I have this one http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv-stands/mda/tucana-1200-hybrid/mda-tucana-hyb-blk but in white and its so well made, well worth the money. I looked at the one you listed but did not like the look of the legs on it but still a very solid unit.

Beefy, that looks good. Can you fit an AVR inside the cabinet and is the TV's height adjustable? I have a centre speaker (15cm tall) that I'd like to put under my 42" TV.

My onkyo wouldnt fit in it, that's for sure. the cab is 400mm deep so i guess that's what, 380mm max for components inside it? This: http://www.richersounds.com/product/av-receivers/denon/avrx2300w/deno-avrx2300-blk should fit for example but the larger stuff wouldnt. My onkyo is about 460 deep, for example, nightmare finding something suitable that isnt megabucks.

I have an earlier model of the Denon so it should fit but ventilation could be a problem if space is that right. I suppose it would be fine if the back was left off (assuming it's just a flimsy back board and not carrying any weight).

Been looking at one of them - what size TV do you have on it and how high is the bottom of it off the top of the unit? Any pics?

I did fit my Yamaha AVR in it but was a little tight with banana plugs. Tv height is not adjustable but I had a Wharfdale 10cc centre speaker under it and that fitted fine under my 48" Samsung.

I have a 48" Samsung on it, would reckon 55" would be the maximum really to look right. Will measure distance and try and get some pics up tonight.

Beefy thanks for info buddy. What 48" Sammy do you have on yours? Im looking to put my 48" Sammy H6400 On it im wondering about the Back and hoping it doesn't cover any connection on the back of the TV? I would be putting my Dali Kubic One Soundbar on the top

beefybarn · 17 Feb 2017 at 18:31

Exactly the same tv, its does cover the component and lan connections but I brought a right angle Ethernet cable to use and do not use the component so all good.

dbmzk1 · 17 Feb 2017 at 19:59

Thanks for the info, I've the same TV as well, would be great if you could post pics!

Same here, but also to give me space to put the amp in. The Besta unit we got is a touch shallow for a full size amplifier. Actually made it a damn sight easier to wire it up too. Complete set of banana plugs in the back now.

james.miller · 17 Feb 2017 at 21:30

Yeah i did the same. I gave up looking and just bought a besta and cut an amp shaped hole in the back of it.

nicknack35 · 17 Feb 2017 at 22:31

I think im going to stick with Alphason 1000. I think the 1200 would be to big My soundbar is 980 which would fit perfect for me. Just hoping the Bracket would raise the TV enough so my soundbar doesnt block the the bottom of the tv. The Height on the Dali is 162 mm

Skynet5 · 17 Feb 2017 at 23:23

I have the FW1350-SB...or aoemthubg like that. With TV Mount adapter.

Its a great cabinet and TV arm. Quality is fantastic.

Not cheap mind.

nicknack35 · 18 Feb 2017 at 07:47

Its going to be a tough choice cause our next TV will be OLED 55" but that wont be for another year or so when the Tech has moved on so the 1200 might be worth getting. Think ill have a re think on this one LOL

hornetstinger · 18 Feb 2017 at 09:43

I went for two seperate stands, as one single TV stand is not enough to hold the gear. For the TV stand when for a freestanding unit, the base has space for 3 video components (using a center speaker on the top one) VESA bracket for the plasma. For the audio gear, on another rack along the side wall with the sources, pre-amp, power amplifiers.

nicknack35 · 18 Feb 2017 at 12:25

Beefy any chance you could do a big Fav if ok please and just check the height from bottom of the tv to the Top of the cabinet just so i know my Dali wont be blocking any of the TV the only thing i need to know really. Before i go ahead and buy thanks
