prices are list, waiting on him to price match everything, but anyone any experience with this kit?
 
I couldn't recommend the Denon DVD player, not when you can have a PS3 for not that much more (in the context of the whole system) and get a good upsampling DVD player with free BD capability and a latest gen games machine.
 
Aego Ts are nice, but i personally woulda not bothered with the Harmony remote (or got the harmony one for 100 quid), then spent any saved money on a better amp / speakers..

also, do you have good quality speaker cable? because you will need cable too :)
 
Decent ll round system but at those prices you are paying WAY over the odds.
Also, as said, there are a few changes you should make:

Harmony One instead of the 1000.
PS3 instead of the Denon (unless you need the best DVD playback you can afford).
The Panasonic 80 at a much cheaper price or the better versions.
 
Christ i wasnt looking at prices..

That amp was 200 quid at a well known shop recently. its no more than 250 though.

The Tv... 1080p at that size is pointless... and its too expensive, Id personally have went for a 42inch panasonic plasma for less.

And a ps3 would be on order if i didnt already have one
 
no need for a ps3 coz its just in my bedroom, already got a ps3/wii on my 50" in my living room

harmony i bought coz i could, i thought id combine every remote i have on it (currently 14 remotes!)

went with 32" because it will fit into one of the wardrobe shelving spaces perfectly ;)

and yeah i just mailed him with pricegrabber prices and told him to match them, so the total is about £600 less, £1425 delivered

Ahh now we have the reasons, goood goood.

Should have saved the money and got a cheapy sammy LCD, nearly £850 is a hell of a lot of money on such a small LCD.


Still, enjoy.
 
You got ripped off on that Yamaha amp, you can get that for around £200 if you look a little.

Richersounds had it on offer for £199 a week or two ago.

£850 on a 32" tv is ridiculous, you could get a 40" Sony Bravia V3000 for less :confused:

The 1080p wont exactly shine through at that resolution either.


Semi rant....
I've never understood why people want opinions after they've ordered something. Surely you'd want peoples opinions beforehand, as if what your buying is utter **** then you'd want to know before you part with your money??

Last part not aimed at you, just a generalisation.

Regardless of whether or not a 32" is all you could physically fit, £850 on one is a ridiculous amount of money to spend on one.

Why not get a Samsung LE32R87BDX 32" for around £420ish?

Another post from me...

What prices have you found each item for?
 
nikebee is right about a lot of things there. I dont understand why anyone would choose to spend that kinda cash on such a small screen.

14 remotes.. what the hell do you have 14 remotes for in this setup?
