HOME CINEMA ELECTRONICS
Home Cinema Electronics are the players for your DVDs or Blu-rays, the sound processor which decodes the audio from the disc or from your Sky HD signal and the amplifiers that drive the speakers.
Blu-ray players are now the de facto standard disc players for home entertainment systems. The first 3D players are entering the market now - we expect there to be a flood before Christmas 2010. If you are buying a player now you need to consider whether you want the 3D features. Some of the more specialised brands will not be releasing 3D players for a few months yet. If 3D is important you may want to hold off.
Don't forget if your fed up with searching for Blu-rays or DVD's in your collection or dealing with the crisis when your child's must have DVD has gone walkies we can install a DVD server. See our Movie and Music Server section for more details.
Some of our favourite Home Cinema Electronics brands are...
Marantz
With a history of over 50 years in the Hi-Fi field Marantz's products are characterised by their exceptional audio quality. At the upper end of the mainstream line of product Marantz offer some of the best performing range of cinema amplifiers on the market today.
The AV8003 and MM8003 Cinema Pre-amplifier and Power amplifier combination has received five star reviews. Combine this with a well respected range of DVD players this is our standard choice for most installations.
On the two-channel audio side Marantz make some of the most respected disc players available. To Marantz - 'Music Matters'. For those who are interested in getting the most out of their CD collection we can put together a wonderful stereo listening room.
Onkyo
From virtually nowhere Onkyo have taken a large segment of the home cinema amplifier market. They have done this by producing feature rich products at attractive prices.
We're not always convinced by the features they include such as the upscaling facilities but they do offer a viable alternative for those on a budget.
