Ping Home Cinema buffs
I thought this would be better than reviving the old thread.
What's a good home cinema set up for a 14 foot square room please?
Getting a 32" console (and let's face it, 32" would console anyone, boom tish) LCD TV and need a pretty good cinema sound system to back it up.
My DVD player cost œ13 from Asda so I guess I'd have to upgrade that too...?

The only solution is to buy a second hand tardis.
14 foot diameter, circumference, whatever. The walls are 14 foot apart, sheesh.
I want the whole cinematic experience so that all the way through the fillum I can hear:
"Rustle rustle rustle, cough cough, pass the maltesers, what film's he been in, I know his face, he was in that film with that woman, hello! I'm in the cinema!"
FWIW 14 x 14 gives you 196 sq ft. Positively widescreen.

Speakers are like wheels on a bike. They are the first upgrade to any sound system and the more you spend the better they get.

My bike only cost a bit more than that!
But you won't get much for œ40 I'm afraid. [:0]
Oh, and if I were you I wouldn't bother changing your DVD now, as high definition players will be along at more reasonable prices very shortly.

I'll pop into the London Bridge one and ask a few questions.
Ta Uncle, the funny thing is tho when you call Richer Sounds and ask about the end of line stuff that the website says they have, they get a bit evasive and off-putting and say things like:

Nah, they're pretty straight up - they pile it high and sell it reasonably cheap, but they aren't cowboys in my exp.

The good ones aren't bad but you'll still need a separate sub to get the 'cinema' effect.

In my view, unless you're spending serious cash, stick with a decent 2-channel hifi and pipe your telly through that. In my experience the sound quality is far better than the home cinema rubbish in Curry's, and of course it'll sound great for music too.

This is good advice. I'd go secondhand, you could find a pretty good entry level hifi amp, say Arcam, Rotel etc. and some monitor speakers from KEF, Mission or Acoustic Energy for œ100-150. People often upgrade what is perfectly good and often pretty new kit. It'll sound much better then those 5-speaker cheap integrated packages, which apart from the fact they "do surround sound" have nothing whatsoever to recommend them.
