It is worth getting a demo of some kit but make sure you know what you want to listen to before you visit a retailer, I know it may be hard to believe but some are driven by profit margins and like nothing better than a 'noob' with money to burn turning up at their shop an a Saturday morning!

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
Not wireless i'm afraid.
I have a Yamaha Amp and 5 wired Mission speakers and a wired Mission Sub which knocks out DTS quite nicely. Don't intend on upgrading for quite some time, there are still very few DVDs that take advantage of DTS, I haven't seen any taking advantage of 7.1.
My experiance with Yamaha and Mission is that they are a decent sound quality without paying stupidly high prices, however YMMVComment

System 3 on this page looks good value for money, the Onkyo amp seems to be very popular and as the owner of a couple of pairs of Kef speakers I can testify to how good they are

I do want convenience and am keen on wireless as it just looks so much better.Originally posted by Clippy View PostComment

Why? Most systems only have 2 (rear) wireless speakers and they still need power, the wires feeding my rears are hidden in the stand pole.Originally posted by oracleslave View Post
Bose have spread themselves too thinly and lost focus by using cheap manufacturing techniques yet still charge premium prices.Science isn't about why, it's about why not.

I can't get the Sony link to work, but if you want proper surround sound stay away from a 2.1 system. No matter how much sound processing they throw at you, it still won't sound as good as having speakers all around the room.ǝןqqıʍComment

Thats what I figured. The question is though is the loss in performance so significant that the benefit of no wires and only having 2 speakers cluttering the lounge moot.Originally posted by DiscoStu View PostComment
