    Cheers Andy, looks even better now i have just sorted out the cable routing

    Yes Ali it works a treat chap, much more solid bass than the standard NS1000M & down to about 30Hz, the 4th order bandpass gives an extra 4.5Db output over the standard sealed box (at 30Hz that's equivalent to doubling the physical loudness due to the way our ears work). The sub is also used set to it's lowest xover frequency of 35Hz As soon as the warranty runs out i'll alter that, in fact thinking about it it already has Time i took a look inside i think

    The sub is set a tad low so it integrates better due to the xover being a bit high, but it takes the in room response down to about 17Hz
    Bests, Mark

    Bloody hell Mark, I hope you warned Powergen before the big switch-on so they could increase their generating headroom...

    Nice to see more pics of the Yammies Mark, I hope the Celestions look as good when you finally have time to get to grips with them...

    Looking forward to hearing your modest little system when I pop over...

    Nice job there bud...

    Have you heard from our friend with the rather large stone slabs? Just asking as i can't even remember what his forum monika was

    Funny you should mention the electricity consumption, things are quite warm in here & i'm actually wearing no jumper, just a T shirt It's that P600 Power Plant Dave, i swear the thing is biased high as it's pretty bloomin warm & only supplying 80W to the front end. I reckon it's dissipating about 300W at a guess Think i'll take a look inside & see what the quiescent current is

    The Parasound is just warm, the Mackie a little warmer until the fans kick in on low speed & chill it out for 30 or 40 seconds, it's this P600 that is attempting to imitate a Krell power amp that's cooking the place


    You are welcome over any time fella, stone slabs or not At least this room is a load more presentable than it was, now for some extra seating

    Good to see you about by the way
    Bests, Mark

    I can't remember the chaps name either and I haven't heard from him since before xmas. I could really do with a couple of slabs under my Roger's, and I've also just bought an Airedale 120w Active sub which will definitely need somet under it as it is using the floor as a pretty good sounding board just now...

    PM your addy to me Mark and if the time is right, I could bring the Celestion's with me. Cheers...

    A little bit early for that i'm afraid Dave, still not sorted this end for getting stuff including my own work done


    I don't know many people with 110" screens, in fact i don't know anyone The screen on my wall is 120" & was set up to run with a Sanyo PLV-Z2 720P projector which filled it nicely. Since then i sold it to a freind who has put thousands of hours on the thing, it's due a new bulb but he keeps suggesting i upgrade yet again so he can snaffle my 1080P projector

    Not happening for a good while i'm afraid as this is good enough & i'm not made of money So anyway, this is what having a 110" picture looks like on your wall. Please bear in mind that the picture was paused (which doesn't help) & that you are looking at only 1100 pixels in width (for the full picture) when the projected image is 1920 pixels wide...

    However, having this in front of you is some kind of experience! What might be small on a 42" TV is nearly 3 times the size so it makes it much easier to see details you'd normally miss. It also makes the picture so big that you actually have to look around to see it all

    A bit of Flood which is a BBC blu ray. You can see the Philips 56" 21/9 TV below the projected image to give some scale




    Now to a superbit blu ray, well it might as well be









    A few closer pics





    I need to get the projector calibrated as it works ok with the BD player, i know the TV is bang on but i haven't sorted the PJ yet. No rush, like everything else it all takes time & i have to live
