| we had a thread similar to this not too long ago although i did kind of hi-jack it by blabbering on about subs though  i've now got :- Sony 29" FD Triniton WEGA TV (KV29LS30S) Toshiba SD330E Multi-region DVD Player Marantz SR 6300 DD-EX / DTS-ES / DPL2 6.1 Amplifier 6 x Mission m74i Speakers wired with QED Silver Anniversary Speaker Cable BK Electronics XLS 200 Subwoofer i'm quite into my home entertainment system, though i've only got a reasonably modest set-up. a big screen picture is the next upgrade, ideally i want a projector, a Sony VPL-HS10 or a second hand CRT prehaps, but i don't really have the room at the moment especially as ceiling mouning isn't an option.

| Student of 16: Old (9 years?) but still amazing picture quality 24" Panasonic TV. RGB SCART, SVHS, etc. Toshiba SD220E DVD Player Sherwood RD6118R Dolby Digital/DTS Receiver Monitor Audio Bronze B2 front Yamaha NSC120 Centre JPW Radius Rears DIY 12" subwoofer Akai VCR OneForAll Mosaic touch screen remote control A modest system compared to the high end stuff, but imo a far more pleasant viewing experience than visiting the cinema nowadays. The sound that I can produce in my room is pretty fantastic.

Same here. At home - AIWA 4 year old system, nice speakers and has optical input which is alright. However at uni im down to using, 17" TFT, 5.1 DTT2200s and a PC with hardware playback. No TV, dont listen to the radio and no hifi. Parents have a 28" Goodmans TV with some bundled dolby setup and Ronin £50 DVD player which is actually very good considering. I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigs Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH! |

| A-XP 2400 (@2200Mhz). Nforce2 (soon to be, digi outputs) (soon to be Creative Inspire 5500Digi. Not the best, but not the worst either!HollyWood DVD card, when I take a walk down agents (and hand over some cash) 19" CTX EX960 Series. More into being able to sit in one spot and do it all! Its (/will be) quite a good setup. The major things letting me down at the mo is the quality of DVD playback (pretty pants w/o dedicated MPEG hardware), and the bass bleed on my inspire 5100s. Im getting more into my audio-visual at the mo. |

| Yeah, gotta say that that was one funny thread... It wasnt meant to be. But it just shows the divide between women and men! |

| Inspire 5.1 digital 5700 speakers and amp which hooks up to sony flatscreen 15" TV, audigy 2 sound card, hollywood dvd card and iPod Watch DVD's using hollywood card and remote on my Samsung 17" Syncmaster 171P or output to the tv if I'm using the comp. All my music's in mp3 (got 14.8GB worth) so I play them on the comp or iPod if the comp isn't on I'm more of a casual viewer when it comes to films as I only really watch em when the g/f is round and we rent a film, I've only got bout 10-15 DVD's. I'm a bit of an audiophile though as I listen to music non stop and couldn't live without it  |
