Lifestyle AV often have them. I also have some in my parts box which I probably won't use.

Thanks guys

I emailed Steve - he does not sell them but has recommended using brush wall plates that I'd never heard of before but look to be a very sensible and cost effective solution

Cheers

Hi h1npw,

I used to sell the Powerlink wall plates but I was quite concerned over how fragile they appeared to be (in my view), plus I didn't like the fact that they added additional unnecessary connection points along the length of each speaker cable.  I use the brush wall plates in my own home (http://soundsheavenly.com/hifi-av/128-brush-wall-plate.html?search_query=brush&results=1) as they allow the cables to pass neatly out of the walls, without any loss of reliability or sound quality.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi there

Just doing my usual eBay stalking of products about to end and I see there is a PL built into faceplate on this evening

Don't know if you were still looking so just a heads up

Another alternative (if you don't mind a little soldering) is to purchase a blank plate from the same range as the rest of your sockets and switches and simply drill one or more (usually 18mm diameter) holes in them, then fit panel mount din sockets (the type with a thread and lock nut). This has the advantage of matching the rest of the faceplates in the room.

Kind Regards,

Martin.
