Surround Sound System Set Up

Luckycharms_74

Hi John

I'm looking for some info about a surround sound system.
I have just gotten in Sky HD and now to finish it off want a good audio setup.
The TV is Sony Bravia 40".
The room I will be putting it in is 14'x13'.
Any Recommendations.

Oh Budget is around €500. Maybe little more

Hi Lucky

Sorry we havent responded to you before now:o

I'll jump in ahead of the Richer guys...

Are you looking for an all in one Home Cinema In A Box type of system like this, the Philips HTS5560?

This will play BR, DVD and CD's, and has the latest DD TrueHD and DTS MAster Audio codecs on board as well as FM radio and a good smattering of inputs to plug other devices into

Its sounds great as well, we have one hooked up to our 46PFL9705H in the Demo room if you wish to call in and have a listen and look at it.

This type of system sells for €599.99 but I will do a great price on it for you if its what your after.

If on the other hand you are looking to go down the Seperates route, have a chat with either Dave or Kenny is RS, they'll be able to offer up a system that would suit your needs.

Looks interesting Ashley.
I'm just doing some research on that set up.
Yeah i'm not sure whether to get an all in one box system or go down the road of seperates.
I'm an audiophile noob

This sounds good. Around what price would you be talking.

Hi Lucky.

Personally, I would always recommend a separates system over an all in one system as it's more upgradable, better connections and the most important of all......better sounding.

If you ask in the home cinema forum...I'm pretty certain you'll get a similar reply.

With that sort of price you could have a Yamaha RXV367 amplifier, Tannoy SFX5.1 speaker package and an LG bluray player and it would come in close to the Amazon price. If you wanted a nice upgrade, the Sony STRDH810 with the same speakers would come in at £532.84 / 625 Euro.

If you are keen to stick to the Philips system, I'm sure Ash would look at the price compared to Amazon, but I would take a look at those separates before you splash the cash.
