Cheapish sound setup for living room..

KiNETiK · 16 Mar 2006 at 10:07

Hi guys,
I'm looking at getting some sort of sound system for the living room to make it more like a home cinema now I have my projector.. Bit skint at the moment so I don't really want to spend more than 100 quid! Are there any recommendations for this sorta price or should I just wait and save up some more?
Cheers

NO

Bad surround sound will detract from rather than add to the experience of a home cinema with a projector, don't do it, stick with stereo until you can afford a half decent setup, thats my recomendation.

Would be inclined to agree. No point in good picture and poor sound.

Ok cheers, I was kinda thinking that!
What sort of price bracket do you think is recommended for a 'good' setup?

I've been having a little look around..
Anyone got any opinions on the Denon DHT1356XP 5.1 setup? Seems like a really good product for the price..

£500+ will get you to do 'decent' (notice my use of inverted commas there? There aren't many decent integrated systems) integrated system.

You'll be spending £600+ for an entry seperates system from new and more for a decent one, but you can get some great secondhand deals.
