Hi folks,
  I be interested in this model, I'm just wondering what stock levels might be like currently, do I need to pull the finger out so to speak lol.

Thanks in advance

Hey Liamalone.

Thanks for the post.

We had an exceptional day of trading yesterday which has left many products stock levels decimated.

The 55cx is unfortunately one of those products.

It has currently been switched off on our website until we can confirm more stock.

Hello again

I'm still navigating the minefield that is there when choosing a new TV, overdue as I'm still running the Sony 42w705b I got off yourselves about five years ago.

I think I'm nearly decided on the LG 55BX, although the Sony 55XH9505 is still in the running along with the LG 55CX.

My Onkyo TX-SR309 will probably need replacing alongside or after the tv - depending on which tv I plump for. So my new question is this, any recommendations/deals for an av receiver that would suit a new tv in the spec bracket above?

Thanks in advance

Hi Liamalone,

Thanks for the post and apologies for the delay getting back to you!

I don;t think you can go wrong with the Denon AVRX2700! It's currently £599 but very future proofed with 8K passthrough as well as great streaming functions!

Let me know what you think!

Kind regards

Thanks DavidS

Regarding the AVR, I currently have a speaker set that's rated at 6 ohms, would they be compatible with the Denon? I know next to nothing about that side of things.

This is them: https://eu.pioneer-av.com/en-GB/c/s-hs100/p/813156

Thanks.

Edit: even if the speakers are 'grand' would they be due an update also?

Hey Liamalone.

Your speakers will run with the 2700 on issues and the 2700 is more than capable of running much more top end speakers for when you do go to upgrade them.

The 55CX is also now back for purchase on our website.

We are our purchasing team in England are chasing an ETA on the Sony's but have no luck just yet.

Took the plunge on the LG 55BX today, I'll leave upgrading the AVR until the new year.

Thanks again

Hey Liamalone.

Thanks for the order

Our courier will be in touch regarding the delivery.

Have a good evening.

I'm back revisiting the AVR situation lol. Am I right in saying the the aforementioned Denon X2700 doesn't have a dab tuner? I'm hoping it does but can't see any mention of it in the specs.

Hi Liamalone.

Thanks for coming back to us.

Very few receivers have built in DAB tuners unfortunately.
The 2700 only has FM but with the Heos App you can get internet radio. Most Radio station from DAB can also be found here.

I think there is a European or US version that does have DAB but it not the one that we can get our hands on unfortunately.

Still tyre kicking at avr's, apparently the Denon X2700 has hdmi 2.1 issues with 4k/120fps

What else is there as a substitute? Hdmi 2.1 is a no go as it's in it's infancy and manufacturers are implementing it differently, or so I've read.

Xbox Series X, 4K firestick, VU+ Solo2 will be fed into it going to an LG55BX. Would ideally like a dab tuner inbuilt and something with speaker setup audyssey style.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Liamalone.

It seems to be any AV Receivers that used a certain Panasonic chip set are having the HDMI 2.1 4K/120fps issue.

This list of receivers available doesn't change unfortunately.
Of course if you don't run at 4K/120 fps then there is no issues.
Any of the lower spec'd units that don't use the chipset can't do HDMI 2.1 anyway.

I can't think of any AV receivers that we currently have that will do DAB.

It's a minefield at the minute with Av receivers as stock is limited and we are still chasing ETA's on products.

It did get an update on the 2700 and we should have them back in stock with the next 10 or so days.
Still no firm ETA on the Sony 1080.

We will be getting the Yamaha RXV6 back in stock shortly priced at 589 Euro

Thanks Kenny

Yeah, I'm resigned to running the Series X straight into the tv it seems then eArc to a compatible receiver by the looks of it. A minefield at the moment I agree.

That Yamaha is 589 euro yet 649 sterling, what's the craic there?

Hey Liamalone.

The Euro price will be in reaction to a competitor in the south of Ireland so that we are cheaper

Our sterling and Euro pricing is not a direct conversion in some case. This is because we have to compete in two markets the UK and the ROI.

You are of course free to pay in which ever currency works out to be the cheapest for you.
