Ok guys new update :

Just got s pair of the new sound style Z2 , New design in Black , Also got a new LCD Wall Braket for the screen to go on the wall . Will take some more pictures when done , Hopefully i can take some pictures of the whole room once its done , Just need to get a Wall Fireplace and some black blinds for the windows and its all done , I can start saving for my new car then lol.

Also im going to get HD cam in the next couple weeks so will make some Video on my setup for youtube and show you all my setup in action , I could also do a Review on the Denon 1909 or on any of the products i own , just let me know , cheers Jason.
 
I've got some ikea black out blinds in my livingroom about £10 a piece and really good, Not sure if you can find cheaper though. Come in a variety of colours too.
 
well the subwoofer is on Ebay so it will be gone for good tonight i hope if someone bids on it 🙂

I still need to take some pictures of the new setup but my Camera seems to have died on me 🙁....
Anyway i have got the new wall braket coming , will be fun trying to fit it all on my own lol, should be fun drilling holes in my wall.

I will see if i can fix my Camera and get some new pictures uploaded.

Will be buying the Sony SR12 for my HD Video Review, coming soon 🙂
 
Is looking good with the addiitons. Get any help lifting the screen up onto the wall bracket? Are you still happy with the screen? Looks like you could easily fit a 50" Kuro in that wall...
 
The speaker Cable is under the Carpet running along the side-skirts

Me and my brother put the wall bracket on the wall ( £28 from Ebay with Free Delivery ) ... was very easy todo as the Wall bracket had a built in sprit level , I may still get the Pioneer 5090 at some point this year ,
 
Hi, so does the speaker cable run up inside the stand as well?

Regarding the mains, I have my TV, DVD and Sky box plugged into a Russ Andrews mains extension block purely because it has surge protection, just to keep things a bit safer. I can't say it has made any real difference to the picture or sound of the TV.

The speaker cable just runs at the back of the stands , i think where i have white walls you can't really see it in the pictures 🙂
 
Hi Jason (sounds like im talking to myself)

Do you actually prefer the covers of your speakers? Ive got B&W speakers & as gorgeous as they are i find them to distracting with them off !

Nice set up by the way, this is the first time ive looked at this thread & ive found it to be very insightful watching a set up being born ha

How do you download photos on here?

jase fox:How do you download photos on here?

Photos need to be uploaded to the Interweb first (like your Flickr account, or Photobucket, etc.), then "simply" click on lil' "Image" icon with the tree in the middle (next to Smiley), enter the URL to the location of said photo in the top field, check dimensions is 400x400 max, submit.

It should work. Although for my Flickr photos, getting the link to work right is not that straightforward. Just need to be take attention a bit. Learn from trial and error I did.

Hey Jase nice name ! sorry for the Delay been really bissy ! 🙂 um i don't like the covers on the speakers to tell the truth so they are up in the attic in the box 🙂 but i will give you some advice , i had some friends come over acouple weeks ago and one of the muppets some how pushed in the Tweeter in on one of my Rear B&W speakers , luckly my brother went over to it and sucked it out lol ! its not been broken but u can see alittle mark on it but nothing for me to worry about lol , so in future i will be using covers when friends are over clowning about,

But yes i have Enjoyed building this system , I have so much more i want to do but at the moment acouple of things are stopping me carry on with this project , First i need to get myself a new car and also have alot of partys and Holidays coming up so im abit short on the cash as everyone is at moment , but saying that i will let you know what i plan on getting by the end of the year,

My first upgrade will be the Pioneer 51FD and then if the Pioneer 5090 is still priced at £1660 as of late then will also buy that 🙂 after that its the bedroom to work on 🙂 im glad you Enjoy my setup and hope you watch me finish it 🙂

Also i use Flicker for uploaded photos , all you do is make an account and then find the pictures on your pc and upload them , once you done that you can click all sizes on them and it gives you a choice to view them in small , medium or large , I use Medium for this forum as the large is to big , then you copy and paste the upload photo URL , it will look like this , but before you copy that to the forum at the start and end you need to add :

Start of link add = [ img ] & at the end of link add = [ /img ]

Add that to the link below and thats how you upload photos for people to view on whathifi, Hope this helps.

Hi jason,

Yes as i said before its very insightful seeing pictures of someone building a cinema set up from scratch & its looking good, but i totally understand the lack of funds bit that stops the progress, ha, but im sure youll get there in the end.

The pioneer 5090 is a good choice of screen & so is your chosen bluray player, so youve stuff to look forward to & as for one of your mates (or muppets, ha) pushing a tweeter in if it happened to me i wouldnt of been very happy to say the least. The speakers do look great with there covers off as they are such lovely looking speakers but i find them abit bright & distracting with them off, but hey, each to there own eh?

Im going to try download photos of my kit on here, hopefully? Be nice to get some sort of feedback as to what people think?

Good luck with the rest of it & be nice to see the finished product.

In the meantime we all have to party jase lol
 
Hey Jase

I've really enjoyed watching you build your set up, it looks ace. I was just wondering about your opinions on the 656A. I am planning to get one for gaming with my ps3 but have been put off by reports of input lag making games unplayable. Just wondering if you have noticed any problems with it?

Cheers
 
God who told you that mate , No lag at all on the Samsung 656A

I play FiFa 2009 on it all the time and never had any problems with Lag , As long as you set it up right the screen is perfect for gaming.
I got mine of Ebay about 1 year ago for £650 , This is Great LCD, very good on Sky sports HD aswell , Where did you hear about this Lag ? because iv never had any problems with it.
 
Hi Jase,

Out of interest do you find your speakers actually sound better "without" the covers on? Or do you keep yours off for cosmetic reasons? And whilst your watching a movie dont you find the yellow cones somewhat distracting?
