My System: Sky / G4 PowerBook |
I want a quality home cinema kit for Christmas! I’ve been weighing up the pros and cons of the Sony DAV X1. It offers everything I need in terms of playback and style. In fact there’s not much about the system I don’t like! Sony is always my first choice when it comes to electronics but unfortunately that comes at a cost. I’m 95% sold on the DAV X1 but the price tag (rrp £899) is making me think very hard. So before I write my letter to Santa I open the floor to you lot! | ||

| Have you gone into a specialist shop that has various home systems on demo display? As you are just about to part with a grand, its worth going to see just exactly what makes the Sony and others tick.

Before you part with your cash for the Sony check here It only £671.25 + free wall clock.... You may find it cheaper but as CH says go and see/hear the competition first.

My System: 7000S - 300GB Maxtor 1GB USB - Syslink wifi bridge from DB to Syslink wifi router to Apple Extreme streaming relay to Apple G5, 2 xG4. Elgato into G4 17 in for Apple DVB-T captures. Panasonic 42 HD ready Defeater of Dragonii Teqnicali | Altho I'm glued to new Panasonic 42 plama and waiting for HD, I'd like to replace the ageing, not now very sharp, 14 in Sharp CRT in the bedroom with a 17 or 20 in LCD. It must be widescreen and it must have built in DVB-T. Seems rather a dearth of optiions. Went into local Comet (no I wasnt planning to buy from them!) but not much to see. And I forgotten how little the "salespersons" know. Any suggestions. There's a "Wharfedale" 17 in advertised by Argos but they never have it. Too popular or too unreliable?
