This is the denon amp I had in mind for the kitchen if I go with the 6400 - any thoughts? https://premiersoundsblog.co.uk/heos-amp-hs2-review If RS are giving away a free Heos speaker as well then that's the spare bedroom sorted! Currently use a Dali Katch in the kitchen but that's going in...

Thanks, agree re the ceiling speakers, I think four is ultimately the way to go and I don't want to have to go back and drill more holes/instal more cabling later so will probably go for four from the outset. I should be ok for speaker cable as I still have a drum of QED standard cable from a...

That might be stretching the budget given the price of some of the kitchen tables I saw my other half googling the other day, but let's see how that pans out... Really good review on AVForums though, will definitely keep it in mind!

And apologies for the horrendous type-o's I've just noticed in that last post...!

That's really helpful re the ceiling speakers, thanks. Was looking at the 380's primarily as I had a concern about the power rating for the smaller ones (the 380 IDCs are rated at up to 150w I think?). If that's not a material concern then I'll have a look at the CT280's instead (woudl want a...

Thanks Bill, your right, no substitute for a demo, though the speaker side of the equation is kinda fixed (can't afford to replace all the existing ones and but the new stuff as well!), am just wondering if anyone out there has experience of either amp that they could share? (in terms of what...

Bit of a patchwork/work in progress; existing kit for the main room is Monitor Audio Silver (centre, 2x RS8's, 2xRX-FX surounds, RX-12 sub), blu-ray deck is sony X800, potentially adding another sub and another pair of surrounds but have another site visit friday morning to confirm whether the...

Am considering either option as part of a - hopefully - new set up (in the process of buying a new place, haven't exchanged contracts yet but am planning the important stuff...)

i just stuck a couple of magnetic PC dust filters over the fan holes in the end, made it much quiter and the air still circulates without any problem (had read a few posts from people saying the 'fan fix' hadn't worked for them).

:cheers:

TPS are a decent retailer in my (admittedly limited) experience, and the ZT is a cracking TV so well worth a punt. There may be some fan noise (seems to vary by unit) but likely no worse than you would get from running an old PS3.

Thanks gents. Brought it from Peter Tyson and am driving up to Scotland in a few weeks for a holiday so could always stop by on the way up to leave it with them. Will give them a call in the morning and let you know what they say.

Went to watch a 3D bluray for the first time in a few months last night, only to find that as soon as I pressed 'play' on the 3D version of the film the player started making a horrendous grinding noise. Tried the 2D version of the disc ('Hugo') and it was fine, tried a different 3D disc ('Life...

The involvement of a private equity group is a potential worry, not trying to tar them all with the same brush but they often focus on short term cost cutting rather than quality and long term investment. If you like pioneer and want Dolby Atmos then the upcoming 88 might be worth grabbing and...

Just awful news. Always came across as such a decent guy and I was only reading his thread this morning about he and his wife turning 40. Gutted.
