RE: UKHA meet pics...

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

I have to agree with Tim ... his setup for HC sounds sweet ... for music
it's really lovely. I don't like using subwoofers for music in the main
which was my one "complaint" (for want of a better word) with
Tim's system
when I heard it (but hell, we all have our own tastes - if we all liked the
same then it'd be boring. Right?)

I don't want my local cinema at home ... I want somewhere that I like to
be!

I considered buying re-upholstered cinema seats for the garage when I do
that but finally decided that although I liked the *IDEA* of it I'd find
them damn uncomfortable and I want to watch a movie in comfort!
