Default Recommend me a Home Sound System or sell me one

Hi all

Broke my 6 year old system the other day, gutted to say the least, it was only £15 so I'll get over it.

Anyhow, don't have a huge budget (roughly £50-£100), so can anyone recommend one?

Guessing my budget is slightly too low looking on comet etc, so if anyone has a second hand system they don't want/need that they wanna make a few bob on, let me know

Doesn't need to have DVD player, but that would be good I suppose.

I have been contemplating selling my speakers , they are 2 floor standing Paradigm speakers in Black finish , huge centre speaker to match , massive powered sub as well and 2 rear Eltax Speakers to go as well . My amp died but I was looking for around £200 for the speakers just to get them out of my house and buy a smaller system . After looking around I realised that these small surround packages just dont cut the mustard in comparison and are not that cheap for what you get . A budget increase for me or keep the speakers and buy a new amp .

Duno why, but seeing someone getting called a sponge makes me laugh out loud.

I know what DAB is, that was another question. I want something that hooks up to the TV and DVD, so I guess something with scart compatability.

Ah ok. Sorry, didnt mean to offend Sponges then!

You mean using it as a sound system for your TV/DVD player? I cant really say without looking at them. Sheck the spec and look for an AUx input. If they have that,t hen yes you should be able to run your DVD/or TV through the system if either have phono outputs on the back of the TV or DVD. Hope this helps.
