    Ok thanks, time will tell I suppose, nice to have a dedicated space for music and we’ll just keep the 7ft wide screen to project onto when we want a movie on, finding space for the av amp and media player is going to be an issue though

    I had Tannoy Autographs built in the run up to a new house purchase. They were going to go in the corners of the living room which involved closing up the existing living room door off the hallway ( so entry was from the kitchen only).

    Day we moved in that option was taken off the table - but the Autographs were already half built. They arrived and sure enough didn't fit the other way round (blocking off a chunk of window no laughing matter at well over 5ft tall and almost 4ft wide at widest point. Sadly they had to go.

    I think you'll be fine, though I'd try to get the listening position a bit closer that's a very deep triangle.

    Will do, I've just plonked the speakers down just now, I'll be moving rest of the gear today or tomorrow and will need to use my PMC's in the meantime. But even that will be an interesting experiment.

    Definitely worth experimenting ... Tannoys can work extremely well near field (unsurprising I guess from their studio heritage) so worth giving that a go as well.

    Woke up at 3:43am wide awake so browsed internet until 5:40 then went back to sleep

    Going to move the rest of the kit just shortly, hope I hear about my drivers soon.

    Kit now moved. Took out the Xiang Sheng DAC/Pre in favour on my TQ Claymore Amp as a Pre Amp, gives me remote control and better audio than the Xiang.

    Have to say it sounds dreadful
