Looking forward to seeing the pictures and hoping you have a silly big grin by now.

It's a bit dark for photo's but all I can say is wow...

Superb day, fun with install and set up, the guys were amazing throughout.

As for the sound, well the staging and "space" compared to the 7200SE's is just staggering. It's just effortless. I've gone back to 2 channel for Music and it's just sublime.

Clearly lots more listening to do and lots of burn in, but we have a very happy camper here. Very very VERY happy.

Nostalgically it feels like quite a milestone for me, from the graduate who found a dusty pair of Rosewood 18 bit 5k's and a 200 Transport in a back room of Huddersfield HiFi in the mid 90's, through to today.

I've enjoyed every minute of the journey, and I'm sure going to keep enjoying it now!

Photo's on their way hopefully tomorrow...

Now, is the time for listening and enjoying.

Here we go......

I still can't quite get my head around the difference in imaging, it's really hard to comprehend. Needless to say I like it!

haha, I think I may look at a cabinet upgrade like the one on here some time back in the Netherlands.

"Hiding" the 72HC I think would help especially as I can then drop the TV and not be staring at the 72!

TV is already 65, so above that gets a bit more punchy and I'm completely skint after these bad boys. And philips (who do the Ambilight I love so much) have not released bigger than 65 inch since 2012, when their 84 inch was £12,500!!!!

So for the moment I'll struggle along with my pokey little TV smile

Do you run side/rear channels and if so what speakers do you use?
