Hello all After a recent case of Black Friday madness(!), I've finally decided to upgrade most of my current home cinema setup from one that is in the region of 13 years old. Currently incoming are a 65" LG G3 OLED tv, a Denon AVR-X2800H AV Receiver and a Q Acoustics Q B12 subwoofer (in...

Am very tempted by a Panny for the upgrade. Fair play though: my 50" Pioneer cost an absolute 'bucket' is 2009, but has been completely genius over the past 14 years. Still going brilliantly strong today! Same can be said of a 49" 3D Samsung in the main bedroom. Careful longish investment is...
