I've got £1000 to buy an av system, here's what I'm looking at:
The receiver seems a bit over kill (i only need 5.1?), I have no idea if the speakers are any good, I just think they look nice and I don't know if I should be getting a subwoofer.
Requirements:
Edit:
I currently have a 3 year old pair of mordaunt short 904's? Which sound great except the bass is a little weak. Thought about getting more mordaunt short speakers to make it up to 5.1 but I can't find all the units in matching black
and those Celestion's look so nice.
Edit 2:
Found them all in black except for the sub
Edit 3: Just found the Pioneer VSX1016S for £409 on empire direct. Spec looks virtually the same as the Onkyo TX-SR604e. Which should I go for?
Thanks

Requirements:
- Great sound quality
- Fairly loud 100wpc for front speakers
- DivX playback
- HDMI - Doesn't seem much point in having video switching without it?
- Nice looking / not too huge
