Sound system for use with PS3 and Dell 2407WFP

Hi,

I am using my PS3 connected through a Dell 2407WFP monitor. Can anyone suggest a suitable sound system to use with it? Budget around £100. Thanks.

Any ideas? Please I don't have an HD television and this is my only way to hook it up. At the moment I have been connecting it through hi-fi but this is messy.

It depends if you want to use 5.1 or 2.1, and if you want to use the optical outputs on the PS3. Seems to be some good 2.1 sets under that much but none with optical inputs, i looked at getting the Logitech Z5400 thats a 5.1 system with 3x optical inputs, you can get it for about £160 online. Maybe the best place to ask would be the HiFi or sound city sections they may have more ideas, but first make sure exactly what you need.

Thanks for the reply. 5.1 if possible. Would I need a seperate amp with the Logitech setup or is everything included?

They used to sell the Z5450, same as 5400 but with "wireless" speakers, on OCUK, but not anymore.

Thats the Wireless ones the Z5400 are a lot cheaper, but harder to find, i know they're PC speakers but supposed to be quite good. If you look in the PS3 setup thread, i think theres quite a few people with them so maybe ask them.

I use my guitar amp, I have my PC and 360 plugged into it, and it's awesome

Logitech is rubbish compared to HiFi separates. Do your PS3 justice.

This about the cheapest amp available @139. It has 2 optical inputs. Sound quality will destroy any PC speakers.

Then pick up 4/5 second hand speakers off ebay.

In the future, when you have more cash add these speakers. 2 x 2 pair @29.99 per pair

Power Rating (Watts) 130 Maximum power output long term/short term (RMS) (per speaker?)

=seriously decent!!!

Thanks everyone.

neocon, what model number is that Sony?

neocon · 27 May 2007 at 12:14

Sony STRDE400

or

Sony STR-DG500

I want the Sony STR-DG500 , because it has 6 channel input too. Thats means you can easily connect your PC's to the amp.
