I have recently bought this package and I got RS to price-match it, making it £709.90 plus they chucked in 6 year RS warranty.
The speakers normally retail for around the £599 mark (checked RS and superfi etc) and the amp is normally around £330 mark with the new model just being released in the last couple of weeks. If this package was bought separately it would cost around £930, so quite a substantial saving.
Both items come very highly rated, the speakers were tested when they were selling around the £1000 mark and were generally given 8-10/10 across the review sites/magazines, and the amp needs little introduction to it's capabilities.
Easy setup and there's a Dolby Vision upgrade due later this year.
If you want Dolby Atmos on a budget get the Onkyo SKH-410 from Amazon France for just over £80. Mine are due tomorrow or Wednesday.

Thanks for that chap, I think that's the speaker the quite a few recommend over ok AVforums. If you don't mind me asking, what speakers did you pair it up with?
I demo'd the the set up I listed at RS, and I loved it straight away...I'll probably swap out the sub for a BK later on.

I have the older AVR-X2100W and it's fantastic. When the AVR-X2300W drop to £299 I'll pull the trigger and move my current receiver into the bedroom. :smiley:

I'm running a full set of B&W 600 series.
I tried really hard to get a deal with RS, best I could do was a tenner off with the V.I.P membesrship. Hell of a receiver for £320.

great deal OP I've long been tempted by the Mass due to their excellent reviews and the fact they're a smaller form factor speaker (wife acceptable) and one of the nicer looking ones.

I have this speaker set and Yamaha rxv673, got it for 799 Inc atlas sub cable and 30m of cambridge flat cable may 2014. It was a price match by RS. The tall stands for the speakers are nice, but expensive. if you are mounting them to the wall, the official wall mounts are really good for £10-15 each.

I also have this receiver - it's fantastic. At the time, I went for a budget setup of Canton speakers which sound great, but will upgrade at some point. Those Onkyo Atmos speakers are tempting...
