If you have your designs, you can get them 3d printed at reasonable rates. Some websites provide such services.

Got it last weekend...was too lazy to post sooner?

 

 

Can you kindly shed more light on the audio setup? Are those Swans HiVi M300's on the speaker stands? I also notice wall mounted Klipsch fronts, a Klipsch Center speaker and a Pioneer Receiver. I can't seem to quite make out the brand of the sub ( too blurry). How is the connection done here, please share the details. A better, clearer photograph will be lovely and much appreciated. A good setup like this deserves that at the very least.

Yet to connect to my LG CX but using HDMI passthroughs Apple TV, PS5, XSS sounded amazing. Atmos I have not tried extensively and would suggest you look for dedicated side speaker setup for proper Atmos output (5.1 and upward). Will update next week on LG CX output. 
Currently I returned and re-ordered to take advantage of the substantial price fall. Earlier got it for 28k, now got it for 21.5k. Its on the way now
 

@Black_Hawk Here's an update, Amazon was delaying the dispatch, and after two days I cancelled out of impatience.

I have just ordered Samsung Q800t 3.1.2 soundbar on RD for a steal price of 33.5k. It has a few features that I wanted mandatorily,

4K passthrough @60hz with HDR (HDR 10+ and Dolby Vision, as per display capability)
eARC support
Two dedicated up-firing speakers (the '2' in 3.1.2 channels) for Dolby Atmos surround sound
Presets plus custom EQ options via app

Will update once I get it delivered from RD.

Damn, that's a great price. I would have bought it myself if I knew but now it's oos. Let us know how it performs.

Also update if VRR works via passthrough or not because that might be a deal breaker for my current setup.

I don't think that VRR would work with HDMI 2.0.

Lovely setup!

What do you use the Swans for? Music exclusively?

Music mostly via BT or Fiio player. 
 

They sound pretty good for movies too in 2.0 mode via optical input.

Really nice to hear this. I'm happy that you have a dedicated 2.0 setup for music only. It's something that I also truly cherish.

awesome, do let us know howz the surround sound effect ? is the absence of rear speakers obvious ?

[l33tmaniac]

Had to travel to Chennai for a family event. Picked up Forza Horizon 2, Fable 3 and MGS HD collection from the CeX stores there.

 

As for Forza Horizon 3, @PranooY was kind enough to pick it up from a CeX store in Bangalore and ship it.

I think I need to use it for at least a month before I can give a fair opinion about the surround. But know that rear speakers are must if you really want that theater like surround.

On a seperate note, the level of customisation is amazing. The app is nice.

Nice, howz it ? I'm a huge coffee lover , have morphy richards with me right now, but it doesn't have any way to keep the coffee hot.  Also, the quantity is quite less (just enough for 4 cups , if the coffee decoction is strong) !  Taste is good though, so can't complain.
