Re: My lounge...

Cheers, thanks for the comments. I agree with you about the cables, I'd LOVE to tidy them up, but it's so difficult as it's impossible to get behind the kit... fortunately, I can close the doors on the cupboards.

Re: My lounge...

Lovely! And LFC.tv with a dedicated button on the remote - that's what I like to see, a true red!

Re: My lounge...


"Looks good, where are the cabinets/furniture from?? "


Bought the furniture in Barcelona and had it shipped over. Found it very difficult to find anything suitable in the UK, particularly something with the required depth - 60cm front to back.


"how the speakers sound? "

Quality speakers, using silver plated speaker cable, they sound fantastic particularly on movies and music.


"And LFC.tv with a dedicated button on the remote "

Yes, finally got Setanta last week with the LFC channel - it's been great watching nostalgic programs from when Liverpool were a really awsome side... I just hope that they can recapture some of that in the coming months, but sadly I'm not yet convinced


"the distance from the chair on the wall to the tv thanks. "

The room is 4metres across from the TV to the back of the sofa, so my eyes are probably 3.5metres from the screen when sitting. We actually went to the shop to buy the 43inch, but they had a lounge setup in the back of the shop with the 50inch on the wall. The 'lounge' was much smaller than ours and my wife said "why don't we get the bigger one",...so we did
