Hello All,
After a long period of inactivity on these fine forums and a rather damaging weekend on my wallet, I thought it would be apt share the results of a little retail therapy. I currently live with SWMBO in a 100 year old 2 bed cottage in the middle of a field, hence the title “Rustic Sound Lounge”.
Last year I embarked on a DIY project to replace our TV stand and coffee table with something more fitting for our humble abode. I ended up making the furniture myself and am really happy with the results. If interested please see the furniture build thread here: Homemade Chunky AV Bench and Coffee Table | AVForums
Anyway, enough of that boring stuff! This is the new kit list for my 5.1 system:

I hope you like it and can take some inspiration...
