Onkyo have been going well for some years now, just make sure there is plenty of ventilation around it coz boy oh boy they get hot, great amps.

Looking for a 350 at the moment and I would consider this. Its an E60 525 and superb condition, gets 39/43mpg and is a pleasure to drive as it still gives a great ride, superb handling and can be quick if you want it to be. It has M suspension.

Yeah, I got my stuff from there too in 2006. Previous setup lasted me a long time as I got my speakers in 1978 and my amp and turntable in 1980. I was pretty impressed with Richer Sounds actually, the only problem we had was matching a turntable as my entire music library is on vinyl. It would seem that they're not in great demand these days . Pete Pete, vinyl is so in demand. There is nothing can compare to vinyl played on the right system, but it would also depend on whether it's Pink Floyd or Des O'connor No offence to Des fans

May I be so bold and suggest just looking at this. http://www.marantz.co.uk/uk/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=HomeTheatre&SubCatId=BlurayPlayer&ProductId=UD7007 Yamaha are great amps, not so on DVD though, just my humble opinion.

I hate to use the hifi terms but in this case it fits, the sony's are very "musical" ie when playing music dvds, cd's they are good performers, no doubt about it.

You should read this first. http://www.whathifi.com/forum/blu-ray-players/denon-dbo2012ud-finally-going-back It is good sense to keep the same brand if what your buying is good stuff, if you listen to cd's too I would seriously consider Marantz, they had a long time away but have produced a few good players recently.

Is that an import and whats the budget?

Cool, if it fits you can put the sub behind the tv. it will be fine in there

If it's any help I started into Home cinema about 15 years ago. I have installed many from budget stuff to Naim, Cyrus, Arcam, B&W Focal, Pioneer any brand. It's been a hobby and I have a home cinema here in the UK and the other in our home in France, there's a pic here www.afrenchhome.co.uk. There is a lot to know, it's not as straight forward as you think to get a great sound but it can be achieved on a budget. rtbiscuit, the setup you have gone for is actually a pretty good choice. Pioneer amps are a great choice and the speakers will give you want you want in a small to medium size room. The same speakers would also work in a small room, just don't push the speakers too hard, but sometimes folks don't want wires running to the rears, that's where a good soundbar like the B&W come in, they are quite refined as where the Yamaha is quite punchy. rtbiscuit when you place your sub bare in mind it can go anywhere in the room, also try it facing a wall. The bass travels in an up and over fashion and you will be really surprised what a difference it can make. Don't be fooled by gold connectors, in fact remove any and go bare wire. Think it as though it's just another terminal the sound passes through, anything that the sound/picture passes will loose small amounts of quality, eventually after leaving the speaker you would of lost a percentage of quality. Reduce this by buying the best interconnects you can afford, believe me it pays of especially in a budget system. Every one of my interconnects are Chord, look them up, they do some great stuff. ( you should budget 20% of your setup just for connectors, if you can ) A square room is the worst room, you need angles and soft furnishings will improve sound. The best way to describe it is like this. Imagine your speakers in front of you. The sound passes your ears to the walls behind you, if the walls are bare the sound reverberates and bounces straight back in the direction it came from, passing your ears again. Because this happens so fast you won't notice, you will just hear the sound. It's not until you deaden the reverberating sound and stop it coming back to you here a far crisper sound. Soft furnishing deaden the sound and stop it bouncing back. An angled wall works on the same principle but this time deflecting it from your ear so you don't get the second pass. Despite what you read the most expensive part of your entire kit should be "the source " so if you were playing CD's then the cd player is where your money should go. If it's Blue Rays then it's the Blue Ray player. A quick explanation. Lets take a DVD, all the information is on that disc so when you play it you want to get all the sound/picture off when playing. As it passes through each connector, cable, then an amp through a dac through another connector and out through another cable, each pass is loosing small amounts of the pure picture/sound taken originally. So if you use a cheap player it's just not going to pick up everything it could, they just don't. A better built unit or better quality has a better chance of picking it all off at the start, therefor when you here it, you've lost less, hope that makes sense. It's even more important if your hearings poor. If anyone wants any advice on the setup etc, let me know. The good thing about some amps these days they do a pretty good job with a mic at setting up for most of us.

Yep I know that to be true too, I lived with a nurse for 5 years, she said exactly the same thing.

