Rubi, Bose stuff is damn good, if a bit pricey - I used to have a radio once, dunno what happened to it now I come to think about it!! I've had demo's of their other kit over the years but never purchased any. I went through a 'phase' a good few years back, but my interest in Hi-Fi for it's own sake is all but none existent these days.

On the subject of audio, I just spent the last two or three hours setting up and tweaking a new AV amp (I have a cinema conversion in roof). My old one croaked last weekend and is beyond economical repair so yesterday I made an 'emergency' purchase.

The old one was 'only' 5.1 but I have also added two new speakers and now have a full 7.1 setup. I was 're-acquainting' myself with a selection of DVDs, carefully chosen for acoustic err ... excellence in their various ways. It's really not much more than a budget model (any permanent replacement will have to wait a while) but things at this price point have improved over the years, in some ways anyway - even a calibration mike was thrown in. Great fun, and I was pleasantly impressed - although everything down here now seems rather ... quiet!
