Quick tip. Don't post your email address on a public forum. The spambots will get you!

Do you want all-in-one or separate amp and speakers?

Hi Ryan

I'd go for the Sony DAV-IS10 (£600) which delivers a big sound from tiny speakers. It was our 2007 Product of the Year and will handle surround sound from your Xbox 360 and DVDs no problem. If you can get it for £370 that's an amazingly good price!.

Alright thankyou Andy, the only way it will collect is through optical ouput right? and how longs the wire i would say my rooms about like 3 meters long buy 3 meters wide ? will the wire be long enough to trace around the room ? i want to use the plastic stuff to cover it over thankyou mate.
