My System: Dreambox 8000 HD, 80cm Orbital Satellite Dish Motorized LNB with 2 outputs, 2nd output leading to upstairs and using Dreambox 500S. Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K Amp/Receiver, |
What is the best surround sound system to go for without having to buy another DVD player/recorder (thats usually included in the home theatre package)?? I am looking for a 5.1 Surround Sound System, to connect to my HD ready LCD TV, a DVD player/recorder, SKY Digibox and Dreambox... I have a Samsung 37" HD LCD TV in black so I was thinking of getting a surround sound system the same make 'Samsung' just wonder if someone can suggest any thats available out there?? | ||

I am happy with having just two loudspeakers, so I can't comment about the surround sound quality. Need digital out from the DVD player/recorder or the sat receivers. Try to check the Sony latest models or other brands. | |||

Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K Amp/Receiver, | anything up to £250, anything more and i'll be pushing it cos i am currently out of work, its mainly for concerts, live stuff, music and films the effect i'm trying to get is the feeling as if i am actually there if you know what i mean, i had a goodmans surround sound (2 left/right front speakers, centre speaker, subwoofer and 2 left/right rare speakers) a few year back and i couldn't get it right plus wasn't much power it it so I got rid of it when i moved house 2 years back | ||

If you're prepared to buy used you could get a receiver, subwoofer, pair of fronts and a matching centre on that budget that would sound OK with music and movies. avforums.com have a good For Sale section. | ||

My System: Sky1a, Selevision, Start sat, DM 500s. | Onkyo, Yamaha & Bose are good home theater systems, with what is called "in a box" for AV receivers Pioneer is good value for money | ||
