The Beast
On Tuesday I bought a giant Sony STR-DA1200ES surround receiver from richer sounds.
I found an advert in What Hifi Sound & Vision
which listed it at £100 below the list price. Maybe a misprint? Anyways, the chap in richer sounds knocked £100 off!
Just one or two tiny problems with my fantastic impulse buy:

- It's huge! It weighs 17kg and I bought it from the richer sounds next to work. So I had to carry it home. My arms still hurt.
- It's huge! It doesn't fit on any of our furniture. So I've bought a nice AV unit from eBay to put it on.
- I don't have any speakers. Now this is a big one. Why did I buy a surround amp without any speakers? Off to buy a set of these at the weekend.
- One more. I don't have any cables either. Need to pop into Maplin at the weekend.

It's a beast, I'll give you that, but I still prefer the simplicity of the Yamaha YSP-1000's. No faffing with cables or speakers.
From the looks of the image it'll balance itself automagically using a mic which is nice.
Now, how am I going to get a 46" LCD home? :D
Consider yourself lucky you weren't trying to get it home today :)
cool speakers
