After 7 years decent service with my Toshiba 36ZP18P, I’m upgrading into the world of HD/ home cinema!
With the recent WHF 50” group test , I am tempted with the Samsung PS50B650. However, I’ve always liked the Pioneer Kuro LX5090 and there are some still left out there. I know the Kuro is the better but with the Samsung around £1200 and the Pioneer at £2099, is it £900 better?
I’m slightly restricted with speakers, they need to be wife friendly! i.e. discreet and nothing too bulky. Problem is that I have quite a large room, measuring 20ft by 16ft. Although I’m not going to play music through them, just for TV and gaming.
I do like the look of the speakers that Pioneer do specially for this TV. An undermount & 2 side speakers. If I added a suitable subwoofer and 2 rear speakers would this be as good sound as one of my alternative packages below?
Q Acoustics 1010i 5.1, or Q Acoustics Q-AV
KEF KHT 2005.3 or
Monitor Audio’s Bronze BR2,
Amplifer - Not sure about this yet but £400 seems to get you something decent. I may be able to stretch to the WHI best buy (up to £500) Denon AVR-1910
I hope to keep this set up TV for at least another 7 years so any help from anyone on the TV, or speaker/amp set up would be much appreciated.
