Bloody good setup there, let us know what you think of the KEFs - been looking at some for a possible setup but still not 100%.
Oh and get pics

Yea its pretty decent gear,
the AVR is around £400
dvd player £130
kef 5.1's £299
QED HDMI-P cable £58 each
for similar prices i would look at denon/Cambridge audio 640R or second hand Cyrus/Arcam. Again similar manufactures for the DVD player.
Speakers, Kefs are pretty decent, though if you have a bit of cash to burn B&W/A&E/Monitor Audio etc Brilliant speakers.
QED cables are one of the best, but you will spend a pretty penny on them

Colin, got it all in Hi-Fi Corner on the Cow Wynde. Good guys, very helpful. Dom's obviously shopped there too as his prices are pretty much spot on!
Not had a chance to connect it all up tonight, just took it out the boxes and had a quick check of it.
Unfortunatley I'll not get the speakers properly wired up in place til next week once the wall brackets arrive.
Dom, although I've not wired mine up at home yet I listened to the Kefs in the shops demo room and was really impressed by the sound from them. The B&W's I compaired them too did sound a bit better, but not 3x better for 3x the price. I'm still really pleased I went for the Kefs.
I'll get some pics and better reviews once it's all installed and set up right

, no never shopped at Hi-Fi corner (a bit far lol) but had a quick look around froogle and the prices were the cheapest (- P&P obviously).
Were you listening to the B&W MT series? I know there pretty expensive, 900 quid+ but they are suppose to be absolute brilliant (drunkenfool has a set of MT20s i believe, but yet to hear them myself). Still, the kefs do sound pretty good and for £300 you can't really grumble.
Colin, not sure that you can really compare bose to stuff like this, completly different league personally. Plus buying seperates always gives you the chance to upgrade invidual parts.
As for an all in one, not really sure to be honest, perhapps grab a few copies of what cinema/hi-fi and have a look on avforums.com.

Yeah it was the M-1 speakers, can't remember which B&W sub they were paired with tho but they sounded great!
Although I'm sure my neighbours will agree, the Kefs are more than enough for my room!
