Need to update the pics slightly, I've got the TV in place now and new lamps, but you get the idea.

sorry, have to say I'm not sure what you mean about the sub?
Do you mean B&W, or BMW ?

Sorry if I'm being stupid..................

I'm burned out on touch screens for personal use!

Give me a 'hard button' remote,something where you can feel the buttons instead of looking at the 'totaly cool" screen to operate my stuff after a long day!

Not as socially acceptable;
definetly doesn,t have the 'WOW' factor!

But it works for me!

Fair enough, but I find that the 9200 has enough hard buttons to perform the regular tasks, but the touch screen gives me the flexibility for everything else.

As you say it's a personal thing.

Not sure what you mean about the B&Ws, my first cinema was setup was all B&W speakers, the current one is monitor audio silvers.

How do you like your MP3 squeezebox x2?..

It's fantastic, I've now had a squeezebox, squeezebox G, and noe the squeezebox 2.
The SB2 is fantastic, all your music at your fingertips and a great display.

If you mean the banana plugs on the wall plates for the front speakers, I just wanted a way that I could remove the front speakers from the room and leave it neat if I had reason too.
I'm not too concerned about the possible signal loss, and I'm not sure what you mean about grounding? You mean the plugs might touch and short out ?

I was going to ask if you needed an interpreter, but you seem to have done a pretty reasonable job for yourself.

Must confess, I too am at something of a loss in regard to the grounding issue.


PS
Like the website. Must get around to doing one myself; at the moment I've made do with an article in the AVF gallery.
