New TVs + AV receiver

Gimme Stitches

Hi,

Looking to get 2 new TV's and an AV receiver+ speakers.

I am looking to get a decent middle of the road 75" set -this will be used for general viewing in open plan space.

Second TV will be in small TV/snug room. Looking to go for a good 65" set here, with an AV receiver and dolby ATMOS setup. Somewhere to go and watch sports/movies and maybe some gaming. I already have wired for the speakers (new build) and I have the 2 ceiling speakers (Monitor PRO-65) which I got from you guys.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Above the Sony you jump into the QLED range from Samsung like the 75Q60B coming in at 1669 Euro

For the 65" i would look at the OLED.

We still have stock of the LG 65C1 priced at 1699 Euro delivered and with our VIP 6 year guarantee.

Next up would be the NEW 2022 LG 65C24 priced at 2175 Euro

I'll do a separate post for the AV receiver and speaker setups.

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

Hey Again Gimme Stitches.

For the AV receiver I would recommend the Denon AVRX2700 which is currently priced at 699 Euro. Does everything you will need it to do and can pass cope with 4K @ 120 Fps for the new gen consoles.

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-14159-denon-avrx2700-black-dolby-atmos-and-dts-x-av-receiver.aspx

There are also some packages listed to include speakers with this amp.

With the likes of the Monitor Audio Mass the deal is 1279 Euro

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-14201-denon-avrx2700-monitor-audio-mass-ii-5-1-black-speaker-bundle-av-receiver-with-5-1-sat-sub-speaker-package.aspx

With the Q Acoustics 3010i 5.1 its is priced at 1479 Euro

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-14220-denon-avrx2700-q-acoustics-q3010i-x2-3060s-q3090ci-black-av-receiver-with-5-1-speaker-subwoofer-package-black.aspx

Also with the Wharfedale DX2 coming in at 1079 Euro

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-14205-denon-avrx2700-wharfedale-dx2-5-1-speaker-bundle-black-av-receiver-with-5-1-sat-sub-speaker-package.aspx

If you wanted a floorstanding option then you could add the 3050i pack to the 2700 for 995 Euro, giving a total of 1694 Euro

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-14338-q-acoustics-3050i-5-1-package-black-5-1-av-speaker-package.aspx

Going all out you could add the Spektor 6 5.1 one for 1379 Euro. Giving a total of 2078.00

https://www.richersounds.com/dali-spektor-6-spektor-2-spektor-vokal-c8d.html

Just one last thing to check is that you ran a sublink cable?

This would be a single phono cable rather than speaker cable.

Let me know your thoughts if any of the above is of interest or if you have seen anything else on our website.

Gimme Stitches

Thank you Kenny. I will have a review of your recommendations. Is there much between the TVs you have listed. If it was your personal choice what would you be going with?

As regards sublink cable yes - I have ran one which I got from you guys when I bought all my ceiling speakers and speaker cabling.

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119756666#Comment_119756666

Hey Gimme Stitches.

Was just double checking on the sublink as its a common mistake we see with installs where speaker cable gets ran for the sub and causes also sorts of issues :)

For the 75" if you could stretch to the Sony you would have one heck of a TV. However the 70" Philips is also very nice and the Ambi Light feature is a great addition. Both have Android operating systems.

For the 65". I have the 55" version of the 65C1 and it is amazing. When you go to the NEW 65C2 it uses the EVO panel making them even better again.

It was the LG 65C24 that one What HiFI 2023 Best 65" TV.

Let me know once you have done some checking over the items above.

Gimme Stitches

I have seen the Samsung 65 QN800B Neo QLED how does this stack up against the 65C2?

Would this one be better ?

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-206303-lg-oled65g26la-new-2022-oled-65-inch-oled-evo-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-tv-freeview-play-freesat.aspx?swapstore=1

Richersounds.ie: DavidS

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119757527#Comment_119757527

Thanks for getting back to us Gimme Stitches.

The QN800B is an 8K TV but there isn't an awful lot of 8K content out there and while it has a great panel I still think the OLED Evo panels would be the better buy and give a better picture for 4K and Full HD images.

The OLED G2 is the gallery edition of the C2 so it has a brighter panel but also is designed to be wall mounted so doesn't come with a stand, it only comes with a wall mount!

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards

David

Gimme Stitches

Thanks for your help and advise.

What is the best price you can do delivered on

Sony KD75X89JU

AVRX2700 + Q Acoustics Q3010i 

LG 65C24

Richersounds.ie: DavidS

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119759920#Comment_119759920

Thanks for getting back to me Gimme Stitches.

I don't have too much movement on the TVs so the best price I would have on these would be the web price. The LG OLED65C24 is £1819/2175 euro including delivery and a 6 Year Guarantee and the Sony would be £1249/1299 euro.

We also have a bundle price for the Denon AVRX2700 with a Q Acoustics 3010i package and this would be £1249/1479 euro:

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-14220-denon-avrx2700-q-acoustics-q3010i-x2-3060s-q3090ci-black-av-receiver-with-5-1-speaker-subwoofer-package-black.aspx?swapstore=1

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards

David

Gimme Stitches

All looks good. I will be in touch closer to the move in date.

No problem Gimme Stitches, keep me posted!

Gimme Stitches

Is the avrx2700 no longer available? None of the links seem to work.

