realise it is a sonic no-no having decent speakers enclosed like that. In my (lame) defence I can only say that the existing pair don't have any rear ports, the sounds is all from the front so the interference is mitigated somewhat. To specific comments: lpv...

    New Floorstanders to fit cabinet

    I have an old pair of Revolution speakers that are blown and need replacing. Amp is a valve KT88 from Affordable Valve Company, CD player is also a valve player, Shanling CD-T100. The units sit in a bespoke wooden cabinet - photo below. So the replacement speakers need to fit the existing...

    Pioneer SC-LX82 voice/picture synchronisation problem with Sky

Have fiddled with the time delay on the Sky settings to no avail - hard to tell but if anything it seems that...

    Advice on my choice of kit please

    Thanks, will take a look at that (although have been surprised how hard it can be to see/listen to specific kit!). I read the review - it sounded as though the sub might not be as good as that from the MT-30?

    Advice on my choice of kit please

    Hello all. I am setting up a dedicated home cinema - after a fair bit of research and listening I have selected the following list of components. I have seen or heard the various bits separately but not together and hence would appreciate any views about how well they will match each other...
