Any ideas?

 

Its for my games room and mainly for my ps3 so must have an optical input and cheap as possible ;)

I just bought a fantastic LG one the other day, 5.1 with all the kit. tall speakers subwoofer and the wee speakers and HDMI dvd player got it on sale for 120, im chuffed as ihave a 42"plasma LG tv so matches that:D!

But.......I noticed in tesco something...

its a 5.1 with sub and all that........imo, if your on a budget this is a bargain.

What do you call cheap? I personally don't think the really cheap, all-in-a-box systems are worth bothering with, as you'd achieve far better overall sound just getting a simple stereo system. I work for a shop that sells surround sound systems, but what people class as cheap varies hugely!

dont get me wrong i have about £10k worth of home cinema kit in my front room but just wanted a cheap and cheerful system for my ps3 in my games room as the sound of the tv on the wall is a but kak LOL

 

i think i have sourced a samsung 2.1 system second hand for £35 now :) which i'm sure will be fine

 

cheers for the input

Mike

cool, hope it works well :)

 

What home cinema kit have you got? I'm a big stereo person myself, but am still in to the home cinema side to some extent.

i have toned it down a bit when i moved house as the living room is smaller but i have a 50" panasonic 1080p plasma, sony bluray, sky hd, denon 4306 amp running B&W MT-30 speaker system and quality cabling and interconnects etc

 

sounds good for a small speaker set up and the sub is amazing but then again the sub was £1200 on its own LOL

 

my last system was slightly bigger running 7.1 again with B&W speakers and a projector with a 8 foot screen :D great for the footy

good stuff, we do Denon in our shop so I know that one well.

 

I'm big into Naim Audio gear myself, it's addictive, serious competition at the moment between that and the Zed!

pure audio is something ive never been much into, although i appreciate it i dont have any music that i can honestly say and need to listen to in anything better LOL

Go for a hi-def projector dude, I`v got a panasonic ptae 900 with hdmi input, linked to my ps3, fooking awesome, forget tvs and plasmas its the dogs b`s, I`ve converted my garage into a games room, call of duty 4 on a 10ft screen, with prologic sound. look on e-bay you can pick em up now for about £400, keep an eye out for the lamp hours, over 1500hours is gettin on a bit and they cost £300 when they blow, but worth every penny!!!!!

Darren, sorry completely off topic, but what are those wheels on your car? I rather like them, quite unusual looking.

Ive got a Logitech Z-5500 in my office and its an awesome piece of kit. Has opitical in, direct pc in, coax in well read the spec :)

It's hooked up to my pc and xbox 360 and a set of headphones that plugs into the side of the desktop control panel incase of early morining CoD :rofl:

you can't beat the b&w 6 series on price for performace. My sub just cost me £1300 and another £700 for the room EQ (SVS PC13 Ultra and SVS AS-EQ1)

yeh my last speaker set up was the 6 series B&W :)

Hi Bud, Wheels are 19" ace aviators got them from wheelbase in Manchester, I first saw them on a 350z with a veilside kit on, looked awesome considering it was a 350, lasted great for 3 years then the road salt corroded them, but i`ve just had them refurbished, look good but not as good as they used to, they look better in real life :)

I've got an Acoustic Solutions 5.1 set up with my HD projector and considering it was only £100 it's awesome.
