Ahh its too deep? sticks out the front. I thought i read a while ago you saying it wouldnt fit but i was thinking my god there'd be load of room its not as tall as the speaker, silly me! :-0
 
Ya the Denon Amp doesnt fit in the middle, So will need to get new stand 🙂

Anyway here is what iv started upstairs in my main bedroom. Walls going all white again 🙂

The LCD you see here will go in the bedroom once its done on the wall mount.

I would love to learn how to do that mate but wouldnt have a clue where to start ,

The house needed updating and white seems to be the new colour for updated houses 🙂 and it looks clean and Fresh , and i like it that way , Iv got most of my ideas from Home design Mags ect to tell the truth and looking on other forums at what other people have done in thier homes.
 
Just letting you guys know that the Bedroom is Finished , As in new a Carpet walls painted ect , bed moved back in aswell / No Eletronics as of yet added to the room but these will all get added in new year ,

I have some new pictures to upload of the living room , I Now have the Denon 1909 Rear B&W 686's , Will take some Photos and upload them in the next couple Days , Hope you all have a wonderful Xmas & New Year , Jason.

Is that a digi lock on your door? Is it to keep the in-laws out? I'm going to get one.
 
Yes its a Digi look on my Door 🙂 and yes i have Home insurance 🙂 , Wouldnt you .

Well i have the Full B&W System now so will show u all that with some pictures .

Also have Denon 1909 . B&W 686 685 Centre and 610 Sub , And wow it sounds Ace with the denon 1909 , Didnt get the Pioneer 5090 i was hoping for but im really happy with the Samsung 40inc 656 , it does really well with any HD Source . Watched Darknight last night and was loving it.

Anyway i will try take some new pictures and upload them all.
 
independent:tv looks a bit precarious standing on top of avr

Its not anymore as your see in my Xmas Pictures 🙂
 
I Think iv done really well if you look at what i had at the start of the year, Im really happy with the system i have . I might change some bits and bobs in 2009 , I do want to get a stand alone Blu-Ray Player, Im also going to Spray all the Stands Black .

Any way , here is a Before and After photo's of this year 🙂

Thoroughly enjoyed this thread, nice one mate. The Xmas shots were great. How are you finding the Denon 1909?
 
Well iv had the Denon 1909 for one day now and im loving it .
I had the Denon 1507 before and was always happy with it , But Sevenoaks had it on offer at the weekend for £300 so i just couldnt say no , I also got the B&W 686 for £240 aswell.
Now iv got the Denon 1909 i now know what i was missing , this Receiver is ace ,I watched Blade Runner last night in True HD and i couldn't help but smile as the sound that was going to my ears was amazing! , Iv used the Auto setup ,witch was very easy to do once you have acouple reads of the manual , I also got the B&W 686 in the Window at the moment but after the new year i will get some stands, Also the Sub wasnt in the Xmas pics as its behind the Sofa.

Thanks for saying you liked the Xmas shots 🙂
 
Really good job there!

I really like your photos too, from a purely image point of view. What DSLR did you use? (I do presume it was a DSLR you used).

Other question (to everyone):

What would be the ideal place to put a Front Speaker? I currently have a closed TV cabinet which is quite high anyway, but it also only has 2 shelves: one for the amp and one for the BD player. Shall I think into buying a proper rack therefore?
 
Hi ya mate , Nope its not a DSLR but i am going to get Canon D450 or Nixon D80 in the 2009.

The pictures have all been taken with the Sony DSC - P92 ,Cost about £450 about 4 years ago. only worth about £70 now but it takes great pictures . Settings ISO 100 , All the rest is Auto. But i did use Macro mode aswell on some shots for close up detail.

Im glad you like myset up. Thank you.

To Answer your question id say get a new stand would be your best bet.
 
Are you still planning on getting the Pioneer PDPLX5090 or are you happy enough with the Samsung LE40A656?

I have the Pio BDP-F1 going straight into my LE40656 via QED Qunex and the sound is just above average(I don't a an AV Receiver though) but the Image and detail of Sweeney Todd was amazing, especially the detail of the dark streets of London. I think I could live with the Samsung now that I have sorted the settings on the Set, hopefully the PDPLX5090 will drop down in price mid 2009, hopefully.

Your right Davey the picture on the Samasung is very good , as long as people set the picture settings up right.

Well the Pioneer 5090 has come down to £1800 now so i might just have to get it in June or july , Ill also have a look at the the new model thats at £2300 Pioneer 500. But yes i will get one of the Pioneers and mount it on the wall.
 
northantsbloke34:Great set up. You're either on a great wage, got a really good xmas bonus or you have no kids! lol. Enjoy your system 🙂

Would'nt say that , I only work in a call centre lol , Wish i was on more money to tell truth . Don't get Xmas Bonus , And your right i have no Children, not yet anyway lol. Well maybe when i hit 30 , 5 years away yet 🙂
