Simple stereo set up for TV

Any recommendations on cheapish set up? Say £150? Was thinking soundbar but I think I'd prefer speakers. Open to suggestions though.
No need for surround sound as I'm in the flat.

Thanks lucid. I was looking at A100 but thought there might be cheaper option. I guess I didn't appreciate the lack of remote controls on cheaper amps.
I don't use TV often to watch films as I have a projector in my man cave so trying to do it on cheap.
If I was to attach htpc as well should I go for AV receiver or stereo amp with 2 optical inputs (if they exist) is still better option?

Thanks all for replies. My TV is fairly old so might get lucky.

I'll check tonight.
Alternatively what about this package http://www.richersounds.com/package/system-savers/mini-hi-fi-system-deals/pah012825 ? Hope it's OK to link, sorry if not.
Other than blue-ray drive on htpc I currently don't have a cd player. It also has 2 optical inputs so I could connect both my htpc and TV/ humax box to it.

Cheers, TV definitely has optical out.
