Hi
I've gained a great deal of practical knowledge and experience, which comes from a life long fascination with the machines and electronics that bring sound and vision into our homes.
Beginning with my first childhood projector to a full home cinema installation, I've learned how to do it wrong and (even better) how to get it right.
People were asking me if there was a good website for UK home cinema. I couldn't find one, so I started one.
Keeping up with latest technology is a given for me - it's what I do. Roll on all that great new stuff!

Technical stuff - take it easy:
There's such a huge range of hi-tech digital equipment out there - HDTV's, Plasma TV's, LCD TV's, Projectors, DLP, 5.1 digital sound surround, subwoofers, screens, digital receivers, separates and complete systems.
All you want is a something you can enjoy and afford! It really doesn't have to be difficult. We can all have the same problem when starting - not knowing enough to make good choices. But, you'll easily pick it up as you go along.
The aim of this site is to share with you the do's and don'ts, the latest on equipment and to guide you to make your own right choices - all without too much technical detail.
I'll give you the info step-by-step along with reviews so that you get only the information you actually need. I'll also show you how you can select and buy quality equipment (TVs, tuners, screens, projectors and so on), as well as techniques for set-up and room design. In no time, you'll be enjoying the cinema experience at home.
