What does your home cinema look like?

Back to entertainment systems. I know a company that will install a system in your Mayfair basement or your yacht anywhere in the world. 

When he shows his 'secret' client list people just gulp at the names.

Once he asked if the client would like a pre-loading of music onto the system, and was handed the client's phone and told to spend up to £10k on downloads.

 

Happy to pass on your contact details if anyone needs that help.

Please

I can tell you are genuine and can afford it as you haven't asked the cost.

The real question is; how loud you can turn this up before pissing off the neighbours......?

You can get some very big sound from some very small enclosures, but will you ever get to appreciate it is my issue.

 

I've moved to a semi where I am mindful of the neighbour, and strategize when I give my now modest system some welly, but I could not ever dream of cranking my ol' faithful Yamaha DSP A2 up via my ( since sold ) Kef setup or there would have been murders. I used to run 2x Kef ref 104.2's, 2x Kef Q65's 2x Kef Q55's and a 95c with an active  Velodyne subwoofer ( all bought second hand for sub £5k from someone who shed this stuff as soon as the latest replacement arrived at Quinns or A.E. ) and the SPL was just staggeringly good, if you like that sort of thing. I now have gone for audibility second and clarity first, ( with just a bit of subsonic ), achieved by a good ( large ) Samsung sound bar plus an accompanying matched subwoofer, with the sub being hidden away in the corner out of sight where it still rocks the room well enough. Not even close to a whiff of my what my old setup was capable of, but certainly a 'good enough' and compact / discreet enough setup to suit me ( and the neighbour ). I would definitely consider a much bigger and therefore 'visually obtrusive' system later down the line, if |I can ever get into a detached home that is.

 

These days, my sound pollution is contained to my Sprinter, where it does not offend. 3x 12" subs sit directly behind my drivers seat and rattle my ribcage nicely. Kevin and Perry go extra large in there

Good point. Although we have spent a crazy amount of money building a false wall between us and our semi detached neighbours. The party wall was so thin and they are so deaf that I could tell you their exact TV preferences to the minute. They have the TV on all day every day and watch the same soaps and news programmes like clockwork. They spent the first 9 months of our build complaining about noise. Since the false wall made with I studs and SBx board has gone up, no more complaints from them. I looking forward to a house free of Eastenders. I used to love the programme as a kid, but now I have more refined background music taste.

The sound insulation between our tv room and my daughter's bedroom above is not quite so good though!?

All of the soaps nowadays have sod their souls to the devil and "storylines" are in the gutter. People who watch and perpetuate them should be publicly executed without trial.

And I thought I was a political radical for wanting to defund the BBC. Mass execution of Eastender viewers is a final solution for the BBC I had not considered.

It would need to be vetted, to separate out victims who are watching such utter garbage but are not yet completely dependant on it, where then they would qualify for a longer term correctional program of rehabilitation. 
However, I must add a caveat; that if they also watch Hollyoaks then they go straight to for the aforementioned execution without any form of reconsideration. For those, there is absolutely zero hope.

 

”Nick for president!!!!”

 

Moving swiftly on…….

Mr President can I offer a more humane policy.

 

All we need is a BBC subscription model that offers an easy-in and easy-out monthly payment model, the BBC would then get prompt feedback and experience financial pain when its editorial and political bias insults millions of Britons.

In respect of Hollyoaks, no. The grizzlier the death the better.

+1. (This is the neighbour that objected to my planning application 4 times and lied in their objections.)
