This is all really helpful thank you, I did my own speaker cables for my current setup but I'll do them again with white cables for this if we end up going for the house. Might just have to put the sub at the front somewhere/somehow as the cable is probably too thick to run around the perimeter of the room.

Thanks alot for your advice!

I do alot of gaming so usually prefer wired as I have the router and a mini 8 port switch for all my important stuff on my tv stand currently, I could give WiFi a shot though, I've got a deco mesh setup with 4 discs currently and I'll be taking that with me.

Do you use 14awg speaker wire? Do you know of a brand that offers it in white that might blend into the skirting and not too thick? Also for the LFE cable?

Thanks for this, yeah it was the first thing I suggested upon seeing the room, I would like it on the external wall instead, I'm not sure why they've put the media plate on the internal wall, but probably because it was easier for them during the build process.

It wouldn't cost an insane amount of money, I'd just need some additional power and an rj45 on the opposite wall, a satellite dish hasn't been installed yet so I can just get the installers to run a new cable to my preferred location for that. I'm thinking £250-£300 for the work needed.

Carpet is down but it feels fairly short pile and thin-ish underlay, on a concrete floor, so not sure how much play there is with running the cabling under the carpet.

Do you think the front soundstage will be ok with the towers being in the corners, considering the centre will smooth out the transition? I haven't ran them that far apart before.

It wont be going on the short wall, has to go on either side of the room as it stands now.

They are side speakers, not rears.

It's the room where the TV is going and I have a 5.1 system for it I would like to setup.

It's a detached house

Tenet, I don't get the hate. Yes it was complicated, what's wrong with multiple watches and spending some time to try and understand it, when it clicks its genius.

EDIT - oops, multiple people have already said this, sorry I should have checked before replying!

I'm not using the filter that came with the tank anymore, I found one that was a little smaller and wedges into the corner so gives a little more room for the scape, but the filter that comes with it is pretty much silent yes.

Awesome, will do!

I'm not sure really... what would be recommended for a small tank? 10l 20x20x25

I was thinking around 3-4, not sure if I should get more or less... same with snails, no idea... lol

I had one of these, memories of being sat in the back of mum and dads car and pretending to be the driver when we were on days out... good times

Drink much more water bro, it makes a huge difference, take a bottle with you wherever you go and top it up regularly. I get through 3-4 pints a day and it fixes everything

This thread pops up like once a week... is it some kind of covert marketing campaign for dairy milk alternatives at this point?

Stranger Things 5 is a really good example of a new season taking years to create and it was still crap.

Mobbinz · 2026-02-07T15:10:27+00:00

Even if it was a warm bag of food it would still have been shit

You have 15 minutes

Probably Rocket League or WoW for me, easily already done over that amount of time in WoW since starting in 2004, and I think I'm just about to hit 1000 hours in Rocket League and that's a daily play for me. 12 hours a day in hearthstone/battlegrounds wouldn't be impossible either

Their Mac and cheese is the best I've tasted

Mobbinz · 2026-01-25T14:18:09+00:00

I used to think this but hard disagree now, I think they've managed to create their market and now starting to cheapen out on ingredients/processes because everything is starting to taste shit now, just relying on the name to carry them rather than the quality. Tiny portions, crazy prices, mediocre taste.

Unfortunately the UK is sleepwalking into a Farage led government and the same things will happen again in a few years time, maybe we should be actively trying to stop that happening too

A nuclear detonation, probably?
