Mine was mostly replacements for faulty or dying components.

LG 32" TV, Samsung Freeview HD tuner, Denon hi-fi tuner.

Best bargain was a couple of Sonos bridges for a tenner each.

Just a pity that I didn't go for a Sonos system in the end...

Audiolab 8200AP, LS50's, and KK DXD12012.

And quite possibly the Oppo BDP103, so my whole AV system bar the projector!

RE: Favourite AV buys of 2012

I bought a Tag Mclaren T32R tuner which arrived on Friday after the seller replied to my wanted request on the Classifieds forum of Vinyl Engine 4 years ago! An early Christmas present to myself!

 

The box was too big to wrap and put under the tree (at least that's my excuse) so had to open it early!

 

 

Took me hours to wrap all those presents although it doesn't look like much in the photo. Which idiot thought it was a good idea to get all my nieces and nephews lots of smaller presents rather than one big expensive one. Oh yeah - that idiot would be me!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Roku LT

Bought it to smartify our non-smart bedroom TV.

Not as full featured as some other streamers, but with access iPlayer, netflix, vimeo, Tune in etc, plus streaming from my droids and as plex client it does all i need for a bedroom TV.

Plus it's tiny, and a bargain @ £40

Sonos Connect and Sonos Play 3 without a doubt.  Connected up to my Cyrus it does everything I want!

RE: Favourite AV buys of 2012

Not so much a buy but part of a payment for some work I did. A Sony AV receiver which some say is one of the best Sony ever did and I have to say it is good. I will do some dabbling with it soon.

@DistortedVision ... that is a lovely looking system you have there.

regards
