The current front are straight 685s (I think I bought them brand new about ten years ago!). From reading old bits of the B&W website it looks like the difference between the 61 and 62 centres is the size and matching to the fronts. There are a few brand new 61s floating around so I might grab...

I currently have both a hifi and a home cinema setup in my lounge. The former doesn't see much use these days so I'm looking to downsize. If possible, I'd like to keep the B&W 685s it runs and use them as the front left and right channels and replace the Tannoy HTS 101 system I currently have...

Nothing. My whole house is bare boards.

I've got bare floor boards so can't hide anything under the carpet. The mess and rework is the thing that is concerning me. Especially plastering over the holes. I've been recommended to run the cables up and above the ceiling. To go under the floor board do you have to lift whole sections up?

I've had a lounge rearrange and now my hifi is in a corner or the room opposite to the speakers. My options are to either buy longer lengths of speaker cable and run it around the skirting (currently using silver screen carnival to B&W 685s) or run the cables through the walls via facia plugs...

This is actually WHF account mark 2. They seem to have deleted my old account when the website went all "jazzy." I'm aware of the usual cables slagging match, "you must spend £100 on an HDMI" etc, but wanted to see if anyone had any sensible advice.

I've just upgraded to a new home cinema set up: Tannoy HTS 101 and Yammy V377. I'm going to sell the old system as is, so will need a complete new setup of cables: 2 x HDMI, sub cable and speaker cable for five speakers worth length. I've got a relatively small lounge so I think I'll need about...
