Hi, it is my sons 18th Birthday in a couple of days. I have promised him Home Cinema sound system. He will be playing through it: XBox 360 Elite, Cable TV (Standard NTL box) DVD Player (old and cheap) Music (lots), various stuff from PC and occasionally PS3. I have very limited budget but kinda decided on Jamo A102HCS5 speakers (£249 @ RS) and was going to get Sony STR-DH800 amp, saw today offer of Yamaha RX-V565 at £249. Had original concerns of Sony & Jamo being over bright so now wondering if I should buy the Yamaha? reviews seem to be mixed regarding sound and build quality and also concerned about being unable to assign Optical & HDMI inputs to same source and what appear to be loads fewer inputs than the sony. I know almost nothing about this stuff (only what I have read recently on the web) Any views, advice or comments would be massively appreciated
Thanks
Please don't advise buying much dearer kit, really don't have the pennies
