Thanks,I also got this model to keep all the cables tidy, another tick from the missus, otherwise the 500M is a good bet.

Fortunately my amp also does video switching so I only need to run one HDMI and one power cable to the panel anyway. Otherwise it would be a nightmare and not very wife-friendly as you say!

but if you ever wanted a reson to upgrade, you will probably know that Pioneer will stop production of Plasma's soon.

Yeah, I heard a while back that the plan was to share their technology with Panasonic and use them as manufacturing arm. I don't know whether this is still the plan though.

If there is still stock around in a couple of months then (pending a contract extension) I might be tempted to upgrade. Anyone want to buy a second hand 507XD?

Awesome piece of kit that. I really fancy the KRP-500M (same as above but without the media box) but can't really justify upgrading from our Pioneer 507XD just yet.

Cheers - it's my pride and joy. Good call with the sub - That XLS200 really packs a punch. Mine's the DF as well in gloss black - In fact all of my speakers are gloss black - the Quads are on Atacama Aurora 6 glass stands with black and silver granite fillings.

Looks like the mutts and sounds quite good too....

Sounds like you have quite a set-up there. That sub really does pack a punch doesn't it - I was torn between that and the Monolith at the time, but judging from the performance of the XLS the Monolith might have caused structural damage to my house!

I have 5 Gallo Nucleus Micro's (still haven't fitted the centre one though) which are great for movies but I really need something else for music, so I'm trying to convince Lady VF that we need some nice Mission floor standers that I can run off a seperate 2 channel zone on the Denon AVR-2307.

Some great kit there Lockhouse. I have a BK XLS200-DF MK2 in Cherry - it's so nice it's almost a piece of furniture.

Nice one!

I'd have worked my way through the beer too quickly, and ended up with a tricycle!

Got an off-the-shelf Focus Mares Expert to experiment with for a while. Entry level really. This weekend will be my first time ever with proper pedals. I anticipate one or two comedy slow-motion falls before I get used to them.

I've adjusted the clips on mine so the left foot is looser so I can put my foot down if needed.......in two years with the clips I've only needed to once....

Asics Kayanos for the feet - Garmin Forerunner for the wrist - maybe something for the in-between

well not grey running shorts, I could not work out why I was getting looks from the ladies on the way in, swetty jocks show through grey shorts!

It's a Pioneer KRP-500 ABG and it's stunning.
