Am looking for any opinions on surround sound speakers for the home. Anybody own some wireless 2.1 speakers. Are they any good or would you recommend going for the full 5.1 systems?

I have a set of Kef 2000 series satellites+sub, I'm not a huge 'Audiofool' so I just went on recommendations and magazine/web reviews. Have a look here they have products for 2.1, 5.1 and wireless setups.
Make sure you get an amp with HDMI throughput, I hear Pioneer do some good ones these days.
As I said I'm no expert but from what I've read Bose are one to avoid these days, no idea why mind?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 JohnsonComment

I'm a bit out of date but Yamaha have always been decently prices amps that put out a very good sound quality. Whatever you do go to your local hi-fi shop and get them to demo the kit you are thinking of buying for you, and also listen to some other stuff in a simalr price range to get an idea of the sound quality. Don't need to buy it there, but the demo is well worthwhile.Comment
