A premium home cinema setup made from Black Friday deals

KEF Q Concerto Meta 5.1 speaker package

OLED TVs and Dolby Atmos soundbars will always have a special place in our hearts, but if you're building a dedicated home cinema space, then you'll want to level up to a dedicated home cinema projector, AV receiver and surround sound speaker package.

We've combined three Award-winning products here, all of which provide top-notch picture and sound performance that are guaranteed to do your favourite films justice.

KEF, Sony and Marantz are the talented bunch that have provided the goods for this system, and while each component is considerably pricey, we think the performance justifies the outlay.

What Hi-Fi? Award Winner
Save £2,000
Sony VPL-XW5000ES 4K laser projector: was £5,999 now £3,999 at Richer Sounds

If you're looking for native 4K projector, look no further than this five-star performer from Sony. Not only did we rate it highly when we reviewed it, but the projector has also gone on to win the prestigious Product of the Year Award in the projectors category for three consecutive years. We praised its "stunningly detailed native 4K pictures" and "impressive black levels and contrast", and while it certainly isn't cheap, it remains the most affordable native 4K projector on the market.

Marantz Cinema 30
What Hi-Fi? Award Winner
Save £500
Marantz Cinema 30: was £3,999 now £3,499 at Peter Tyson

The Marnatz Cinema 30 is a premium piece of home cinema equipment that impresses at every turn. Its stylish build, faultless feature set and hugely impactful cinematic sound make it an impressive AVR on all fronts, and this £500 saving is the icing on the cake.

What Hi-Fi? Award Winner
Save £600
KEF Q Concerto Meta 5.1: was £3,149 now £2,549 at Richer Sounds

This punchy, authoritative and stylish speaker system from KEF reminds us why we love surround sound so much. It delivers rich cinematic audio that travels around the channels organically, while the subwoofer handles bass with impressive weight and control. If you want to be immersed

Mixing and matching brands is a great way to save money this Black Friday

Don't feel the need to stick to one brand if you're looking at upgrading more than one component of your home cinema system this Black Friday. While it may be tempting to bundle up a TV and a soundbar system from the same company, you're often better off digging a little deeper.

Case in point, this budget Mini LED TV and Dolby Atmos soundbar system combo that our TV and AV Editor, Tom Parsons, recommends.

It combines the talents of TCL and Hisense, respectively, which may sound like a scandalous union considering that these Chinese AV brands are arch-rivals.

Nevertheless, both products punch well above their price tag when it comes to performance, making this a tempting duo if you're looking for top-notch value this Black Friday.

TCL C6KS 50-inch Mini LED TV
What Hi-Fi? Awards 2025 Winner
Save £200
TCL C6KS 50-inch Mini LED TV: was £549 now £349 at Amazon

Lowest-ever price: £349
The 50-inch TCL C6KS would have been strong value at its £549 launch price, so when we reviewed it at £419, we discovered an exceptional TV for the money. So exceptional, in fact, that we gave it an Award! And now you can buy it for even less.

Hisense AX5125H
What Hi-Fi? Awards 2025 Winner
Save £60
Hisense AX5125H : was £249 now £189 at Amazon

The five-star Hisense AX5125H was already a bargain at its launch price, but this saving of £60 makes it even more tempting. It boasts impressive weight, scale and a convincing Dolby Atmos effect, all in a compact, affordable package.

While this AVR is still our favourite model on the market, we wouldn't blame you for saving a little more cash and opting for the equally talented Denon.
