| Heh - We had an Arcam DVD player for a little bit, they are great but with our TV it didn't really show it off enough to warrent the £1k price tag  Nice setup tho - whats that random Cyrus box you have there?

| Lovely setup. However, to increase your viewing enjoyment, how about spending a little money on getting rid of that hideous wallpaper? |

| yeah the wallpapaer aint great. But tbh once the lights are down low and a movie is on you get so engrossed that the wallpaper doesn't matter. The arcam is actually my cd player.. and I thought it was streets ahead of all it's close price competitors. It's a cyrus smartpower.. the plan for future upgrades is to get another smartpower for the rears, and a cyrus mono amp for the centre (badly needed since the purchase of the tag mclaren).... then get a fancy preamp. cos while the yamaha does sing it's little heart out, it is by far the cheapest bit of kit there, it's also the oldest, dating from my pro-logic system, but it does have a 6 channel input and output so attaching multiple power amps is possible. |

| Oh right, yeah - we have an Arcam Alpha CD player, they are great, and only about 4 buttons so you can just get on and use them Take a look at the Arcam decoders, a few months ago we got the Diva AVR250 downstairs, runs with B&W DM6s on the front and Quad 11Ls at the rear, sounds brilliant. Its got preouts but never heard it with power amps.

| Or something like the Pioneer VSX-AX5Ai or Yamaha RX-V1500 will sound fantastic too Dunno what price range you're looking at though Home cinema: Toshiba 42XV555DB Full HD LCD | Onkyo TX-SR705 | NAD C352 | Monitor Audio Bronze B2 | Monitor Audio Bronze C | Monitor Audio Bronze BFX | Yamaha NSC120 | BK Monolith sub | Toshiba HD-EP35 HD-DVD | Samsung BD-P1400 BluRay Player | Pioneer DV-575 | Squeezebox3 | Virgin Media V+ Box PC: Asus P5B | Core2duo 2.13GHz | 2GB DDR2 PC6400 | Inno3d iChill 7900GS | Auzentech X-Plosion 7.1 | 250GB | 500GB | NEC DVDRW | Dual AG Neovo 19" HTPC: | Core2Duo E6420 2.13GHz | 2GB DDR2 | 250GBx2 | Radeon X1300 | Terratec Aureon 7.1 | Windows MCE 2005 Laptop: 1.5GHz Centrino | 512MB | 60GB | 15" Wide TFT | Wifi | DVDRW |
