Surround Sound System Advice Please
In my bedroom I currently have this lg tv.. http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/stor...ory_oid=-34810
and this blu-ray player... http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/stor...ory_oid=-33944
I am looking for a decent surround sound set-up to go with this...
Would it be best to stick with LG or go for a different manufacturer?
I would probably say my budget would be capped at £250....
Anybody give any suggestions or advice?
I regularly play div-x movies through an external hard drive connected to the blu-ray player so it would be handy if surround sound would still function with this??
Cheers People

have a look at the logitech surround sounds
most need an amp/av reciever to power them mate and can run you into a lot of money, ive spent about 500 on a pioneer 7.1 av/amp, kef 5.1 system and vifa for fronts to make it 7.1
also depends on the size of your room, with mine being small i went for kef egg speakers there great small speakers that push out 100 watts each

have a look at this setup: Its what Ive got, and for the buck, its bang on!
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=SP-021-LG
Fits right in yoru budget, has got Optical input to get the most from your Blu-Rays (Aswell as direct 6ch input and co-ax input) is rated at 500W RMS and 1000 peak.
Bass is quite silly too cos it comes with a mahoosive sub

Rather than start a new thread I'll get some advise in here lol, I dont like the look of those logitech ones, they're like computer speakers and I dont want computer speakers in the living room lol!
Anyone recommend a decent system for the living room with some nice stands for the speakers, in black preferably too!  Got Samsung Tv and Blu Ray player and a PS3 btw

In that case you will need a big budget mate
most speaker systems will need a seperate amp to power them unless you buy a dvd home cinema package but id rather have an amp reciever, its expandable as hell

Pred,
the logitech route seems quite a good idea... I could do with some tower speakers though to go at the side of the bed... (should look good)..
would they link to my blu-ray player?
it has optical connection
hdmi-digital connection
usb connection
and loads of other holes to stick stuff in...

most of the logitechs have a digital optical, digital coaxial input so im very sure it will link up
use the optical though its great you get no interference or anythng
