    It really is that big: I had intended locating it under the TV on its trolly, but it won't fit! It's about 2mm too high. I'm going to have to "rethink my act Man".
    First dibs if you decide to sell it Barry I need two of the blasted things just to power the stuff that'll be in my rack

    Thanks Barry - actually I'm the "interior designer" usually, and came up with most of the colours in the house. Not my choice on cushions though - useless things cushions, no man should ever buy cushions!

    The room only looks that neat once a week on a Saturday - after the housework but before Avatar gets up from her morning nap!

    Not sure that is correct Dave - not even my hand, it must be at least be a whole arm she twists me around! I'm dreading the teens already!

    Well, based on a couple of albums last night, and one so far this evening (plus a bit of casual listening with guests) - repositioning my speakers into a more ideal layout has been a revelation... I'm hearing a proper stereo image in this house for the first time, and one that I've only ever really experienced with headphones before. Yep, absolutely the best upgrade I've made in 6 years since living here - if I'd spent a grand to get this sort of improvement I would have been happy (no DSJR, that doesn't mean you can send me a "consultancy" bill! ) I'm just wondering why the hell it took me so long!

    Well, you needed an experienced expert Guru to "show you the one true way."

    The bill is in the post...........
