RE: Home Cinema/Hifi Room Setup

Room is a treat to the eye, made exponential by that PL/Apex setup... WOW!  Can't wait to see your upcoming 65 inches ultraflat TV on that wall... Oh please don't tell me you were aiming for a smaller size, they are giving them these days, and it would just set this monster of a center to about the perfect eye-shattering size, while being also in dominant equilibrium with this very modern, cartesian yet original retro decor!  Not only your dream system and room, but mine too! good job Smile

RE: Home Cinema/Hifi Room Setup

Thank you.

 

My finger twitches pretty much daily over the Buy button on a Samsung PS64D8000 so yes, I'm going for a big one!

Love the look of this setup mate and the colour scheme on the walls, proper lads room. After Xmas I'll be painting my room very similar colours which I'll have to do when the wife pops out for milk, lol.

P.S. surely the latest 21:9 by Philips would give this system total WOW factor :-D

RE: Home Cinema/Hifi Room Setup

Yes sir! 64 is big enough, and Samsung high series are ultraflat... Great choice.  Sure you're wall mounting bracket is strong enough for that, or gonna change that altogether too?

RE: Home Cinema/Hifi Room Setup

The bracket will take up to 75Kg and, as I pulled the trigger yesterday on the Samsung PS64D8000, it better be right!  Should arrive tomorrow...

RE: Home Cinema/Hifi Room Setup

All good, your TV must weigh about 40Kg.  That's quite the mounting bracket you got there, you really did plan ahead!  Don't forget to post us some pics! Wink

RE: Home Cinema/Hifi Room Setup

Well , I can only imagine how good it is now Smile Sorry about the thick question , but how much does it cost such an improvement to the sound . Just out of a curiosity...And also , how do you find the Elements DAC ? Did you have another one to compare it with ..?

RE: Home Cinema/Hifi Room Setup

If funds allow, you must get a projector and electric screen in there. Great setup!
