Hello all, I have been running my Wharfedale Valdus 400 with the Arcam Alpha 9 amplifier for a very long time as my secondary system for parties, DJing, transporting. They have traveled and lived many hours of parties and BBQs around Europe.... It has been over 23 years of careful abuse and...

Thanks BigBoss, The TV i have is a sony 55XE90(05) - been looking around Google to see how it processes the sound however, all I get are "dropped sound from ARC" which I am not experiencing... As far as I know, all sound sources register properly on my Onkyo amp - majority being DD and DD+...

Hi, again thanks! Happy Easter! Well yes I think this is what I am gong to do, love the new tech but everything else has to be upgraded now to enjoy the full array of technology today. I have since tuned the TV in settings to smooth the background pixels which has given me a more pleasurable...

Hi there, Thanks for replying and helping. My Onkyo is I believe a few years old - maybe 2011 ish time. I do not have any DVD/BR disc player. After playing with it a few times I am still having underwhelming SD to 4k results which is a shame on this TV. First Source is my cable TV here in...

Hello all, With a new addtion this weekend the Sony 55XE90 I need a little help. First I was surprised to find on my Onkyo 4K upscaling, but this amp is quite old and from reading HDMI versions have imporved since. Currently I have the set up as follows; Main HDMI in the HDMI ARC 3 Input of...

Took the plunge and bought the Sony 55 XE90 - what a TV - time to set it up :) So far amazing, but need to post in home cinema for a question on cable HDMI management.

Good evening all, It's now been a few years and need a new upgrade of a TV. I have decided on two sizes of available in models 49" would be i think the best fit as I am about 2meters away from screen, will however consider 55" should à better model exist. What is my main priority? Due to the...

Hi, I opted for the 609 last month with the KEF Q500 fronts, Q200 centre and Q100 rears. The amp is really good with the speakers and I sampled both the Onkyo and Yamaha, and for me the Onlyo won the battle for films hands down, and handled stereo music very well, the yamaha had a softer...

Hi there, I recently took the same dive as you last month at around the same budget and got myself the 609 with the KEF Q speaker package. I did not buy the sub yet but currently auditioning a few at the moment. I am very happy with the system, movies and stereo music with the front speakers...

Hi all, It took some time to do it, but buying more speaker cable was another £75 so waited a little bit and purchased it today, plygged it all in and Bi-Amped my front speakers. The difference is incredible, night and day - most reviews and advice say it wont make such a difference but you...

You have a great budget to buy a very decent system, and as the others said, a demo is a must! I recently purchased, and listened to 3 or 4 pairs of speakers on two different amps and the difference was immence at half your budget. Make a good selection of speakers first, 3 or 4 and a couple...

to add, in settings zone 2 is on "NO" and cannot see why pure audio no longer works... I figured it out though, that despite having the zone 2 as NO in the settings, you need to also turn it off from the player manually and press the off button. It now all works fine.. Ben

Hi there, I am stuck - today i wanted to play my MP3 from the Onlyo and is connected with a 3.5mm to RCA output "PC". When i first got the amp i could press the pure audio and it worked. Now i press the button and its Not Available. I looked and turned off Dynamic EQ and Audyssey as per...

Hi there, I have a different opinion on the budget mix for your entertainment system, and I beleive the advice i had from my assistant at the shop last month made sence... He said the once you are an audiophile you will eventually upgrade, whether its in a year or 5 years, but one thing that...

Hi to all, I have built my own TV Riser all in for £28. Ikea legs as suggested, black satin paint, sand paper and a brush and here is the result.. :) and my full system with better pictures: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/694/imgp6785.jpg/...
