First of all, WTF? Glass tables are in? I'm just about to throw one out. Well, if glass is hip again it's for sale; Bid high!
Thanks for your replies. I can easily put another circuit in the new room. After all, I'm doing my own electrical work.
I've learned a lot about good and bad rooms in the last few years. Both a mate and me have gone from reasonably good acoustics to really bad ones. The room I'm in now looks awesome but sounds the opposite. It's a shame how lots of us seem to have spent a small fortune on our systems only to have them sound sub optimal because of the rooms we have to put them in. Anyway, one day I'll get my room and I'll go all out on room treatment. If you ask me what's the most important for great sound I'll probably go something like this:
1. Room and treatment.
2. Speakers and placement.
3. Source material (recording / mastering)
4. Amplification
5. Source
6. Power
The reason I bought into Devialet is because I have a lot of bad source material and with the Devialet at least I have a choice to play with bass and treble a bit so maybe 3 and 4 can be switched around.
