New System - New Install
Discussion
Ok, I've been thinking about this for some time.
I currently have a Pioneer 43" plasma TV on a stand with a bose, sky+, PS3 (used for gaming and media centre, dvd etc), Wii and 360 sat on shelf below.
I'd like to wall mount the TV, replace the bose with something better, lose Sky and get freesat HD and use an all in one controller. Ideally I'd like to hide everything away in a cabinet. As starting point I've been recommended an Onkyo amp (607) and Kef speakers (2005.3) plus a Harmony One and Humax for the freesat. About £1500ish.
The requirements are for a wife friendly system (hence the Bose/Kefs) she wants it to look good, I want it to sound good. Mostly TV/Movies use but also music so I'd consider floor standers for the fronts (and maybe a dedicated CD player but that can come later). The house is a modern semi so I don't need it deafeningly loud. Speaker wires in the walls for preference. The walls are plaster board battoned to breeze blocks on the TV wall, plaster board only on the left and board/breezeblocks/brick on the right.
What I want from you lot is a recommended installer who can carry out this work and recommendations on what gear to buy and how much it will cost! I don't think it's a massively complex job and I'm happy to decorate afterwards.
