No those were good suggestions...  :thumbs: Mistro you got it...  ;D

Vaughan - Good points....  Apart for the suggestion at the end...  :tongue:    :puke:

Yip it's one of them I'm thinking about... ;D Also have the  RB-1090,RB-1092 and the 980bx I spoke of above. R

I currently have a RB-1095 and it's one of the best they made, it's a great amp. I don't want to get into bashing any kit, but dint go near the new rotel digital stuff, i bought 3 of them about a month ago. I was shocked at how poor they were, I returned them after a few days as they were so...

Power - I see you in PTA air space.... I have some of the amps I mentioned above, if you like I can bring one round and we can test on your B&W's.

Hey Sasquatch - yip power amps only need to be changed when you make a big change to your speakers or when you get infected with spendalitus... ;D  I've changed my processor about 5 times and could have kept the same power amps...and I didn't have to spend huge money each upgrade. :clap: Power-...

Hey Power 1- basically comes down to quality of the processor, having a dedicated processor for HT is normally only found on the high end units per manufacture. I've run both for many years and in my opinion you can save yourself a huge lump of cash going with the latest gen 'lower' AV unit and...

Thanks guys, honestly the more people that can use anything I've learnt from my build the better... If you want any info that you think I might be able to share just pm me, problem is to get me to shut up about the stuff.... :EGrin: 

:walled: I think I shoudl use the spell check next time...  :BWAHAHAH:

Yip - the room has changes allot since the original pics - above. inside the room Ive built sound panels on the whole front wall - they are 5cm deep and so match the screen so they are flush. Its acoustic material over each panel. They are filled with rockwool as well - but a different range...

Here is the scale model I build when I was designing the room... always helps me see see the layout etc... wife thought I was mad ..  :moron: below was the finished product... not too far off...  :EGrin:

I haven't measured - but I have an idea - I can use my SPL meter and take a reading in the theater, the one at the door open/closed , next door  etc... would that help at all ? ( alternatively you could come past and I can show you and you can listen tot he effects. ) OK - let me try upload...

It's 9.5 x 6.5 with 2 levels(front and back seats) , if I could do it over I would go a bit bigger..? And change a few things. I was building a few rooms at the time so the cost was part of the total build. Basic build without finishes etc was around 350k for 130 squares. This was in 2008.

>:D I'll post some later when I get home for the non believers..hehe . :tongue:

Hey darrylo, this is one part of my theater build that I don't miss but glad I did it... There are various things you can do with different effects... Some people will sell you things that will isolate your room but not sound proof it... I have allot of photos of my build and things I did, but...

Hey power, good point on the 3D... The 3D effect seems to less effective the furthar back I sit...you want to be in there... I see the THX recommend under 3m on a 60"... Damn... 8)

For me when watching a movie, nothing gives you the complete experience without big visuals.. Ive noticed on allot of new blu rays that they have dropped the horrible black bars top and bottom...makes an amazing difference. Eg the avengers. Good luck...let us know what you decide... :thumbs:

Some ideas for screen size to seating position.... Don't need to agree.. But perhaps it helps... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance Use it as a guide ... Then go bigger...  :EGrin:

How far away are you going to sit ? For movies I prefer a bigger picture, it adds to the who experience... But if your too close it's like sitting in the front row.... :o.  Although if it was a movie with kate beckinsale in I wouldn't mind... :drool:

I had the previous Jamo's (d590) and it also had the bi wire capability. You don't need to use it on the amp side or the speaker side.... But ... If you own a fairly good amp and have fairly good cable you will be surprised what a difference it can make. For some reason on the amp I had it...
