Of course I made the same mistake as I did last time I ordered speakers and assumed they were much smaller than they were.\u00c2\u00a0 So we have had to rearrange the living room to accommodate the subwoofer which is bigger than the dog.<a href=\"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/07082007040.jpg\" title=\"Bigger than Sam\"> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/07082007040.jpg\" title=\"Bigger than Sam\"><img src=\"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/07082007040.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Bigger than Sam\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was very easy to set-up mainly because it has a co-ax input for the DVD player, optical for the Sky+ box and analogue for the PC. The analogue inputs seem to have a problem but the digital ones work a treat. Whilst Julie was sceptical at first, a fortunate appearance by Bon Jovi on tone of the music channels soon helped her appreciate the bass response from the sub woofer. <a href=\"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/07082007044.jpg\" title=\"Julie loves Jon Bon Jovi\"><img src=\"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/07082007044.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Julie loves Jon Bon Jovi\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The sub woofer is of course a rather prominent part of the living room now. And the vast array of remote controls we now own is making a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logitech.com\/index.cfm\/remotes\/&amp;cl=gb,en\" target=\"_blank\">universal remote<\/a> look very attractive. But to finally have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.logitech.com\/index.cfm\/speakers_audio\/home_pc_speakers\/devices\/224&amp;cl=gb,en\" target=\"_blank\">THX-certified, DTS capable Dolby 5.1 system<\/a> with an awesome bass is worth the little extra thinking time required.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/07082007043.jpg\" title=\"Spot the speaker\"><img src=\"http:\/\/simkin.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/08\/07082007043.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Spot the speaker\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I would recommend this set-up for anyone not wanting a complicated home cinema receiver or wanting to avoid the compromises when going for a combined DVD player\/receiver unit. I do however pity the person who buys this to run off their home PC as it is severe overkill unless they use it as a living room DVD player\/media centre\/games console. In which case, you don&#8217;t want to go buying anything else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I splashed out on a new set of speakers for the living room.
