Sony HT-DDWG800 or a smaller one

Hi everyone,

I have decided to complete my home theater with a proper sound system.

Now I have a ps3 and a sony bravia 40w3000. I watch usually BRs and listen to classical music.

Reading some reviews and posts here it seems that the Sony HT-DDWG800 is what I actually need (within my budget of £300).

However I have a couple of questions:

- the kit is actually pretty big. Is there any smaller alternative?
- Can I use the system without the rear speakers at the beginning?
- Will the system be good for music?

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers

i used to own this system and have nothing but love for it, amazing value for the price and it sounds stunning for blu rays via ps3.

For music, also play them through your PS3 if you can as it sounds stunning on this system in my opinion.

Finally, you'll be fine without hooking up the rears although you'll be missing a lot on blu rays.
