Surround Speaker System - Help please

[SK]

Hi

I am looking for advice in deciding which surround speaker system I should buy. I have Pioneer KURO 50' TV with its horizontal speaker that is attached to the bottom of the tv and I also have a BD player.

I am looking for either a 5.1 or 7.1 speaker system with best sound clarity but definitely not with a BD/dvd player. I went through online reviews and Which? Best buys but all of them seem to come with a 'main unit'!

I also would love to go to a shop and see its performance instead of buying from an online retailer directly.

any suggestions please?

thanks in advance

SK

Just a few questions that might help people to give you some useful feedback;

How big is your room?

What's your budget?

Are you going to use the system mainly for movies and TV or will you be using it for music too?

From your post I assume you're after an amplifier and speakers. Visually are you looking for smallish satellites and a subwoofer, or are you prepared to look at traditional speaker sizes? Do you want standmounts or floorstanders or do you want them to be wall-mounted?
