Yes, it's a possibility... but... Part of me would love to have surround-sound... It would be mainly for movie-watching, though the number of 5.1 remixes seems to be rising. Also, one of my passions is ambient music (I have an insane number of Steve Roach albums, and my ambient dynamic playlist probably gets more hits than anything else) and I've always thought they'd sound great in surround-sound (albeit faked). However, our living-room just isn't geared-up for it; there really isn't anywhere suitable to put the rear speakers. I do wonder whether one of those soundbar things would be good enough for us. I think for now at least, lots of inputs is a requirement. Basically, I'm hoping I like the Cyrus 8 XP tomorrow :-) But if my relationship with the guys at Audio-T/Sevenoaks is the same as it was 15 years ago, I'll probably come home with the Arcam surround-amp, lots of speakers, and plans for a radical rearrangement of the living-room :-) . -- Brian -- Brian Ritchie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Ritchie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2319 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90915 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
