cheers for that big help. how good is this set up, and how good are the alternate surround speakers (if u know that is)?

also been looking at the kef 2005 system around £400, how good are these with the onkyo?

cheers

You could get a set of Quad L-ite (£495) the only problem with this system is the Quad's are getting hard to find in any colour but Rosewood, Try for a bigger discount on Rosewood they look really good if they will go with your living room. I have this system in Silver and am very happy with it. I looked at KEF 3005, KEF 5005.2, Monitor Audio Radius, but got the Quad's as they were as good as the last 2 for AV and better for music did not like the 3005 and at £500 are just silly, they are about to be updated, the only real difference is the gold plated terminals and will go back up to £1000............

[/quote] I haven't listened to them but I would be very surprised if they didn't blow away a style system like the Kefs for similar money.
