    New system...htib or separates?

    I'd happily grab 4 9.0s and a centre just now and find a good sub as time goes on. My big issue is getting clear dialogue while maintaining body so I feel investment in the centre is worth while.

    New system...htib or separates?

    Some of the reviews I read suggest that, in comparison with the 9.1 they're a little less capable in the mids and lows but I think that might be ideal with a good sub and centre?

    New system...htib or separates?

    It's an old set of aiwa n55 (part of an old system) Quite muddy at times with occasional monotone bass peaks and less clear in a vocal region than I'd like but still light years ahead of my TV. I'd been considering some wharfedale diamond 9.0s that I can get locally new for 40 per pair but...

    Just a note to say thanks for pushing me this way as I now have an NR626 and separate Sony BD player and I'm more than impressed with the quality and features. The sound seems really nice on a combination of old HiFi speakers (3way bookshelf) and some old no-name 5.1 surrounds. Time to invest in...

    long run CATV just over 500ft

    If you're transmitting data between two actual networks and can use wifi other than the range issue, check places like eBay for yagi antenna. You need suitable wifi hardware (removable antenna) and careful aiming but it should function bidirectionally with one at each end.

    long run CATV just over 500ft

    I may have crossed wires on your purpose. Are you using cat v to transmit in a format other than normal networking traffic?

    New system...htib or separates?

    Thank you for those, both makes I would not have touched with a barge pole without advice. And I can actually find the receiver 50 less in richersounds. I know nothing of either of these two makes and wouldn't have touched them add there are many cheap items popping up and passed off as quality...

    New system...htib or separates?

    I suspect we have very similar equipment available, but our market is a LOT smaller. I don't want you to peruse my market, I was looking for helpful advice on alternative options to keep an eye out for. It seems you're not the person to ask.

    Seems your definition of patronising differs from most then. Instead of firing out general beliefs based on obvious economics, exactly what do you feel I gain from buying a used bit of kit that this combined system lacks? What features, qualities or attributes is this specific hardware lacking...

    Jesus, naff software....For 150 if I were feeling cheap. I've just spent more than this on IEMs, where I can hear quality in peace without annoying neighbours.

    New system...htib or separates?

    It would be nice if you didn't come across as quite so patronising. I'm well aware of the limitations. I'm also not looking for something that lasts decades or is capable of crystal clarity in a cathedral, as I explained. But at 3-400 gbp I'd be looking to maximise performance and have a...

    New system...htib or separates?

    Id not normal consider used electronics, to much of my well treated stuff dies early as it is, so who knows how other people's stuff will last, with no recourse. That said, what are you thinking and why does it seem a better idea to you?

    long run CATV just over 500ft

    Can't you run a directional high gain WiFi antenna pair? Cables over that length are going to be a pain as you're finding.

    Hi, please excuse my first post being a cliche please help post (or don't and flame me!)Time has come to upgrade my TV/video setup. I'm running a Sony bravia LCD (kdl324000 iirc) which I'm more than happy with (room is an odd shape but essentially 8m wide and 5 deep with the TV opposite the...
