I'm tempted by that exact model on AVF at the mo for around £200 delivered. How have you found it?
It's an excellent all rounder. I have Sky via optical, DVD/SACD player via HDMI & co-axial & Apple TV via HDMI & optical all hooked up to it. I have KEF 3005 series speakers hooked up too.
For movies it's great and I keep forgetting about this when watching an action movie when the kids are tucked up upstairs - it nearly shakes them out of bed.
For my sounds - through the Denon SACD and Apple TV for MP3 it is brilliant too. Go for it and spend the extra couple of quid the seller wants if need be.
So which one you bought Andy, the Denon 2311?
This one was on my shortlist,supposed to be an excellent all rounder with bit more of a punch on the music side to compared to others in similar bracket.
Seondhand 2807. A new 2311 was way over budget and TBH, the 2807 will do what I require for now. I'll be fine until I get loads more HDMI kit or upgrade to 3D in about 10 years' time
I can imagine that the Linn cost about as much as my BMW
Will wait and see what satelites pop up. Some KEFs with the stands would be ideal, as would anything of a silmilar ilk.

Nice one, TBH the 2311 is over my budget as well (was originally looking at the cheaper 1911) but have been advised thats whats i'd need to bring in line with some of the other kit i've been looking at getting.
Any Audiophiles care to comment on this particular set up and what Receiver maybe suitable? Even with the cheaper Denon 1911, this entire set-up is maxing the budget if bought brand new, even with good negotiation..
Q-acoutics 2000 package is well reviewed and a best buy from memory in What Hi-fi. Looks nice, was going down that route myself but couldnt part with my Mission floorstanders
AVForums.com would be a good place to start on recommendations. They usually tell you to look out for end of line/last years versions but as you are wanting a 3d capable solution thats probably a bit more limited in terms of scooping something though a few 1.4 hdmi's were about.
Oh this will be an interesting non-car thread... I have recently finished major wiring in our main room with umpteen HDMI cables and countless others sunk into the walls and floor for a proper plasma installation above the fireplace. Can't afford the tele or the AV components yet but I am definitely looking at a budget system that will give me decent 5.1 performance.
It was one of those things where it was time to paint the room and I wanted to get it cabled for a nice setup - come the day I could actually afford to use the cables... I have made my own customised pattresses as well for a clean install to the corners where AV sources will reside.
Very time consuming but satisfying nonetheless - I cant be doing with TVs in the corner of a room or ugly dangly wires up to a wall mount either. I tested it all out with a smaller TV to prove all the wiring was good before plastering, filling, smooting, touching up, smoothing, base coat, smooothing, more base coat, smoothing, 2 x coats white, denubbing, 1 x coat deep purple, denubbed and just one last coat over the weekend to finish it off before I die. I digress...
Currently looking at Panasonic budget systems with support for DVD, BluRay along with with decent 5.1 speakers. I did some interesting Yamaha stuff on eBay a while back but I didn't want to take the gamble... plus I really need the TV up and running first... sometime 2012 at this rate.
Just seen the reference to AppleTV box - absolutely love mine - use it on the other TV already - beautifully simple thing that you just plug in, enter your iTunes info - and it does everything else... I did try a cheap chinese mediaplayer for comparison and it was just hilariously bad - must remember to drive the allroad over it someday - err I mean recycle it at my friendly neighbourhood WEEE facility.
That Denon receiver looks good to me on paper - love all those connectors on the back - proper mans job wiring all that up
I have a Panasonic 42G20 plasma and it's excellent, I even wish I'd gone larger, maybe a 46. Room is 4mx3m and it's about right vieving from the longer distance, 3-3.5m. Only downside is a slight buzzing but that's down to plasma operation and being next to a wall doesn't help
Depends on budget (doesn't it always). There are some Yamaha deals on at the mo for amps and speakers, Yamaha are well regarded for their budget stuff. Other than that, check this out:-
