Thanks again SonofSJ and Bigboss. Your latest replies really helped me get my head around this. The Onkyo 646 does in fact have a "height" speaker option. So i think what i will do is use my Q Acoustics 3000i Cinema Pack as my primary 5.1 surround sound system with the speakers on stands, then...

Thank you all for you recommendations and advice. I consider myself fairly savvy when it comes to hifi and home cinema. But obviously with new technology ( and along with it a 100 new acronyms) i find myself on a learning curve. Series1boy asked if i would consider "height" speakers instead...

Thanks for your reply Son of SJ. See...i knew it would be too technical. The speakers that Onkyo are giving away are the SKH-410 and they retail at about £150. The only others i've seen widely advertised are KEF's retailing at £500. As for fooling the brain, could i use the Q Acoustics and drop...

I have the 685 theatre system. I was fortunate enough to by the whole system together. The HTM62 centre speaker is the speaker of choice for that system. It's very good. A pair of 686's are also the perfect match for your surround sound rears.

Wise words indeed. It's just a shame that I don't seem to use my system as much as I used to. I couldn't wait to get the latest blu-Ray and enjoy the full immersion. But now I tend to stream and watch films on my laptop. I could also do with the space. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for your reply. My lounge is probably only 15' x 15' (ish) and I would be sitting directly in front of it about 10' away. I appreciate your insight. Regards. Paul.

Hi. I am seriously (seriously) considering buying the Naim Mu-so. I currently have the B&W 685 theatre system. I have noticed that over the years, the way I listen to music and films has changed and im just not using the 685 as much as I used to or find that I only tend to listen to music using...
