[geeza]

cheers all my music is back in perth , came to qld with 5 cds radiohead and some beats hahaha , but yeah man the pixies rock !!!

Brassneck!! Great Pixies tune - those days were very good

I had the pleasure of (finally) seeing Ian Brown a few years ago and it was great! even though after the stone roses he got a bit blah

I've also got some early hardcore on vinyl (88 - 92) type stuff i will never let me vinyl go and i'm sure you feel the same

oh yeah , since were metion home cinema i have a 50' panasonic plasma, with ps3. i wasnt a fan of plasma becuase of the close up display crappyness and image burn. though im quite chuffed with this one, it looks fantastic from all angles no matter how close or far you are.not only that but some online loonies decided to sit a still image on it for 7 continuous days to see if the image would burn in, and it didnt do anything at all detramental. ps3 yeah well the only reason i got it was for ff series and gt series, of which niether of the full copys have been released yet dont get me started on the complete lack of rpg's for the ps.

why have 10 speakers when you only need two !!!
surround sound is just an illusion to the ears and a big money maker for the corporate factories dishing out cheap and nasty speakers !

Re: who has what hi fi ?

Yeah but you can do surround sound ok with 5 cheap speakers... To do it well with two they need to be good...

Some cool music you listen to dubsweeper. The Pixies are my fav.

'Doolittle' drool!

My home system is: musical fidelity bi-amp and pre-amp, dahlquist dq30 floor speakers and cambridge audio cd player (very tight but awesome for banging out old aussie and english punk)

Just sold my beloved GT4 complete with Kef splits, alpine dvd head unit and kenwood amp.

[Greggles]

But what I was thinking for my amp upgrade was a Yamaha. Probably the RX-V1900. Although open to other people's suggestions around the $2500 mark. Not sure about speakers though. Regarding speakers, what do people think about B&W?

Not sure about home theatre but I'd kill for a set of B&W 803D hi fi speakers! Beautiful looking and sounding but prohibitively expensive speakers. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Yamaha hi fi gear (then again I wouldn't suggest going the expense of a Musical Fidelity bi-amp setup either unles you listen to a lot of music!)

found a pic of the system here , here you see a marantz super audio cd player
bose system , b/w speakers 703 and top of the range cambridge audio amp

Looks good, the question is do you have any SACD's? My Denon dvd player also plays them but have never bothered buying any.

Cambridge Audio gear is good, wouldn't mind upgrading components to CA down the track and a CA DACMagic for the PC setup.

Someone has B&W in the same room as Bose accoustimas / freespace? now thats contrast...

More than enough for apartment living

Would love to get some nice audio going, think a dedicated preamp for the front channel would be a nice way to go.

Been spending my free moneys on the car, can't afford to many hobbies with toys

yeah bi amping can get a little tricky and has to be a very good amp on both channels as you will get a different sound from each channel , if its not not syncd proper

most amps above $2000 g these days you will not have to do that i think , basically keeping a your amp running minamal to one source is all you need with extra good cables and plugs, my cambridge amp will put out 200 watts but its not speaker volume but a sound stage through the whole music which is pure and deep , damn its like a drug somtimes !!!! vw and stereo
