Hopefully this posts ok.

My setup in my new house. I need a new bigger tv but I'll wait and see what happens with the new oleds in October. Mrs has given me the nod which is the first hurdle out the way!

Just had an outbuilding completed, just had to be used for a cinema.

Pioneer SC-LX58 AV Receiver
Pioneer PD50 CD-Player
Raspberry Pi 2 for Plex playback
BT youview box for freeview
Rubbishy Toshiba BD player which was free with the projector
Epson TW6600 - Currently projecting onto the wall, 120" fixed frame screen will be going up soon.
Monitor Audio Bronze surround package consisting of:
Bronze 6,
Bronze FX Surrounds
Bronze Centre (Still working out how to mount this)
Bronze W10 Sub
Excuse the cable mess, still waiting on the cabinet to put all the equipment in so nothing has been tidied yet.

Also not pictured are two Altona HDbase-T converters for HDMI over Cat6

Also pictured are one of the 4 Monitor Audio CL50 outdoor speakers (which are pretty damn good)

Still waiting on curtains to go up so at the moment watching in the dark is only really possible and its obviously sounding a bit bright with no material in there.

I used to own one of those, I bought it in the early 90's. A damn fine player it was too. Ended up selling it on the Auction site for pennies.

Are those bungie cords? Not sure if that's genius or reckless

Bungie cords. The design of a prefab 1970's double garage and a now massive electric door allows little or no space ideally to put a projector ceiling mounted. Looks dodgy I'll agree but it'll not move in a month of Sunday's. My Dad actually came up with the idea which I like you frowned upon but it bloody works if not as fiddly as hell to set up the exact correct position.

Bought the LG 55EG920 OLED earlier in the week.

Love the thing! Pictures taken on my phone so not the best quality

Got a couple of smartpower amps. Currently using the 8vs as a pre amp.
Next on the agenda is to replace it with a proper pre-amp.

It seems to me that the only improvement to TV's in the last 6 years has been their slimness. My 6 year old Sony X4500 is as good as anything on the market currently, bar the overpriced oled TV's.

I'll be resisting the upgrade itch until you can buy a 55 inch 4k oled for £1500.

I'm still happy with my Panasonic 50" GT30 (albeit use the projector more).

The quality is rather good.

I'm waiting on more reasonably priced OLED before a change too...

That does look fantastic.

Shame they are about double what I am prepared to pay for a TV though.

The wait for a reasonably priced oled goes on.

Going to wsit for prices to come down on OLED way out of my lesgue at the moment

my new baby LG EG960V to replace my EV930

I really cant take pics of tvs

New TV is pretty thin

Same as^, how are you finding it? The only thing I am still figuring out is how to browse the LAN shares from within the TV. Haven't had a huge play around yet, but AllCast/DLNA etc all work nicely for 1080P content.

ChrisD. · 17 Oct 2015 at 09:34

I thought I'd post some snaps of the current setup. Ignore the mess/cabling - I'd post some excuse but I have nothing except I am having new flooring put down next month.

The surround speaker wiring in particular is 'interesting'. It's flat cabling ready to go under the new floor. The man from DPD should be here shortly with my new toys.

Ignore the angle some, had a few last night.

ChrisD. · 17 Oct 2015 at 12:09

Size matters.

Getting there. Just having a listen to some AC/DC. Sadly my amp can't drive these bad boys properly. More ££££.

I think I'm going to have to wall mount the TV.

I just upgraded my fronts from Q Acoustics 2010i's to the floor standing 2050i and tbh I'm really disappointed with the sound. The smaller bookshelf gives a much tighter and all round better sound. Voices sound miles better on the 2010i.

First time I have been disappointed with a Q acoustics speaker but these are not great and will be going back. Running the 2010i's in multi channel stereo with my sub gives far better results....
