Bigger sound

[Shahid]

At the moment I listen through my Sony 10W +10W TV.
Do you think it's worth getting an amplifer with wharferdale 50W speakers to play my satellite, Video through.
Do any of you lot listen through powerful a speaker system?

I listen most of the time through my PC speakers, they've got a subwoofer though. It depends whether you've got any neighbours that you want to annoy.

I've got mine (and the TV) wired up to externally mounted hi-fi speakers. The improvement is not just in sound quality but also stereo separation. I recommend doing it. Makes the whole experience much more enjoyable (especially if you have a large-screen TV).

Hello All

Did you know that if you take the two + signals from your stereo output, and feed them as + and - to an amplifier, you will extract the rear channel of Dolby Surround?

I thought this was a joke when I first saw it on a web page, but I tried it, and it does work.

Kind regards

OK, so you just take a second feed off the positives and run them to a third speaker? I'll give it a try.

If I find the other pages I will let you know.

Yes plug the stereo outs from your sat box to your pro-logic/dolby5.1 amp sit back turn it up and enjoy. Turns any tv into something special,I wired up a 15 year old tv 26" once,turned down the lights turned up the sound and was well pleased until I splashed out on widescreen.
