Steff it's her doing, as long I've got the tech in place she can do what she likes with the walls
I know what you mean bluray, I have been looking at KEF T205 but it's not priority at the moment. It's not a dedicated cinema and I'm looking at getting the garage converted for that

If you've got any suggestions that would be great. Budget would be about £1500 GBP
This 5.1 surround sound system should be good-

Denon AVR-X3000 7.2 Channel 4K Networking Home Theater Receiver Plus A Pair of Klipsch RF-42 II Tower Speakers, (1) Pair of Klipsch RS-41 II Surround Speakers & A Klipsch RW-12 II Powered Subwoofer

Will take a look although they are a bit large for my room and I'm not really after a new amp.

If you want to enjoy the fullest audio quality, bigger speaker is your best friend.

If you are looking for compact speakers, 5.1 speakers below are very good. I own the Energy Take Classic.

-Energy 5.1 Take Classic Home Theater System (Set of Six, Black)

-Definitive Technology Pro Cinema 800 System Black

If you want smaller floor standing surround speakers, Pioneer Andrew Jones speakers below are very good for its price. I have it in my master bedroom, and it is nearly half the size of my Klipsch floor standing speakers.

-Pioneer SP-C21 130 Watt RMS 2-Way Speaker

-Pioneer SP-BS41-LR 130 Watt RMS 2-Way Speakers (Pair)

-Pioneer SP-FS51-LR Floorstanding Loudspeakers (Black, Pair)

-Pioneer SW-8 100 Watt RMS Subwoofer System

Right I've moved the right speaker up a notch. Is this any better?

For the front (L & R) speakers, it is best to place it at ear level and aim it 45° angle at the main seat. It will delivers a wide sound stage and precise localization of individual sounds.

For the center channel speaker ©, it is best to place it below the TV. Then, aim the speaker up to point directly at the listener.

Very nice set up. I like the wallpaper - looks modern and complements your set up.

You own the same iron as I do Smile

Nice setup, although always looking at the Sky box would bring my bloodpressure up to unhealthy levels.
Thanks for mentioning Vladon Möbel, my sister builds a new house and she needs new furniture as well, so we'll have a look there.

It really doesn't bother me and I have nothing else that would fit the gap hence why it's there lol.

No probs, they've got some really nice stuff on there.
