Hi all,
Mainly just 2 questions.
Question 1 (which may negate the requirement for an answer to question 2 !)
I have not yet decided on a receiver yet though I have concerns over ventilation.
I would have approx. 75mm at each side and 250mm above when fitted in open unit with solid back. Is this sufficient ?
There is just me and the wife and volumes are rarely megal loud. Room is 4m x4m with 2.4m ceiling. Between TV, Pod and radio, unit will be on 8 - 10 hrs per day
Question 2
Receiver wise I intended to spend about £250 but my wife really likes SonySTRDH820. I really have no preference. Toys like airplay etc. are not really necessary though Ipod play is a must, preferably without a dock. 4 HDMI in. Buying used is difficult as I live on a Scottish island which makes shipping a dead weight like a boxed receiver unviable, so the receiver must be bought on a visit to Glasgow.....Richer or Sevenoaks. The usual suspects are under investigation Denon, Yamaha, Pioneer etc.
The receiver will be used with KEF Eggs 2005.2 and, eventually sub.
Any info regarding ventilation and choice of receiver gratefully received.
