Hi,
I need to get a 2.1 or pseudo-surround type system. Not ideal, I know, but I will be moving in the not too distant future, and don't want to go to the trouble/expense of installing wires for rear speakers.
Ideally, what I'd like is something which has:
- decent sound overall
- a subwoofer
- 2 or more optical inputs
- if it has a built-in DVD, I would want it to be multi-region and with progressive and/or HDMI out
- good sound for playback of CD/Radio/MP3 inputs
- handles reproduction of speech well (on films/TV)
My main inputs will be an HTPC (with DVD player), a Roku soundbridge music player, Sky (soon to be HD). The output screen is a Sony 46X2000.
I am aware of the Yamaha 800 thing, but this isn't likely to work in my setting.
Budget is up to about £1000. Although this is for temporary use in my living room, I will use it in another location after I've moved so I'm prepared to spend a bit on it (though, of course, less would be better!).
Thanks for any recommendations or suggestions.
Regards,
Ben
