What's your total budget and what is it to include ?

How big's the room ?

What will you be watching ? and on what ?

If it is more for music, I suggest spending half or a little more of that on a decent stereo amp, and saving up for an AV amp with preouts, so you can separate the 2 (ie run music from the stereo amp, and the centre, rear, and possibly sub from the AV amp).

For the time being, a stereo amp driving decent speakers works well for TV and films anyway.

Any of the current budget favourites would do...Marantz, Cambridge, Pioneer, Rotel, Denon etc.

ÿ

Any decent £200-£300 stereo amp will be far better for music than a £400 AV receiver.ÿ

If you buy separate systems but twin the front speakers you may spend similar money for better performance. You'd have 5 speakers and 2 amps so that you could have seperate functionality.

Too much responsibility and you need not to rush into this. So many options need careful consideration. Think about all of the things that are essential to you and then do some research.

Then come back and your choices will act as a cue for forum recommendations.

If you are after a "musical" 5.1 amp then for the money you won't do better than this . Originally cost £800 and can be found online for around £500. Or if you go here this weekend you can buy the amp for £480 on special offer at the superfi stand.
