Re: ** Watch me Build my Home Theater System **

The KEF Sub is rubbish to tell the truth and even at Full Volume wouldnt make the speaker or Monitor Move :) ,
I was thinking about just getting the Sony Receiver since im only after the True HD Sound and thats it really mate , Also its Black so will look good , Im going to stick with the PS3 as the main source at the moment as i do watch alot of Blu-Rays from Love-Film.com and im very happy with the Quality i get from it , I also play Fifa 2008 and Grandtheft Auto IV on it aswell. I may look at upgrading to a Standalone Blu-Ray player at somepoint , Im pritty sure if i do it will be one of the new Pioneer Models ,

If you guys can give me some Ideas at what Receiver you think i should get or Blu-Ray player then please say so and ill look in to it. Ill be happy to pay anything up to around say £1000 on each item.

Im just aiming to get it done by the end of the year with say £700 - 800 Budget each month.



Ok im starting the painting Today :) Walls going all White.

You can save some money by avoiding the PV1. Overpriced. And it certainly wont support your screen ;)

Im not sure what you mean Frog when you say Support the screen ? Do you mean the PV1 will Break it ? If not the PV1 what Sub do you think i should get ? B&W to match the set , Just so you know i like Good Base in Films . The Explosions have to stand out !

Sorry being a bit comedic ;)

The PV1 is undoubtably a good sub, but you can get a whole lot more for the money. Look at the BKElectronics range...You will get far bigger explosions for less money ;)

Look at the monolith...

I like the idea of showing us from the start. I have to say though that's the first time I've seen a centre speaker dwarf the screen!

As for subs, try the RSW12 - you will buy it!
