Dear all,
Just signed up but already a few months browsing this site and forum.
In my appartment I have assembled a couple of 2nd hand speakers for my home cinema set and I was interested in what you guys think of it. I choose B&W 'cause my dad has owned a couple of B&W pairs on his hifi for years.
Set-up in an appartment main living room (appr 5x4 m)
A/V receiver (new): Denon AVR-1910
Front R/L speakers: B&W 601's (1st serie) (bi-amped)
Surrounds R/L: B&W LM1 silver & on stands (2nd hand bargain)
Front: B&W HTM7, bi-wired (2nd hand bargain, only paid 200€ for it 3 years old)
Subwoofer: BK Gemini II (because of the good review on the website)
Cable: StraightWire Musicable for all front speakers and Inakustik Premium Speaker Cable Silver (5m each, but not long enough )
TV: Samsung LE32B650
DVD player: Panasonic DMR-EH57, but want to switch to Blu-Ray (probably Sony BD360 or PS3 Slim)
HDMI cables Inakustik Premium
So what do you think?
- upgrade to a better sub (in B&W series)?
- replacing center HTM7 to a CC6 series (downstep I know, but now not in right color and is actually too big but I haven't got a decent TV-furniter yet)
- does the sony BD360 and/or PS3 slim make a lot of cooling/spinning noise while playing a disc, what about start up times? (I hate that right now on my panasonic DVD player, it's not much but it distracts me once and a while).
Thanks for reading and replying,