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

Hi Gimme Stitches.

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-206444-denon-avrx2800-black-dolby-atmos-and-dts-x-av-receiver.aspx

Starting point for an Atmos receiver would be the Sony STRDH790 coming in at 469 Euro

Next up would be the Onkyo TXSR393 coming in at 499 Euro

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-14485-marantz-nr1711-silver-dolby-atmos-av-receiver.aspx

Let me know your thoughts.

Gimme Stitches

I was hoping to go with a speaker package. Is this something you could offer with the display model?

A case of you snooze you loose as the Sony 75 and the LG 65" C24 are gone as well?

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120089836#Comment_120089836

Hi Gimme Stitches.

If you let me know which speaker pack you might be interested in I'll see what deals I can work.

The LG 65C24 is still available and currently priced at 1949 Euro delivered

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-206202-lg-oled65c24la-new-2022-23-oled-65-inch-oled-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-tv-freeview-play-freesat.aspx

The Sony 75" is now finished.

In a 75" Sony now have the 75X85KU priced at 1899 Euro

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-206353-sony-kd75x85ku-75-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-google-tv-freeview-freesat-hd.aspx

Or the X90KU coming in at 2099 Euro

Gimme Stitches

Q Acoustics 3010i 5.1 Package

With regard to the 75inch TV I was hoping to keep the budget to max of €1300.

Gimme Stitches

@Richersounds.ie: Kenny have you had a chance to look at this

Richersounds.ie: DavidS

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120113810#Comment_120113810

Apologies for the delay getting back to you Gimme Stitches!

If you're looking for a 75" TV around that budget I would highly recommend the Samsung UE75AU9000 which is a great TV at 1149 euro:

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-205276-samsung-ue75au9000-75-inch-4k-ultra-hd-hdr-smart-led-tv.aspx

Let me know what you think of this option!

Kind regards

David

Gimme Stitches

Thank you David - what would be the main differences between the following 3 Samsung's

Samsung UE75BU8500

Samsung UE75BU8000 - New B Series

Samsung UE75AU9000

I see that the Sony 75X85KU is now 1699. Is it worth the extra spend?

Also on the demo Denon and speakers (Q Acoustics 3010i 5.1 Package) what is the best that you can do?

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120116474#Comment_120116474

Hi Gimme Stitches.

Sorry for my delay in getting back to you. I been off for a few days.

The BU8000 and BU8500 are pretty much the same TV but with a different stand. They are the 2022 Models.

The AU9000 is an older model and is again similar spec to the 8000 and 8500. However it has tweaks towards gaming the others don't.

In my opinion the Sony is worth the extra as it produces the better image, uses an Android operating system. Its 120Hz and the others are only 50/60Hz. It also has HDMI 2.1.

For our demo 2700 and the 3010i 5.1 I could offer at 1295 Euro delivered.

You may require cables if you do not already have some.

Gimme Stitches

I will go with the Sony, the demo 2700 and 3010i - I already have the cables I got from you some time ago. I will need 2 wall speaker brackets for the back speakers. Also a wall bracket for the Sony.

For my good TV set is the LG65C24 still the best option?

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120118885#Comment_120118885

Hey Gimme Stitches.

No problem at all :)

I could squeeze the 3000WB brackets to 18 Euro each. Total would be 36 Euro for those.

You can not go wrong with the 65C24 for your main room as it is a beautiful Television. Currently priced at 1949 Euro including our 6 year VIP guarantee.

I have one of the older C1 series LG OLED and it is fantastic and the C2 with the EVO panel is even better again.

Gimme Stitches

Perfect. What is the best price you can do for the lot.

Demo 2700+ 3010i

Wall brackets for back speakers

75" Sony 75X85KU 

Wall bracket for hanging Sony

LG65C24 

If you can give the Euro and Sterling price

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120120238#Comment_120120238

Hey Gimme Stitches.

You would be looking at the following for pricing

Denon 2700 with 3010i 5.1 pack - 1295 Euro or £1115 Sterling

3000WB brackets x2 - 36 Euro or £31 Sterling.

The 75X85, the best would be the 1699 Euro or £1495 Sterling.

A bracket to hold the 75" flat to the wall in can offer at 50 Euro or £43 Sterling.

https://euro.richersounds.ie/p-12678-sanus-vll5-slim-flat-bracket-42-90-inch-fixed-tv-bracket.aspx?swapstore=1

The 65C2 is currently priced at 1949 Euro or £1699 Sterling

Total would be 5029 Euro or £4383. The Euro pricing is the better deal as the TV Euro pricing is cheaper over the sterling.

Gimme Stitches

Is there room for the TV plug with that bracket?

Can you do €5K?

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120120605#Comment_120120605

Hi Gimme Stitches.

There should be room for a plug using the VLL5. This depends on where your socket is in relation to the back of the TV. If its toward the top for the tV when the TV is on the wall they yes. If the socket is at the lower end then there will be enough room ti fit the plug in.

The bottom of the TV will be thicker due to the speakers etc being placed here.

You've twisted my arm on the 5K Euro delivered.

If you are happy to proceed let k=me know and I can pop the order onto your account and give you a call to finalise things up.

Gimme Stitches

Great thanks Kenny, happy to proceed.

Richersounds.ie: Kenny

Cheers Gimme Stitches.

We will give you a call very shortly :)
