Hi team Does anyone use a discreet 5.1 sub/sat system or have any recommendations? I'm considered something from B&W or Kef. We've an av2 with naim amplification and a pair of n-sat's. I would consider a full n-sat/sub system except we don't have the room, would like something discreet, prefer not to make the considerable outlay and value my relationship with the neighbours So...any thoughts? Thanks Jay

I am going to replace my dead 32" Panasonic CRT with a Panasonic 42" plasma and I thought I would bring some spare speakers into play at the same time. I have no intention of going into surround sound and only want a simple two channel system...

I've just bought a Chord - Power Chord mains lead for my Pioneer 427xd plasma and found it undoubtedly improved the picture quality. The colour depth was better, overall sharper image and the contrast ratio was better. I've had to reduce the colour...

I currently run an older Pioneer 43" plasma with the seperate media box (This was to limit the number of cables running to the display on the wall). I now have the proposition of a PS3 joining the Sky HD box to be connected but I am limited to a...

I'm settling in with my nVi and what a good picture/sound - even running a 5 metre HDMI cable to the display.For the sound, I'm running the signal through a unity gain input on the 552, and everything works well except .... there seem to be some...

This is a bit of a fact finder as I'm in the middle of upgrading my Hifi and it involves moving the telly(good technical stuff as you can "tell") to a position inbetween the speakers.I am auditioning a pair of DBL's in the near future and if I like...

I have recently installed an NVi with DAB and all is just fine - but the remote seems a little unpredictable! I have found the instructions for resetting it, but with DAB it still does not seem to perform as per the manual1. Using the numeric keys...

Trundling through John Lewis at Cribs Causeway yesterday and came across a 65" Panasonic plasm being driven by a Panasonc Blu-Ray player. What a quality piece of kit! I had to drag my little boy as he was totally lost in the moment.SWMBO was equally...
