Which home cinema system to go with a PS3?
Going to be getting a PS3 shortly and will be rquiring a home cinema system, but will not require one with DVD player as the PS3 upscales DVDs, plays blu rays etc.
So which amp and speaker system, and preferably one that I can use to play music over (again from the PS3 and ipod) to avoid replacing my 1988 separates system? I don't want to pay too much, 200-300 quid ish if that helps. |

Just get a nice pair of studio monitors.

I bought a 'sound bar' to go with my PS3, sits under the telly. Not exactly 5.1, but fills the room with nice sound, without that awful whoompa whoompa crap bass that comes with most surround systems. Plus no speakers and wires everywhere.

If the former, you will be streteched to get a 5.1 system for around £300. A 2.1 system, well, get yourself a pair of Floor standing speakers and an Onkyo AV amp. Both can fit just about in your top end of your budget, then as money allows, you can get the rest of the system, (centre speaker & Rears speakers) Im not a fan of Richers sounds, but something like this http://www.richersounds.com/showprod...KY-TXSR505-SIL And these http://www.richersounds.com/showprod...=GALE-4040-MAP Or this instead, no need for an amp http://www.richersounds.com/showprod...d=ONKY-HTX22HD |

Yep, that last Onkyo HTX 22HD looks a good bet, HDMI and can be upgraded to 5.1 later, I may look further into it.
My other thought was the Sony DAV IS10, although it comes with a DVD player (un-needed) and is a little more than I was planning (about 330 ish from some places): http://www.flattelly.co.uk/shop/sony...em-p-2083.html |

I was refering to flat response Studio monitors. They are designed to be used in studios and for the price are miles better than HIFI speakers. I am not a fan of any of these 5.1 systems as usually they colour the sound. If you could see the frequency response you would see that it has echanced low end and top end and a lot of mid frequencies anntenuated. A smily face if you will.
See here: http://www.thomann.de/gb/active_nearfield_monitors.html For the love of god do not buy any behringer ones but there are some Alesis and Mackies that are within your price range. And just be careful some are priced per pair others are single. |
