    AV Receiver/Source Sound

    Hello. I am hoping to pick up some new speakers and get some use out of my Onkyo 608 receiver which has sat unloved in the loft for six months. The reason I ended up disconnecting my AV receiver was because I was listening to a lot more music and wished to cut down on the amount of equipment I...

    What are you listening to?

    This week I have been listening to The Beatles - The White Album. I put off listening to this album for ages, worried that it wouldn't live up to the hype. WhoMadeWho - Space For Rent and Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know are battling for playtime too. Some great tracks.

    Prog rock

    I have Steven Wilson's 'The Raven...' Album. For some reason I always turn it off after the second track, even though I like what I hear.

    Prog rock

    I have recently been put onto Van Der Graff Generator. Initially I wasn't really feeling the two albums (Still Life and Godbluff) but after two or three listens something clicked.

    marantz cr603 still amazing

    I am a huge fan of Q Acoustics, no plans to upgrade for a while and I regret selling my old 2020s now.

    marantz cr603 still amazing

    I recently bought one of these Marantz CR-603 units as my first foray into a dedicated music setup. At present it is only driving some old Q Acoustics 2010 speakers I had lying around but will eventually upgrade to some better performing speakers as finances free up. I dont really have anything...

    4:3 Tablet Screens For Video

    Personally I have never had any issue with the aspect ratio when watching movies or tv shows on my ipad. A bigger annoyance for me is screen glare.

    Cantilever TV stand.

    I have a Q Acoustics 2000 centre sat on the top shelf along with a 50inch plasma and have had no stability problems, along with what has already been mentioned I have an onkyo receiver, ps3, atv and blu ray player all sat on the unit and have had no issues whatsoever.

    Cantilever TV stand.

    http://www.allcam.biz/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=584 A lot cheaper, not the greatest stand in the world but it does the job, I picked one up a while ago as I needed something cheap for my bedroom. Probably get everything you list on there.

    Q Acoustics QAV

    Thanks for taking the time to to reply. For some reason I have decided I want something a little less conspicuous than what I have at the moment, this might just be that thing. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't only just bought my current gear! oh well. Thanks once again

    Q Acoustics QAV

    I've just been reading the reviews of the QAV system and it looks ideal for my girlfriends house (possibly mine too, as I look to go for a more subtle approach to home cinema, currently using a mixture of QA 2020, 2000C, 2010 AND BK Gemini). Does anyone have any 'real world' experience with this...
