Hi,

Have just moved out, got a job etc. so I've been researching into
putting
together a proper hi-fi rather than the Aiwi midi system I've got at the
moment.

Hi James

One or two thoughts occur to me.
First of all, at risk of sounding like a ludite, I believe that audio
reproduction only needs 2 channels.
Secondly - if your partner is playing "Crash Bandicoot" while watching The
Magnificent Seven for the twentieth time then you might be toiling to find
time to listen to music.

Why not set up a cinema system and a Hi-Fi as 2 sepparate entities?

The Hi-fi can be a fairly simple afair and will let you listen to / edit
your MDs in peace while your other half lays waste to alien invaders.

Thanks for the info David, I'll have a think about the stereo setup option
before I make a final decision.

Cheers,

James
