TV/AV receiver/Speakers

deepimpact

Hi guys, looking for a few bits. Can you get me a few options on:

1. 50+ inch TV - My brother is looking for a 50 inch TV with a budget of €700 to €750. I'm thinking of the LG 55LB561V or the Panasonic TX50AS500B, but he's open to other options, but he's fairly firm on the budget. Smart functions are not really necessary.

2. AV receiver/speakers - Looking to upgrade my LG plasma's standard speakers. I'm looking at the Yamaha RXV677, again I'm open to suggestions, but around that pricepoint. For the speakers, I'm not too sure about the different choices, but I've been looking and I suppose I could stretch to the Dali Zensor 5 floorstanders, but again, I'm open to suggestions.

Short of HDMI connecters and speaker cables, and maybe a Blu-ray player, can you guys let me know what you think?

Thanks,

Tadhg

Thanks for that reply Kenny, there are plenty of options there.

I was thinking of getting a decent set of stereo speakers initially in a 2.0 setup, with the option of adding extra speakers and a sub at a later stage.  I'll have a look at the BX-6 over the weekend.

I'll also have to run the TV options by the man himself, but I'd say the LG 55LB651V could be the way he'll go, unless there is a very good case to be made for the other screens.

Cheers,
Tadhg

Hey Tadhg.

How about this for an option:

Panasonic TX50AS650 - Stunning TV and makes mincemeat of the LG 55LB561! Has just been reduced to £699.95:
http://www.richersounds.ie/p-200553-viera-tx50as650b.aspx?swapstore=1

Yamaha RXV677 - What hifi greatest receiver since sliced bread in the current awards and massively reduced to just £389 from originally £500!
http://www.richersounds.ie/p-200624-rxv677.aspx

have a look at the review here:
http://www.whathifi.com/yamaha/rx-v677/review

Dali Zensor 5 ( Pair) £549.95
http://euro.richersounds.ie/p-200068-zensor-5-light-walnut.aspx

Our running total is £1639.85 - we could do that bundle at just £1499.95! which is a pretty mega price!

If you swapped the Zensor 5 for the Monitor Audio BX5 which retail at £449.95 - we can reduce the bundle price to just £1379.95 ( from £1540) of if you went for the Monster Monitor Audio BX6 we can do the bundle at £1479.95 (reduced from £1675)

Hopefully these will give you something to show the Brother and I think the pricing is razor sharp on the bundles..

Keep us posted,

ATVB,
