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

If you can stretch Jason, I'd try and get an audition with the Onkyo 875 given the price it's going for at the moment - I have the same B&W 685 setup (with M1 rears) and my 905 sings with them so I'm pretty sure the 875 will match them nicely too. (Obviously audition first - don't just take my word for it!)

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

ok ill have a listen to the Onk & Denon and see if one is better than the other :) ...... I had to place an order for the B&W centre speaker and it wont be in stock till Tue / Wen . So will take some pictures as soon as i get it, Cheers .

One thing i did notice the guy advised me to go with the 2 Way B&W speaker thats priced at £250. He said thier is 3 Way but said this would be for really big rooms , like 8Meters x 8 ect.

Do you mean the HTM62? If so, yes this is the one I have also and it works nicely with the 685s. I did think about the HTM61, but also decided it was unnecessary.

That'll be the HTM61 then. It is preferable for bigger rooms, but is perfectly at home in smaller rooms. It has the FST driver found on higher end B&W's though, I'm not sure why the salesman advised you to go for HTM62, but it is a fine speaker .

Well there's the obvious choice, Atacama Equinox...

Why not put it on that rack though, shirley that just means buying long, expensive cables?

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

Well i could maybe put the Sky HD and PS3 At the Bottom and put the Centre Speaker in the Middle and then have the Denon on Top. ill give it ago and take a picture and you tell me what you think.

The only other option is for me to have the Centre speaker hooked up above the wall on one of them floating Shelfs maybe ? / Because if i put the Centre in the middle its going to be to low down.

Doesn't the Denon fit in the middle? You really should have the hub in the midst of it all.

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

If it means having the TV on top of the receiver, that's not going to be a good idea either as it will block the cooling vents. Think your best bet would be to look a for a stand which will you allow you to fit your receiver in on one of the shelves as putting the receiver on another stand in the corner will mean long, expensive cables between the sources and it and then it and the TV...

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

Hi,

M1's are small 'style' speakers that are very good and usually form part of the 'style' speaker packages from B&W.
