So I bit the bullet bought myself a pair of M80's and a VP150. From what I saw on saturday - they are on their way.

I equally redid my HT cabinet, repositioned the 3808 and gave it the maximum available headroom (still only 6cm..), but I fitted - as suggested in this thread - a DC fan with a small psu fed by the aux vac output of the AVR. Works pretty good. The ambiant temp of the AVR at 1cm above the grill at the rear reaches a maximum of approx 40/41 degrees celsius after acouple of hours working. I suppose this is okay ?? If not let me know please. Perhaps I need to fit 2 add fans jsut to be sure (dim / piece is 6x6x2 cm - 12vdc but running on 7.5vdc to limit noise)

Now - the only temptation left perhaps is a matching sub ...... what do you guys recommend .... (I currently have a B&W PV1 sub)

thanks
