Video Switching + Speakers + DVD or CD5+FC2
Posted by: Stuart M on 27 August 2005
Well more than a year and a half after moving in to my new place and now the lounge (28 by 18 with max 18 vaulted ceiling) is almost finished.
Several purchases along the way I now am the owner on the AV side of:-
DVD Player Cheap job that needs replacing
Processor Yamaha DSP-E800
Pre 102 (Will get AV mod when sent in for service) +HiCap
NAP 250 L+R
NAP 140 Centre
NAP 140 Rear
SBL L+ R
Center Pair of IBLs horizontal, or Pair of SBLs or Single SBL
Rear SBLs or IBLs
Plasma 32 Toshiba (SVHS + PC cables)
which is a re-badged Panasonic TH4PW5B
Projector Infocus (SVHS + PC + DVI + Component cables)
I intend to switch to an AV2 but what options are there for video switching. I dont watch a lot of TV but HWMBO does so need to be able to switch several sources to either output easily in a simple way.
As far on the speaker combinations I could try does anyone have any experience of any of these combinations. I have tried SBLs with IBLs (mounted tweeter to tweeter) and they worked amazingly well because of there midrange abilities and speed (If I go this root the 140 will have to change for a 250).
DVD Should I sell my CD5 and FC2 to go towards a DVD5 or buy something like a Dennon 3910
7.1 is it worth it Have a reasonable pair of speakers and amp I could press into service if needed but would the a Naim solution be worth it £ for £
And for all the round earthers out there that think Ive lost it Im going for a Lingo2 (Sorry but I need 45 esp living next to DJs with access to their records grin)
