Will this home cinema set-up compliment each other?

Hi all,

I'm new(ish) to posting on this forum, but am a long time reader.

I've just moved house and am licking my lips with anticipation at having the opportunity to spend some cash on setting up a decent new home AV system.

I am awaiting to hear what B&W series the previous occupants had in terms of their 5.1 package (as they've offered to sell it if I'm interested upon them returning from holiday).

And I am currently leaning towards pairing the B&W 5.1 with :

- Sony STR-DN1050 AV Receiver

- Samsung UE48H6400 TV

- and I have an old Sony BDP-s360 blu-ray, (which will be fine as I don't watch discs very often)

Both the Receiver and the TV offer highly rated performance, but are available at very competitive prices = hence my interest. Seems these will probably deliver excellent bang for my buck.

** I'm happy (and inviting) alternative views though - if anyone feels there are better set-ups out there.

In terms of budget - I've no idea what the B&W surround package might cost; but if too high, I was going to buy the Q Acoustics 2000i package. All in all its looking something like this:

- Receiver = £299

- TV = £550

- 5.1 = £500

I've got up to about £1500 to get this sorted.

I'll be predominantly using Sky+ HD, Spotify, with occasional blu ray and DVDs.

All advice, comments, observations welcome!

Cheers.

B&W is a good brand with excellent speakers. Will be useful to know the model. I personally prefer Yamaha, Pioneer, Marantz and Denon as I've heard issues with dialogue clarity with the Sony.

Terrific choice of television, the Samsung 48H6400! The swivelling stand is cool, I used to have another Samsung television with the same desktop stand.
