Just bought a brand new
Pioneer VSX 2021
Pioneer BDP 440 ( both controlled via AirPlay iPad)
B&W 603 S3 - Fronts
B&W 600 S3 - Rears
MS centre speaker
KEF Sub
Cambridge Audio ID100 ( unused and for sale if anyone is interested)

All a bit mis matched, but it will do me for now.

Best bit for me is spotify via AirPlay.

Just realised I have our old showroom program loaded onto my iPad. We know have two way control on the volume at the bottom so it gives us feedback. This also works in conjunction with a smaller remote (RTI T1-B) which also controls the iPad. For example, if you select Blu-Ray on the T1-B the iPad page will switch to it too

Can also be switched to a landscape version

Surely u should of matched ur fronts with the centre?

Should of, but I bought the fronts years ago- and was given the centre as a freebie replacement.

If the right centre is still available then I should buy one.

Mine had to be wife and toddler friendly so no big speakers or floorstands.
It also had to look minimal and nice, as much as I'd like to have my own way it's a family home.
For all the Bose haters they do the job very well and look nice so sshhhhh.

I can't be arsed to look at model No's.

My eyes. Those cables.

Work in progress lol

As well as power, optical and network cables...
I've always thought the glass stands look nice in the shops etc but are a nightmare in reality for hiding the cables..

Indeed. I'm still considering mouting to hide those cables!

The cables, the carpet, the PS3 box, sort it out!

I rent... I'm not renewing the carpet. I own a PS3 and an Xbox... lol

Il post my progress with mine in here me-thinks...

Just bought a new house and have this nice space to fit my TV into..

There are Blue LED chav lights around the edge.

At the moment I have put up my 42" Samsung Plasma although im not too happy with how its sitting. I cant have it flat to the wall as the bracket I have makes it wayyyy too tight to get in and connect stuff up :(

So at the minute its like this angled down....I plan to get a better bracket so I can adjust it as I dont like it sitting down like that. It hides the lights at the top.

My next step before I get too far is to get a new aerial fitted and feed that in place. Then in the alcove underneath il be building some form of shelving to hold the PS3 etc.

Im on the lookout for surround sound of some sort but no idea what I should get.

Need to decide if you want floor standing speakers or wall mounted Richy.... If you want something you just buy in a box or individual amps and speakers etc.

Budget and requirements will help the guru's help you.
 
  Bumder With A Buffer
Budget isn't an issue but put it this way I dont like spending money if that makes sense!!

Im thinking wall mounted speakers behind the sofa thats infront of the TV. Floor standers might impede getting in and out of the doors.
 
  Bumder With A Buffer
Aye is done that but what I mean is the bracket I have doesn't keep the tv far enough from the wall to be able to fit properly.

It catches on the hdmi/aerial leads.

It is a cheap bracket :eek:

Buy a decent amp... Then you only need to run one hdmi and one power lead to the tv as long as your tv supports ARC? If not you will need to run an optical cable too but that's all... I'm in love with my onkyo 609 and richer sounds have it for £370 ATM I think.... Then budget for about the same if not more on speakers and you have a really good system....

sore neck watching that guaranteed, far too high up the wall.

I may well change it eventually but for now its staying put.....that will go on my job list which is ever increasing!

Why don't you just space the bracket out to bring it about 10mm back from the front edge of that alcove?

Just get some MDF behind the bracket

I was going to start a new thread but then remembered this one...

Well I thought I'd show you a few updates to my system:approve:.

I've just replaced this as in my previous post.
2011-11-28213434.jpg


And I have now got this setup. Lets just say that it's just got a whole lot better:D.

The extras consist of

B&W 603 s2's

B&W CC6 s2 Centre

QED silver anniversary xt bi-wire speaker cable to those 3 and QED micro to my surrounds which I kept as my Tannoys for now

Denon 3805 AV Amp which although not having any HDMI's was an epic amp in the day and still has stunning sound quality.

Still got a bit of tweaking to do like tidy the cables, finish amp setup, and polish off the surrounds and lighting positions but love it so far!

Here's a pic of my brothers new system which meant I could get these off him:eek:.

Looks awesome m8, I so wish I could update mine. Being a terraced house it's not worth it. The only Good thing would be how it looks!

I live in a flat so can't turn them up too loud but can go okay and the guy below has never complained yet... :evil:.
Depends on the time of day really.

Decent surround sound still sounds good at lowish levels as well.

Can't wait to hear the difference, the Denon AVR gets great reviews for the price. :D

I have that Onkyo set up.

It is decent for the tiny flat I live in.

Yeah it's been great for me for the past 18 months, especially when i added the Wharfedales for the fronts. Now I'm just looking to take a bit of a step up and see what the difference is.
