Sony HTBE1

    Was up in the Sony Centre in Stephens Green last night and noticed that they have the Sony HTBE-1 for €379ish. ESB have it for €389 but Empire Direct in the UK have it for €211.

    Has anyone got one of these? What's it like? We have a small sitting room in a flat and I'm looking for something with small satellites that won't have the neighbours banging on the door. Does anyone have another suggestion for a similar HC kit (with DTS processing preferably)?

    Cheers,
    Stephen.

    actually if u care to look the speakers ARE wall mountable as well as ceiling mountable w/o the need for brackets. if u flip over the speaker ithas small slots for slotting onto the heads of screws so if u screw a srew in to the wall and leave it protruding about 1/2 inch u can slot the speaker onto it. ther are better systems around for a bit more money though, The DAV-S400 is 40w per channel and is an all-in-one that'll do SACD, so ur getting a decnt DVD player 2, they're going for €499 in the sony centre

    Thank folks, I went for the PHILIPS MX980 instead. Got it for €350 and am well chuffed. I've never had a surround sound system before, the DTS soundtrack from LOTR just sounds fantastic.
