After spending literally weeks researching TV stands for my new Samsung 46" LED, I opted for this aesthetically-pleasing (to say the least) stand with integrated home cinema system. I was wary that it would not be as pleasing as it seemed on paper but having had delivery of it last week, I can confidently say this one of the best purchases I have ever made. I also spent ages trying to determine the best price and as far as my extensive research showed, no merchant was selling the unit for below £300; thus the directtvs.co.uk price is fantastic. The audio clarity is amazing and it is relatively simple to set-up. Again, the stand is very easy on the eye and although it wont cater to everybody's budget, those who can afford it will not regret their decision to order this stand.

Well if you insist - a quick google search on the model gives this as the first result after directtvs results:-

http://www.flattelly.co.uk/shop/univ...nd-p-2893.html

Almost £2 cheaper.

However its quite a lot of money for a very low powered set of speakers - plus its never going to give as good Surround sound as true surround sound speakers because there are no real rear speakers.

i love the stand so good on you for getting one as they are great but you need a good old amount of room for them to go in so you get decent sound without it echoing

Some people just can't stand their deals being voted cold can they. "Show me cheaper" they cry.

Well I'll tell you the truth. It's being voted cold because it's UTTER GARBAGE!!!

Oh come on, be fair. The alternative deal was only £2 cheaper and I reckon that price is new (not more than five days old) because I checked flattelly last week and they weren't even selling that particular stand. I didn't have to pay the £15 delivery charge with directtvs.co.uk because they could not deliver it on the specified date; therefore, I only paid £270 for stand in total.

Nothing to do with the price my friend. It's just so naff. Nobody with even the slightest interest in stylish equipment would look twice at it. (My apologies if you have already bought it)

Well, I can appreciate that it won't appeal to everyone's tastes. However, those who have seen it set-up in my living room (10 or so people) have nothing but good words to say about the appearance of the stand so I guess it can't be that bad.

If you like it mate, that's all that matters. Ignore my ramblings.

I'm maybe missing something, but isn't surround sound supposed to, like, surround you rather than be laid out in front of you in a line?
