My new setup:

Pioneer VSX-922k http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/42/98/405/VSX-922-K/page.html

Pioneer BDP-150k http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/42/84/222/BDP-150-K/page.html

KEF - KTH3005SE http://www.kef.com/html/gb/showroom...00SE/fact_sheets/systems/kht3005se/index.html

Now it’s been a while since I’ve set up any AV equipment, but this was an eye opener! :shock:

It was quite easy to set up with the supplied room calibration mic, using “MCACC” (Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration System)

but difficult to get used to all the new audio features and their acronyms like: PQLS , Phase Control , DSD-to-PCM :scratch:

The KEF speakers are fantastic! They are made of aluminium not plastic and the sound is crystal clear thanks to the Uni-Q technology.

And the Bluray player is great once you make it multi-region with the ebay hack remotes : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pioneer-D.../120651207588?clk_rvr_id=462912693195&afsrc=1

But the best thing is being able to control everything from your iPhone/iPad: :cool:

Saucy!

Think I have my eye on that, Pioneer BDP-150k.

Anyone got a Samsung UE46F6400 ? or similar model? What do you think of them?

Shadowness · 25 May 2013 at 20:32

Just ordered my audio gear today.

Roksan Kandy R2 and some KEF R500 speakers. My TV stand was delivered today too, and I'll be getting my replacement GT50 next week too.

All will be set up Friday. Can't freaking wait!!!

Well after 3 years service my glass tv stand has been replaced.....

With this little beauty.

All I need now is some more electronics to go in it. But its nice to have some of my lp's in the same room as my turntable

DiCe! · 10 Jun 2013 at 10:59

Does it come in black?!

gitbags · 10 Jun 2013 at 12:59

Not the same as that one no. It came from next, I think they had something similar in gloss black though.

PlatinumLiam · 16 Jun 2013 at 11:53

Currently awaiting the arrival of my new panasonic X60 plasma so will add some pics once that has arrived

Sorry for quoting the post but how much did that cost and from where in particular? Still using a 5 shelf target oil rig that's had it's day and needs replacing asap but can never really find anything that approaches the ikea oppli that they discontinued.

Cheers

Its the opus ii tv bench from next, cost me £175 + shipping. here's the link, they also do it in walnut.

Thanks looks like a possibility. The description says two shelf's, how many bits of equipment does it hold by your reckoning?

gitbags · 16 Jun 2013 at 23:30

It'll hold six standard DVD player sized items, providing you don't attach the back panels to allow room for the cables. One issue though is if your receiver is in one side and the source the other you'd need a magic eye kit to control one unless you remove the sliding doors. Oh and the shelves are adjustable.

I am finally getting a block of wood to put my centre under the tv instead of on the floor. Pics will follow :-)

Was wondering about the cables tbh. So it is possible to not have the front doors and back panel on? Thinking of airflow and cable routing here first and foremost.

Shouldn't be a problem with regards to equipment. Got the following

Sky +
xbox 360 (worried about heat but if the front and back are off should be fine)
Mac Mini + usb drive + Cambridge Dacmagic linked via usb
Denon dm39

So that lot should fit in nicely with the squeezebox touch on top shelf (got the tv wall mounted, now to go measure and make sure it fits!

Thanks!

davidcotton · 17 Jun 2013 at 21:15

Oh well scratch that one off, too deep by about 3 cm

gitbags · 18 Jun 2013 at 00:01

The doors are removable, its a bit fiddly but you can take them off and refit them without having to dismantle anything. As for the back panels I just didn't bother fitting them otherwise it made routing the cables awkward.

Oh and next's dimensions are wrong its 147L x 54H x 39D shelf size is 45w x 33D.

New speakers, swapped to floor standers. Now I need to sell my R300.

Resized the pic.
