Hi Big Boss, I took your advise and looked at some more high end receivers. I'm blown away with the Pioneer SC-LX58. And so that is what I will mate to the system. Chosen Dali Zensor 3 at front, Vokal, the Zensor 1 at rear, mated to a BK XXLS400-DF. I'm hoping this will sound as good at home as...

Thanks everyone for your help and insight. Really helped me focus. I managed to test several subwoofers at Richer in Cambridge. The Dali, A Cambridge Audio Aero, and a Rel T-7. The Rel beat them both by miles. And after talking to BK, I've decided to go for their XXLS400-DF. They are even going...

I'm putting together a new cinema/hifi system, and I'm after some advice regarding subwoofers. I'm pretty set on a Dali Zensor setup with 3's at the front, Vokal in the centre and 1's at the rear, but I'm undecided on the sub. The Dali E12F seems logical (budget £500), as I really like some of...

Thanks Simon, missed it! Doh! Had a look at it though and short of the Airplay which doesn't interest me (I don't have an iPhone etc) I'm certainly impressed at the pricepoint. Nice to see Denon back in the game. Are there any other alternatives of recent years that have the same qualities, will...

Hi, I'm a noob and really need your help. I'm looking to build a cinema and hifi system with used kit around a new Oppo BDP105 Darbee Edition and two B&W CDM 1st and a CDM CSE centre speaker. Could you advise on a second hand cinema amp powerful enough to match and run the speakers and give...
