Cinema system suppliers - recommendations please

[Steelmonkey]

I'm looking to update my home cinema system. I'm looking at Sony 1050 amp, Oppo 103D, Dali zensor 1 5.1 system, and an LG oled TV. Firstly I'm looking for a shop or supplier that can supply all these items and have your recommendation, and secondly of welcome your thoughts on my choice of components? Many thanks

I would highly recommend Frank Harvey Hi Fi. I bought all my AV equipment from them despite living 140 miles away. David of Frank Harvey Hi Fi is a member on the forum.

For TV, John Lewis and Richer Sounds are the best.

Your choice is very good. For AV receiver, I would recommend Yamaha RX-V677 or Marntz SR5009 over the Sony. Demo before purchase.

Thanks for the advice BigBoss I'd not come across them.

Why would you recommend the Yamaha or Marantz over the Sony?

I find them superior with music. Even with movies, I thought they were more engaging. But you should demo your options before purchase.

Hi Big Boss,

I took your advise and looked at some more high end receivers. I'm blown away with the Pioneer SC-LX58. And so that is what I will mate to the system. Chosen Dali Zensor 3 at front, Vokal, the Zensor 1 at rear, mated to a BK XXLS400-DF. I'm hoping this will sound as good at home as it has in the store.

Thanks for all your help. It has been an enjoyable journey.

That's a nice system! *good*
