In a room that size, perhaps think about how much space the hifi and speakers will take up. Sometimes less is more.... The Arcam Solo Music is a good choice for limiting the number of boxes and wires without compromising too much on quality. Some Neat Iota Alpha's or Dali Menuets could be...

I bought my SU-A900MK2 (integrated amp) about 20 years ago and still use it every morning, connected to a pair of KEF iQ5se floorstanders. Brilliant system. The amp is plenty powerful enough and has a great tone. My advice would be to upgrade your speakers. My Technics also worked extremely...

How about some Harbeth speakers ?

Tom Waits - Used Songs It's 6:00am, dark outside and raining. Warm and snug inside listening to Tom Waits 'Used Songs' on my Samsung Tablet. Very good sound quality for nearfield listening at this quiet time of the morning. One of the neighbourhood cats has arrived for her cat milk and...

Hi Dib, Yes that's right, Creek CDP and amps with EPOS M22i speaker and Spendor S5e speakers with REL Strata II sub. Listen to it most days and it's still going strong. There's always better kit out there but this set up works just fine.... but never say never, I might get an itch and feel...

Thanks for your replies, I'm pretty sure that the holiday makers and day trippers at Blackpool will be safe, Major ☺. It would be interesting however to know how far off the R7 is off in terms of sound quality in a small room environment. My parents are not into hifi and for them if the...

Parents downsized to a property with a small lounge, 11 foot by 18 foot. Telly in the corner adjacent to the patio doors on one of the short sides. Quite like the idea of a Ruark R7 with telly attachment for compact and neatness. I have heard the R7 at John Lewis but not an ideal environment...

Wayward Pines episode 1 is available to watch for 1 week on various social media sites (e.g. Facebook). Will be watching it tonight on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (following my Friday night curry ofcourse!)

It's coming "First on Fox" http://www.foxtv.co.uk/wayward-pines

A new trailer has been released http://youtu.be/2DxySpq6jFY The mini series begins May 14th. Somewhere.

I'm on freesat, so hope Fox will distribute via Channel 5 or E4.... They have their own channel though on Sky so it maybe only shown on that initially. Very much looking forward to seeing this series *biggrin* The books were excellent.

Fox have announced that the first episode of Wayward Pines will be shown on 14th May next year in the US and 125 countries around the world. It's a long wait.....

Enjoyed watching the film again, but it didn't seem as sunshiney bright as I remembered it. Possibly the DVD transfer was the culprit. Occasionaly the screen went black for a couple of seconds (although the audio continued as normal), it happened about 5 times. That didn't detract from the story...

Phew.... The dvd arrived this morning from the US with no request for cutoms charges from the post office. Three security seals removed, and now waiting to watch it .... will it be worth the £30 ?? Will find out this evening... but for now a roast beef carvery lunch awaits and then shopping

Thanks for releasing my post *yahoo*
