Don't know of one I'm afraid - the speaker system hooks up to the control unit via a dedicated multicore cable, and while you could use the little 'golf ball' speakers with an AV receiver - though they may cause problems, as I think they're only 3ohm impedance or thereabouts - there's no way of hooking up the subwoofer unit to a conventional receiver.

ive noticed the new Sony HT-IS100? which is pretty much the same system as the davis without the dvd player? can that offer a situational? any help will be great!! p.s can you think of an amp/ reciver that i might use?
cheers

Not quite sure what 'can that oiffer a situational?' means, but AFAIK the HT-IS100 is a complete speaker/amp system, so you are again unable to use it with an external receiver.
