Two thoughts - or maybe 2.5
The advantage of having your other Actives in their specific rooms is that you could use the second approach for connect ad hoc sources such as some form of music dock

Hi there elephant,
Yes price is the issue as my wife has said I have spent to much and thus the Beosystem 3 is not an option. I am looking at making a change to the setup in the games room, the Sony HX925 is new and still in the box and a friend said he would buy it at what I paid for it. Thus I am looking at getting the Beoplay V1 40" and buying two passive links one for the front and one for the back speaker and thus using the internal speaker as the centre speaker. This would give us surround sound but we would be dropping the TV size from 55" to 40", what do you think?
