Jamo A102 HCS10 worth buying for speakers?

I am looking for a 5.1 lifestyle speaker system and noticed these can now be found on Ebay currently going for around £200. The main drawback would appear to be lack of HDMI. At this price they would appear to be a good buy for the speakers alone if partnered with a separate DVD and Receiver system providing the HDMI.

Any views? Any suggestions on a suitable Receiver to partner these speakers?

The new version of the A102 has HDMI output.

Yes, I know, but you have to pay nearer £499 for it. I have since found out you can buy the A10 5.1 speakers only for £235, so the EBAY price of £200 for the Speakers and non HDMI DVD/receiver may still be a bargain, especially if I can sell on the DVD/receiver and put the savings towards a good quality separates Receiver and DVD player.

Hi
Only just noticed this thread, I brought the system off ebay for the bedroom for £189 and think its a cracking set up i think if you do get one and set it up you wont be too quick in getting rid of the receiver, The picture from component in to my 32"panasonic lxd60 is excellent as is the sound the speakers are very well built and would be a good buy at £200 on there own so go for it.
