Hi Ron,

As usual, you are right in everything that you say and, again as usual, I agree with you.

However, I have to decide whether I will use the same system for music and for cinema. Most of my time, by far, is spent listening to music. This would mean that 3 x D8ks at the front is the choice without question - I've tried it and it wowed me.

I have even got an architect friend to design me a special home theater room, and we looked at ways of accommodating 3 D8ks at the front both for music and for cinema. Unfortunately, structurally the room is already built as a basement to my home and there are deep strong foundations under it, so any ideas of lifting the centre D8k into a pit for movies and out for music were rejected.
Similarly, there are height limitations to mounting a 7200HC above the screen and moving the centre D8k in and out of position. Basically, there has to be too much speaker moving if we are to have 3 x D8ks and use the system for movies.

All the family loves the system but I have just one vote and my kids four - so I lose everytime I say use another system for movies!

Maybe a rolling stand of some sort for the centre D8k would be the best solution because, as you know, they are back-breakers and we are growing older every day!

You know, of course, that 5xD8ks is best (by far), I am happy that people who perhaps didn't quite believe what we were saying became believers after HH2 day and, no, you are not interfering at all - your opinion is very highly rated here!

Sorry I missed you at HH2 - I asked for you but was told that you were not there.
