Sony LBT-ZX80D Muteki Range

Hi guys

This is my first posting so please be gentle with me, I was recomended by a friend to come here.

I have seen the following system available on US Sony websites

http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665097141

However it doenst seem to be available over here, firstly the voltage is 110v so in the UK that wont work. Now im wondering when this is going to become available in the UK as it doesnt seem that anywhere sells it, not even the Sony Centres over here.

Your probably wondering why the hell do I want to go for something like that, plastic plastic plastic your thinking, well reason being is the convenience of it, you get your 5.1 amplifier and hifi amplifier built into one unit.

I currently have an 10yr old model of sony hifi that has the built in dolby with the surround sound speakers included with it.

I mainly listen to music but its nice to be able to put a film on through the same hi fi and watch it in 5.1 surround.

I have tried upgrading my hifi to a dedicated AV amplifier, it was a yamaha, but to be honest its performance when only playing music across 2 channels did not impress me, dolby wise excellent but I havent got room to have 2 systems and well I guess im rambling now but I just prefer the sound from these units.

The other reason being that I have 2 massive PA speakers connected to my hifi system and no AV amplifier has been powerful enough to run them when playing music only which is the most important quality to me.

So to top it off, I listen to dance music so music is most important to me and the cinema experience the 2nd.

Im wondering when I will be able to buy this over here or if you know anywhere that sells the UK version.

Thanks
Richard.
