    I've moved house recently and my living room is PERFECT shape and size for a proper sound system.
    It's not cheap obviously and still only entry level in the world of a proper set up but it'll give me something good to build on in the future.

    Pros -
    Great sound quality that handles itself well between music and movies
    Looks great

    Cons -
    Can I really justify a slab of money on a speaker system?
    Baby due in Feb so I'll have to turn the volume down again but I'm not in this for the volume, I'm in for the quality
    I don't watch movies really. Mostly TV. But I'm more than happy to buy the great shows again on blu ray and things like Netflix still has 5.1 sound channels built into to everything.

    Anyway, I need some guidance here!

    Here is the set up:
