Best 2.1 home cinema system for £2200

Hey everyone, what would be the best 2.1 home cinema system to buy? I have £2200 to spend, I just bought a Pioneer TV and I want some good speakers to match it! I don't want 5.1 at all, I can't stand surround sound (Just my opinion) The reason I don't like surround sound is because it takes up so much room, and also, I find it strange how I watch something at the front with my eyes, but something comes out the back, doesn't feel natural. Anyway, I will stop ranting now!

I want 2 speakers, a sub, and a home cinema reciver/amp, I have £2200 to spend, any help would be great, thanks!

You would struggle to beat the Monitor Audio RS6 speakers (£650), MA RSW12 sub (£750) and Sony STR-DA3400es (£650) receiver. Then again, I would say that! No, seriously, they look and sound amazing. Cost, probably a little under £2k if you shop about.

Looks nice, although, I am willing to spend a bit more.

Get the AVI ADM 9.1's with matching SUB, think that comes to a little over £1800 and you won't need the AMP so will look a whole lot neater! You can also use it for your music too as they have muliple optical inputs on the back and a built in DAC. You can use your left over cash to buy some decent stands like the Super Dreadnaught. Ooooh Nice! I too don't really like the idea of 5.1 so will be looking at this exact set up!

Spending a bit more might not yield better results. You could buy a Bose system.

Lol, Bose is rubbish, or were you being sarcastic?

Is there any other 2.1's though?

There are hundreds of combos that you can go for. The sub needn't match your speakers. The PV1 from B&W is supposed to look and sound great. A lot on here like the BK Monolith sub. As for speakers, floorstanders that might make you smile are the Tannoy Revolution Signature, B&W 684, MS Mezzo 6, Neat Motive...
