Then im undecided on speakers......got to be 5.1 and looking at Bose.

Get a Samsung UE55D7000 for 1900, better than the plasma option imo.

That'll be good, all the samsungs are, was just when you upped the price by 50% so quickly I thought it was worth mentioning the D7000.

Main thing on the 7000 is hardly any bezel.

Not sure if Bose do just speakers, might be in a kit, I'd got with Kef or Tannoy over Bose though.

Not sure about Jamo stuff, Kefs are worth a look. Mission Cubes are pretty decent if you can get a decent pair cheap enough secondhand. B&W M-1's or MT25's otherwise if you have the budget (a budget would help otherwise you can happily spend a few £k on the speakers alone).

The Yammy 471 is pretty decent for that sort of money, could also look at the Onkyo 608 which is similar money.

B&w speakers (have some 20yo and still sound awesome)

Samsung for other stuff. My samsung DVD player is still going 7 years later.

Costco are doing a 59" Samsung 3D tv for £1300.

Not sure if it's good or not right enough.
