The Kef sits perfectly with the angled foot.<br />Obviously it's also a better quality speaker than the standard set ones.<br />I also use my system to listen to the radio,cd,sacd etc so in order to have the center speaker operating I would have to have the tv on(If I were using the tv's ones)<br />Just a point of note,I noticed the standard sets speakers are not magnetically sheilded,which seems very hard to beleive as they are only 6inches from the lamps.So I removed them.(dont use them anyway)<br />Incedently after removal the convergence was quite a way out.So they was having an effect on something.<br />I've checked the geometry/convergence with video essentials and all is now o.k<br />Simon

To be quite honest I couldn't beleive it at first,but the post speaker convergence seemed to prove it.

Hi<br />Obviously you mean 100hz.Your best bet may be to but a set with 100/50hz switchable.That's what I have just done,you can then choose if and when you want to swap them.

Have just got a JVC 32WFT1 - VERY impressive picture. Only one RGB scart, so I bought a switchbox to connect DVD / Digibox and Playstation to it.

Highly recommended.
