Well, success! Main system back working again, no more slumming it with the TV system.
Enjoy!

None of those cables I sent any use Martin?
Bit redundant then weren’t they I guess, sorry.
was wondering why there was no bass with these new speaker cables. Okay they're a lot thinner than the old ones but shouldn't make any difference over just ten foot.
Speaker out of phase? Checked my connections all seem okay. Added a bass shelf with PEQ 1.0 dB from 20 to 100 Hz. Sort of better, but still no. Increased it to 1.5, still no.
Today, even though I sit off axis it occurred to me that the balance between the speakers was not right. Moved on axis it's clear that it's way off. Has to be out of phase or something is broken.
Checked all connections again. Sure enough one speaker is connected out of phase even though I'd checked it yesterday and deemed it okay.
The only way to tell with these cables is to look at which one has the tiny writing on it. I'd used a twist of gaffer tape to indicate the cable assigned to positive, but despite that I'd still managed to connect one wrong :doh:
Should know by now not to trust myself to check properly the first time. Swapped it round and bass is back even without the PEQ but I've left the bass boost in for now although reduced it to 1dB.
