Hello All,
I have always enjoyed playing with AV equipment and recently decided to decorate the lounge as it was pretty tired. I did have a Samsung 40" D8000 with a Yamaha YAS-101 soundbar. It was ok for watching TV but lacked punch. My wife and I both enjoy movies and watch around 5+ movies a week. So decided to put something in that would bring the best out of the movies. My budget was pretty small and so went for the following:
Kit:
Optoma HD25
Yamaha RXV673
Tannoy HTS101
81" eurovision screen
Mac Mini 2013
Virgin Tivo 1TB box
Xbox360
Logitech Harmony Touch
Logitech K400r keyboard and integrated mouse.
Virgin Superhub 2
Gecko Reflect REF1100
Currently i have simply tacked the speaker cables to the wall, as my budget did not really allow for sinking the cables into the walls etc. So i still need to do some work on this, I was thinking some of the D-line trunking to sit above the skirting boards. The sub is sat behind the sofa. Sofa is Stratus from Next.
