For my humble living room, I have set the following home entertainment centre, minus game console:-
Display: Panasonic VIERA TH-P42X28K Plasma HDTV
Networked Media Jukebox: Popcorn Hour A-200
Integrated Amplifier: Cambridge Audio Azur 340A SE
DAC (Digital/Analogue Converter): DacMagic Digital to Analogue Converter
Bookshelf Speakers: PSB Alpha B1 Monitor
Subwoofer: Mordaunt-Short Carnival 9 subwoofer
RCA Interconnects: QED & Cable Talk
IPTV Box: Supplied by Unifi (High Speed Broadband Service Provider)
Speaker Cable: Acoustic Research HT Pro Series 16-Gauge (Oxygen-free copper)
Speaker Stands: Cannot be used currently due to the size of my TV rack and Living room width
Having these items are really challenging for me to tune my audiophile music up to my preference and trust me, it took me days to do it! Even so, until now, it is still not 100% and this is the enjoyable process of testing and tuning the audio output.
Since my current cabinet is too long, I cannot use speaker stands, and temporarily I have to rely on the cabinet. The best solution in near future would be a proper AV cabinet with a pair of nice speaker stands for my PSB Alphas.

could you tell me how you connected your sub to the CAMBRIDGE Azur 340A, because im thinking of buying that amplifier but i didnt think it was possible to connect a sub because it dosnt have "pre out"
thanks
According to some readings, CA team does test the Azur with Mordaunt's sub. Due to that, I have downloaded the Mordaunt's (subwoofer) installation manual and tested the connection - it works!
Once downloaded the installation guide, just look for Connection number 3.4 [Connect to left and right Line inputs if using with a 2-channel hi-fi system with no pre-out.]
If you cannot find the manual, just leave your e-mail and I shall provide you the pdf file. :)
nice! I just ordered the amplifier for my 2.0 system, but its nice to know that I have the option to add a sub later on. Cant seem to find the manual tho.
my email is martzlunk@gmail.com
thanks!
Well, there's always some flexibility. Manual sent. :)
Have good time with your setup!
