    Johnny: The speaker stands are these and the tv/equipment cabinet is some ancient thing from Argos, it's oooold, had it from my dad's work when they had a clear out years ago The top bit that the tv stands on, and the centre sits under, made it myself out of chipboard

    g8ina is my Radio Ham callsign, had it since 1973 and it's unique to me

    Glad the speakers are unaffected Nice setup !

    Yes guys, 950watts with 2 12 inch drivers and more than 50kgs. Good stuff, but looks like another piece of furniture.

    Titan AE is in my list, but not yet heard

    Wow, I was just thinking of Titan A.E. in my sleep (well sorta sleeping/dreaming) and thought I should watch it again.

    Howard + Suniil sweeeeet subs you guys. What are they both rated at (RMS pls)?

    My setup is still the same, haven't found a reason to change anything (much), however I've attenuated the sub more (-8dB atm) when listening to stuff by Massive Attack, and set it to -6dB for movies etc.

    Does it have to be an HD setup? Was going to post a photo of my system but I don't have an HD panel (can't be bothered with it at the moment).

    If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
