PJ HiFi installs

PJ Hi-Fi, in Guildford, the hub city of Britain's wealthiest county, is the place to find an exceptional home cinema demo room. The sound system is all Genelec, of course, and it features a Barco Cine CRT projector, a 7.5ft wide Studiotek 130 microperf from Stewart Filmscreen and Lumagen VisionPro HDP Video Scaler. An Arcam AV8 processor and Genelec D18A Active Balancer complete the lineup.

This is what Hamish McNair-Wilson, Editor of What's New in Sound and Vision made of it all
'Whether I found myself viewing the latest Master and Commander DVD, Lord of the Rings from a DTS demo disk or even HDTV, the pictures and in particular the sounds were awe-inspiring, In Master and Commander you could feel every lurch of the ship as the bass reverberated around the room, yet also make out the subtlest pattering of feet on the deck above and discern the most distant yelp. Like no other home cinema set-up I've come across, it thrust you into the environment of the movie on screen and enabled you to live and breathe the action.'

'The audacious, earth-shaking sonic performance was relayed by an active speaker system comprising Genelec 1037C's at the left, right and centre, Genelec AIW26's In-Wall at the side left and surround back and right. It is these, supported by two of Genelec's HTS4 Subwoofers, that really seem to make things happen and their presence here alone is enough to boost Genelec's ever burgeoning credentials and reputation.'

Guildford is now home to one of the finest examples of home cinema to be seen in the UK.
