New Audio toys

Denon AVR-1907:

Gale 4050 Centre

Got all my speakers installed and working, just need some new rears to replace the cheapo acoustic solutions at the back (they still sound not too bad though)

My Gale floorstanders at the front are pretty decent too

It all sounds pretty lush and means that my 360, PS3 and PC can all be connected to one nice sounding setup via Optical

I'll be giving some more pics once I've got the TV installed along with some neat shelving and all my trunking installed so it's all neat and tidy

Very nice! I'd love to have an audio setup like that.

Go for 7.1! Uncompressed PCM ftw!

 

[SuB]

can't do 7.1 over optical only 5.1

 

[FarFarAway]

It'll be 5.1, tbh 5.1's enough for anyone

It's very nice, just need some rears

Nice kit Kemp What rear speakers are you looking at to compliment your current setup?

 

[FarFarAway]

Probably get some Gales to match - 4050's

 

[SuB]

tbh 5.1's enough for anyone

you say that but once you experience the difference...

its a bit like 720p to 1080p

everyone is 'happy' at 720p (well most)

but once you get 1080. you'd never go back, the extra channels do help with sound positioning quite a bit and its UBER for High Def movies

My best mates just upgraded his awesome Jamo 5.1 system to a 7.1 system and the difference is minimal. He's got a very high end Arcam Amp and quite frankly apart from the odd little bit of sounds you barely notice

I agree on the 1080p/720p thing though, once you've gone 1080p you won't go back

 

[mVp24]

We have 6.1

It dominates.

 

[SuB]

i have 7.1 and i'd never go back down

i've spotted the 8.1 option in something i believe thats just another rear channel in the centre though lol.. wow

 

[mrapoc]

yea well my mate technically has 15.4 sound

not that its any more than every speaker giving out the same sound at once...but 4 subs (and bass bins) cannot be bad xD

im still on a good old discontinued creative 5.1 digital setup (possibly worth less than £20 new now)

i'm on a 5.1 system, a sony one that cost me about 400 quid in 2003

I am really thinking about hooking up a 1000watts JBL Sub woofer and a 500watts JBL GTO Amplifier to my PC and need to figure out a way to do so. Probably impossible

 

[FarFarAway]

If those are car audio then you can do it but you shouldn't. House audio just doesn't need that sort of volume. Having 2000w in your car (like I used to) is all very well but it won't sound good in a house

 

[cl0ck_ed]

Sorry if i missed it in your post but what are your front speakers?

 

[FarFarAway]

Cheap but good Gale Moviestars mate
