UPDATED PICS 14-12-08 on Page 4. Added a pc to the room
Well, after more than a year saving for my first "proper" home cinema set up, I finally bought everything about 4 weeks ago. So I thought I'd put some pics up.
Obviously it would be better in my own home but at least I've got one really good room to enjoy.
Aside from the iPod, everything in the pictures was bought within the last month and to me, the quality difference compared to my old set up really justifies the cost.
I started saving in December '05 with the intention of buying a better "home cinema in a box" with a budget of around £1200. Then I decided to go the separates route. Then I thought I'd add a flatscreen. Then I started reading these forums and the cost really shot up.
If it wasn't for these forums though, I dread to think what I may have bought, especially regarding the flatscreen. I'm very happy with the Fujitsu, it's a fantastic screen.
I've got to say a big thanks to all the forum members who have been really helpful with advice on my threads.
Also thanks to Frank Harvey in Coventry for being really helpful & supplying av receiver, dvd player, speakers, cabling & stands. They've got a great shop & know their stuff.
And thanks to Av-Sales who put up with me changing my mind. Managed to cancel a 42" Fujitsu the morning it was supposed to be delivered when I realised I wanted the 50". And then when I wanted to swap my sub from an SB12+ to a PB12+/2 on Friday.
I think I've managed to fit just about everything into my 8'2" x 13'1" room. The wardrobe had to go last year to make way for my ever expanding dvd collection.
The most satisfying thing about this new set up is that I'm on low wages & managed to stick at it and save for something I really wanted and it was definitely worth it.
At some point I'd like to get either a BFD or EQ unit for the sub. The only other item I want in here is my own desktop pc which I hope to have by the end of the year.
This is what I had at the beginning of March: OLD SET UP
And these are some pics of my new set up.
EDIT: Added a more recent photo of my tv/film collection, taken in April 2008:
And new PB13 Ultra bought in January 2008:
