Finally Finished My Home Move
After one of the longest home purchases ever thanks to the difficulty in getting mortgages at the moment, I finally moved into my new home last Monday. Packing for the move and unpacking after the move effectively took me out of action every evening for the last two weeks as I couldn’t get the time off work.
The next time I move home I will insist on getting time of work as the stress levels were unbelievable, and I’ll also make sure I do the following:
- Warn the rest of the Connected Internet team that I won’t be around for a few weeks
- Upgrade at least one of the team to admin so that they can catch all the spam
- Make sure that the new place has broadband installed on day one
- Buy a decent tool to strip speaker wires
- Make sure that I have spare cabling as mistakes are bound to happen!
- Put an ‘out of office’ message on my email to stop people chasing me and sending the same over and over and over again…
- Buy a spare mobile battery
- Plan in advance how all my AV kit is going to be connected, as it’s really annoying being short of a cable or two….
As part of the move I’ve made a number of upgrades to my TVs, hi-fi and computers, including my new awesome AV rig pictured below:
I haven’t actually watched a full movie yet as I’ve been trying to get all the settings just right.. I haven’t quite worked out how to get the best out of my speakers when playing music, but for movies the bass in particular is immense. Expect more details about my various upgrades over the next couple of weeks
And before you ask, no I’m not watching a porno - it’s a scene from 300!

Have you gone the SVS route. Are you using SVS for the rears and sub?
Which leads to my next question.
What is your setup?
