Posted a while ago about this, got a new TV and was too busy to deal with this, now I have time to back to this :P

Basically, I have Sky+HD (1TB box if that makes any difference), and xbox 360 with a LG 42LK450U TV

Looking for surround sound for these (preferably one that comes with bluray if it doesn't come with bluray then will need to support bluray input as well)

Any suggestions?

Not exactly sure on budget but few hundred. (say £300 but can go over it)

Thanks!
 
Which cables would I need to purchase as well for this?

for Bluray would it need an optical output for the sound or does HDMI deal with this?

Denon 1312
Boston Soundware XS SE
LG BD650

That all compatible? (bluray doesn't support optical output)

any idea if the speakers are wall mountable (i.e. have a hole in the back for a screw to be placed in)

Thanks!
 
If i were to use banana plugs i'd just use them on the AV end, as once the speakers are mounted they won't be moved for a number of years.

For the Banana plugs is it just sort of, push the wire in and tighten the screw kind of thing?

Would the cable I linked be fine or should I spend a bit more for a better one?

Is there a difference between black/red cables (judging by the image of the cambridge audio symphony 100 theres nothing different, so if there is would this be indicated when it arrives, just making sure :p)

Thanks again.
 
Another quick question

Say my connection is;

WD TV > AV (HDMI)
Sky+HD > AV (HDMI + Optical)
Xbox 360 > AV (HDMI)
Bluray > AV (HDMI)

When connecting to the TV via HDMI, does this carry sound (so my TV will have sound as well as my speakers)?
 
Do they consider them a competitor as they don't focus primary on computer components :P other one i linked for WDTV was filtered so figured other was fine

Also any suggestions on bluray players, one i linked was reduced to £30 but you can't order it online, all stuff i'm ordering will be done online :P

Also with RS, do you just buy say 20m of cable or are you supposed to tell them like specific size you want (as online order just seems to be qty of 1m)