Hi Ekona, sounds like we are rather similar, I used to love those type of random questions about law. it IS this country. If I still had my "manual of guidance" ( not sure if you ever got to read one) I could show you. If I ever come across it I will indeed point u in the right direction. Kind Regards.

Hi , just joined the forums so catching up on older threads. I think Chris l hits it on the head really, some good points. Here's one I bet no one knows, did you know if you do not help someone in a situation like this you COULD be prosecuted. You have a duty as a citizen to assist, you live and learn eh? Just one of those randoms laws you learn in training.

Sorry to barge in. I've been considering a soundbar for a while as a compromise really, my room is small and my current hifi takes up quite a proportion of it as it is. I would only be using the soundbar for tv, upgrading the hifi for surround would be expensive. I haven't listened to any yet, would probably looking at a yamaha? I know separates will always be better but are soundbars really that bad a compromise? Hi OllyB. Despite what some people say soundbars are not crap/@*!# etc, it depends on what it's being used for, how it's being used and which one you buy and crucially, who and how it's set up for you and the listening environment Yamaha started them off so have great knowledge of them. Probably one of the best is the B&W ( Bowers and Wilkins ) Its like anything though, you pay for what you get.

Hey Pete, I truly hope everything works out and you don't have to sell either. I'm looking for a car right now and at the moment errrring towards a roadster. By all means let me know what you decide as I would rather give my money to a forum member and maybe it would work well for both of us. Kind regards.

Just joined, in Chandlers Ford, Hi.

Hi there, just joined myself and in the same boat looking for either the 350 or 370 so, Hi

Opps sorry double post, did not mean that

If it's something you would like to do then go for it, it can be very frustrating but it can be the most rewarding job in the world. The vast majoity do it for the same reason " to make a difference" but sure it can be so very tough at times too. I did as I was coming to the end of a long stint in the forces and I remember my girlfriend at the time saying she was getting a taxi home from her friends because she didn't feel safe. I though hard about that and thought wouldn't it be nice to be a figure on the street that someone would see at night and feel a little safer. If your passion is driving then you have no idea what levels you can get trained to in a vehicle. People claim they can drive a car, yeah right. Believe me you would not imagine in your wildest dreams what you can learn Hey Humpy, I'm in Chandlers Ford just South of Winchester

I've no idea what popo is mate, you youngsters and your slang Trust me dude, you don't. Your never in the right, you can never do the right thing, you can never do enough for folks and 99 times out of a hundred they don't want to see you. BUT, you never ever know what the next job is going to be.

Hi all. I'm looking for my first ever Z and I am fairly open as to which one, well right now I am but stand by as that may change. I'm hoping to get a good buy at this time of year so I am def also interested in a nice roadster. Has to be a GT and prefer 2007 on. I'm not keen on anything heavily modified and prefer a straight version with lots of toys. I have a budget of 15k, not a penny more. I don't have to sell my other wheels and no loan so can pay for the car on inspection and test drive. I would also listen to someone who has a Z to sell but needs a good straight family car as I have a really lovely 5 series saloon if it's something of interest, if not, I'm happy to buy outright. I'm not in a hurry and would wait for a really well cared for one with low miles. Although based I Hampshire I am happy to travel anywhere in the country for the right car. The only interior colour I don't like is the Orange colour, I don't know enough about them yet to know if that only comes with a particular exterior colour, I'm still learning Kindest regards.

Hiya everyone. I live in Hampshire, retired 8 years ago to bring up my little girl who is now 6 and it's my birthday today, 51 and I'm looking for my first ever Z. I have been reading and reading until it hurts and looking at any pictures I can find as OMG they are a great looking car. I'm not into modifying cars, just subtle changes that could add value or beauty to the look so I'm looking for a straight unmolested version. Currently have a very nice 5 series with M Tech bits and just sold an immaculate 911 Carrera Cabriolet. I know very little about engines/mechanics but have had a fair piece of training in the handling department ( of cars ) as well as the psychology of driving. I'm a bit of "enthusiastic" about the safety side of driving as I've picked up to many body parts on the road side and then watch people and families fall to pieces when you tell them what happened whilst trying to hold back tears yourself. I love looking for a nice car, that's half the fun. I love gadgets so looking for one with tons of toys. I am always willing and get a lot of satisfaction helping anyone even if it's just advice. Right, I'm off to the wanted section now to post an ad for my new wheels, yeahhhh.
