Hi all, I previously posted a thread in home and garden with not much response, was hoping for more from an AV perspective
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...s-requirements-and-pics-of-proposal.18931963/
Im thinking primarily about two options:
Option 1 example pictures and dimensions below (i wouldnt use the same faux brick materials but gives an idea. I like the idea of AVR at side of unit.)
Option 2 example and dimensioned proposal (for my room)
I really like the above example, probably my favourite in terms of materials.
Pictures of my room (there's another window opposite the fireplace)
Floorplan (this is the "drawing" room)
Would be great to hear from @lucid for your thoughts
QUESTIONS;

Im thinking primarily about two options:
- Option 1: TV offset from fireplace with soundbar (would probably need to be an electric fire for this but could possibly be a gas balanced flue unit)
- Option 2: centred TV unit, 5.1 speakers (denon x2300, tannoy eclipse 3 set, BK XLS400)
Option 1 example pictures and dimensions below (i wouldnt use the same faux brick materials but gives an idea. I like the idea of AVR at side of unit.)

QUESTIONS;
- Has anyone gone from 5.1 seperate system to soundbar? I'm currently using a yamaha YSP2700 and that seems very good (not as good for "rear" sound replication I find)
- Do people see the technology changing that would impact building of a tv unit (e.g 10 years ago people would size these for a 42" TV...). You see some people make tiny recesses for dvd players etc but I would be trying to "future proof" this for massive consoles e.g. My xbox series X
- Would having a gas fireplace (say 4kW output) approx 400mm below the tv impact the life of the tv. Are OLED tvs more impacted by heat? (my intention was to buy a 65" oled and use my 55" Samsung ks7000tv in another room.
- Would having a center speaker built into the top of the unit above the TV as per my example above be worse than having the centre speaker below the TV
- One option I'm considering is going for option 2 with soundbar in the front, and use my seperate 5.1 system in the "living room" (see floorplan above). Only problem here is I won't easily be able to get rear speakers in easily. Is there any options for wireless rear speakers here? Unfortunately as the extensions already been built I can't easily get ceiling speakers in here
- If I chased speaker cables into the wall and had a seperate box on the wall both sides (for the wiring to connect) is that likely to significantly impact the quality of sound connection (noting my setup isn't super high end anyways)
- Do people see seperate AV units being replaced in future by soundbars? It seems like the gap is now closing.
