wanting to pick up basic samsung surround sound, but know nothing on this stuff

p1tse · 07-01-2009, 9:42 AM

we've got a samsung flat screen, so thought i would like to get matching surround sound/ home cinema system. i know nothing about speakers etc.

i've seen samsung do, dvd player (also as an amp i guess), and with surround sound speakers.

i like thin tall floor standing ones, as opposed to little speakers, so don't need speaker stands etc.

on a real budget, so thinking of picking up a used system, but is there anything i need to know or think about and where to look apart from ebay.

remember seeing these systems new at sub £300, so hope used systems are alot less.

Hi again,try Pixmania: The one-stop shop for great deals on there for £184?

thanks: pixmainia £189 for the same one as john lewis.
just looking at john lewis, as we have wedding gift vocuhers to use.

stupid question no doubt, but when you get:
2 floorstanding speakers and 2 sattelites speakers say
which goes front and rear, or does it not matter?

main reason, for not going for small speakers, is not needing speaker stands (as i guess more expense)

Normally the floorstanders would go at the front.

Hi p1tse,

Did you go ahead with a purchase of the Samsung Surround System and if so, what do you think of the sound it gives?

Cheers
