The  lounge/listening room is finally done! Room is about 6x7m. Now all I need is my Oppo.

 

 

Looks great.

When's the party to Christen the room?

Looks fantastic!

Beatifully co-ordinated and very neat and tidy. How much work went into hiding the cables and how did you do it? Was much re-plastering of walls/sending through the roof space needed?

Thanks (to you and the others). The room previously had a patterned artex ceiling, a hideous brick mantelpiece and an unused fire. The main area of the room was reboarded to hide the artex and the coving renewed. The coving hides the rear speaker cables which are then channeled down the wall. The chimney breast was filled in and extended on the LHS  as it was not quite wide enough to take the 5090. The extension has a void which is used to store spare cabling, The cables to the TV go through two diagonal plastic pipes inserted to holes drilled through the original chimney breast and into the void. The RHS spekaer and sub woofer cables are hidden behind the skirting board. The front units were bespoke from a local joiner and include CD & DVD storage as well as a special cupboard for a Nintendo Wii

 So a fair bit of work.....

It all looks very unobtrusive  in what is obviously  still a comfortable lounge.

 If I may ask is  the AV package from the  MA  series (BR5)?    Am shortlisting this  for audition and your pics are encouraging.

50 inch? very large room.the pic is flatened..

Yes, I think I probably did not make a good job adding the picture. I did not want to put too big a pic in and upset the mods

Even better ! Yes, I should have paid more attention to the sub which gives it away.   Shame (for me) that series has gone. RX6 a tad pricier, slightly out of reach.

Can I ask how high from the floor the tv is please as I was thinking of wall mounting ours?. From floor to bottom of tv would fine. Cheers! oh and great set up!

98 cm. Mine is on a tilt & swivel bracket, which has proved very useful. If the TV is vertical, one of the ceiling lights reflects of the top of the screen. A slight downward tilt fixes that.

Extremely nice set-up. Is there any reason (apart from because you had to tilt it) you mounted the tv so high i.e. not eye level? Whats feeding the 5090 and what amp are you running?

Hi Ham:

Very clean and beautiful setup.

Thanks.

I wanted the centre speaker to be at the same height as the top of the L/R speakers. I think it looks better and arguably gives the best sound. The sofa is a fair way from the TV and reasonably high (recliners are usually a bit taller if you are looking for height), so you dont have to strain your neck.
