Re: My B&W XT set up
Very nice, may I ask what Multiroom setup and home automation system you are running? Screenshots would be great.





Cheers

Re: My B&W XT set up
@markiedee, JMB147,

many thanks

@dunks517

I don't have multiroom only home automation.
That is a Bticino MY HOME touchscreen. I can control temp, light, shutters with it. If you want you can also have multiroom audio. The possibilities are endless.
I have a touchscreen in the main room too but in color. The one in the bedroom is black&white. I'll post pics later.

Many thanks alz2605



@Dubliner1

My distance to the screen is almost 4m so a 60" would be possible. I was thinking of a PDP-LX6090. On the other hand with 3D screens(panasonic and sony) coming next year I'm not sure what to do.

Re: My B&W XT set up
@rustyman1

Thanks for the compliments

I could have a Rotel RMB-1095 at a fair price. So I'd use the Denon 3808 as a pre/pro.
The only problem, I have a lot of other plans such as upgrading the surround speakers. Can't do it all the same time. So....

Thanks for that

Do you have the i-box?
The site isn't the easiest to navigate. Did you buy direct as I don't see any distributors?

Re: My B&W XT set up
Hey Magic - came here following your comment on my set up thread and WOW! Really like your style and Kudos to you!

Looks like we both like B&W and Pioneer

Love the XT's especially the PV1 in that colour - does show it off much better than my ones in Black and as others have said, love the AV stand and just the whole look of your place
