Just bought What Hi-FI? Sound and Vision as they have the 2010 awards in there for everything you'll be needing Johnny :evilgrin:

Best 42-42" TV award went to the Samsung UE40C8000 whilst I'm looking at getting the 50" Best 3D TV which is the Samsung PS50C6900 at £1200 (although the Panasonic TX-P50V20 gets the best 50" TV award without 3D and is £1400)

Categories for the awards are:-

TV's
Cables
CD players
Systems
Blu-Ray players
Digital Media
Stereo Amps
Ipod Docks
Projectors
Speaker packages
Headphones
Home Cinema
Radios
Stereo Speakers
Turntables
PVR's
Accessories
 and the Readers Award

So plenty of reading and eye candy to get your juices flowing  :happy2:

As you have bought the right TV then you should have the right receiver on the list - Denon.  :wink:

As for the corner sofa just have left, right and centre rear as opposed to the traditional 2 channels. Otherwise don't bother spending the money on an AV setup.

Sounds good - my only concern with the magazine - WANT FACTOR!!!! Will this make you want things youm just can't have, or do they take into account normal ppl too? with normal budgets?

Hedge < Yes, its hard to put rear speakers in my lounge. Think I will be happy with 2 front, 1 centre and a box.

Do you think I should forget the amp then now?

Nope.

Nope but its pointless if you aren't using the rears.

Have you considered 3 or even 4 small satellite speakers wall mounted? Left, right and 1 or 2 centre rears?

KEF do some front speaker which are all in one, they have some silly amount of speakers in each unit, designed to work like a surround set - no way as good but not a bad compromise.

My brother has a set, dont think they were cheap mind you.

like to main 5.1 just my sofa is big and hard to get anything in corners (Right up against the wall.

Looking at small hand sized speakers - can stand or wall mount - not fussy.

Budget - realistic!! Not £1000's but not £24.99!!
