Setup consists of a 40 inch Sony Bravia flatscreen 1080p TV rigged up to a 1000w 6.1 surround system with subwoofer (190w), central and 2 satellite speakers (135w each) to the front and a central and two satellites to the rear of the seating area. The extra speaker a 6.1 system gives you is really worth it, filling in the ‘flatspot’ behing your head and making FP shooters (my favourite genre) all the more realistic. The TV could have a better response (68ms) if I’m honest, but the picture is amazingly sharp and clear with great contrast ratio and definition.

Not shown here are a Sega Dreamcast, N64, a load of Sinclair computers and a selection of Ataris from the 70’s and 80’s including a 2600CX ‘Woody’ for some good old retro gaming which are set up as and when needed.
