still have a massive CD collection so always going to have a CDP / CDT - bought into the evo kit about a year ago with evo 150 to massively reduce box count, been waiting on the CDT, ordered yesterday due in about 10 mins, I like things to match, like the fact will download artwork, sure will...

Or just do what Samsung used to do in their TVs and include it but turn it off in engineer settings as cheaper to make them all the same and charge ppl more that want the feature by changing model number only

Convenience, prob best universal system out there, implemented in the most devices, not the best quality wise but useful all the same

That's not unusual, doesn't mean a mk2 isn't in the making Loads of companies don't announce whilst clearing out old stock, also lots of shortages and complications in world at minute delaying releases Models in this range are now 7 years old, I would say due an update, maybe we will see...

I'm struggling to see any differences to be honest in specs/pictures but might not have been updated. All this range of amps really needed adding was built in bluetooth. Yamaha still list the yba 11 Bluetooth adaptor on their website under these amps and was discontinued about 2 years ago I...

Speakers def sound better, were running off the Denon, other kit currently disconnected, not hooked up my turntable yet as stuff everywhere but guess again should be good improvement over the Denons phono stage, I have a phono amp as well which will compare once I have time. I bought my Evo 150...

You can use any amp with stereo inputs, connect front l&r outs from Denon to any line level input, set volume of new amp to normal listening level then re run the Denon setup and it will adjust volume to right levels then just set new amp to same level for every movie, some amps have a dedicated...

So this is my new space, currently in process of decorating so junk everywhere except the projector and sound bar and sub for glasto, all other kit awaiting installation once painted, plasterer needs to come back and sort a wall issue then paint and order carpet and sofa then kit install. My...

Yes still have a wife, she doesn't like my stereo stuff in the lounge so when we moved we made a few compromises, so stereo was moved aside so she has her little space and I have built mine, also I work from home so needed a dedicated office space so kind of a catch all.

Really, why wouldn't you try it though. Ppl go on about stands and cables and mains etc, swapping pieces of kit etc 6 panels will cost me like £350 which is considerably less than every piece of kit I own and something I'd be happy to try for the money. I now have a dedicated music room so...

Can i ask how you have them positioned, is there a tool to help you decide best place. Was thinking 1 behind each speaker as about 1m from a corner, 1 on each side wall but closer to front speakers, then 2 behind my listening position on back wall Did you put any on ceiling?

For the soundbar since you said weren't bothered about surround check out eBay Peter Tyson refurbished Harmon kardon citation for £279, prob best sounding bar out there for that kind of money. That sorts TV and then focus on the stereo side. I've always run with two setups in my rooms, well 3...

Was integral garage so already room above it, walls have been boarded and plastered, 2 internal and a external cavity wall, 4th is stud built wall with 100mm insulation. Floor is now suspended about concrete floor and again insulated with 100mm. My sub will sit on a marble base plate as will...

Finally converted my garage into my new office, home cinema, stereo room. No carpets down yet and not having curtains, room currently has an echo, might disappear with carpet. Room shape is not ideal but best I could create, 3.4m by 4.4m speakers have to go on long wall firing down short wall...
