[Jonty]

Hello My name is Jonty Hobson, I live in Poole Dorset Uk. I am orginally from Cape Town SA, Moved here when I was 16, which is a long time ago.:eek:

I work for a Company called Sony you may have heard of them? ;)

I have always been a big concert go-er all my life but only bought some audio gear about 15 years ago.

About 4 years ago I had an extension built on the house and we made it a Home Cinema/Music/play room. My wife plays Guitar and Ukelele.
One of the walls has out 800+ cd collection plus some films and music videos etc.

I use a Meridian G68 Processor and a Sony BD player for disc spinning duties (CD/DVD/BR) attached to the Meridian. I have 3 x DSP5200 speakers across the front and as of 3 weeks ago I have 4 DSP3200 acros the back/side.

I big Beamax drop down screen for film duties and a Panasonic AE4000 PJ.

So there you have it.

Welcome and enjoy your stay. As you work for them does that mean you have to pretend to like there HiFi? (sorry audio equipment)

Oooh another AV person through the gate :) Welcome to AoS Jonty, that's a rather nice set of seven speakers you have there - must be a decent job you have, well done :eyebrows:

If i'm not mistaken that would be one of the newer Panasonic projectors, also very nice...

All the best & i hope you enjoy your stay :cool:

[Jonty]

The Panasonic AE4000 is an LCD PJ that even out of the box has a very neutral colour palette. I had a professional calibration and the standard setting are remarkably very close to the calibrated ones.

The speakers are fabulous and as accurate as I can imagine after the dsp sweep and set up. All in all I am very very pleased with the output both music and films.

Welcome to AoS, Jonty. Interestingly different system you have there, a real contrast for many of us.

Hi Jonty.
Welcome and all that.
That G68 is an interesting bit of kit.

[Jonty]

Thank you for your kind greetings.

My system is not just an AV system, it is a fabulous music system. The Av bit is also fabulous.

The G68 is a grea design and the software that runs it is also excellent

My system is not just an AV system, it is a fabulous music system. The Av bit is also fabulous.
Likewise Jonty, I did things a little differently though ;) I let the BD & DVD players decode the audio & feed into an Audio Research Corp MP1 pre amp..

You'll find allsorts here chap, no way is wrong at the end of the day! I'm pretty sure i have allocated more for music reproduction though money wise as it's my priority still at the end of the day :)
