I like the idea of that Onkyo all in one unit. | |

that sony receiver is a great bit of kit for strating out - also sounds good for stereo too for music | |

ive got b&w front and centre speakers, yamaha prologic pre amp and sub with jamo rear speakers sounds great but cant turn it up or neighbours complain. if you buy seperates you can mix and match and get a bit at a time so end up with a set up that you can expand on as time goes on. get a decent pre amp to start and a pair of speakers. | |

quote:For a budget kit I think that Sony will do really well. The Boston's aren't exactly picky when it comes to receiver either. Something like a second hand Denon 2312 will obviously be better, but I'm not sure you could get that for 200£!? This setup will be a good base to work from as well, if you want to upgrade later. | |

quote: Nah I got bookshelf's all round, if I had space I'd have floorstanders at the front and bookshelves behind though. It's mostly a space/budget reason why people have smaller speakers at the back - 90% of your speaker budget should be spent on the three front speakers being realistic. Definitely go for some entry-level separates with your budget - Onkyo do some great entry level receivers for 2-300 quid. Wharfedale are a decent shout with their "Diamond" range speakers. I think the 10.1's go for about £150 and the centre for about £100. You could either get 10.1s for the rear as well so £400 total on speakers, but alternatively the smaller Diamond 9's are like £50 nowadays and they make great rears. I've not mentioned a Sub, when I first did my setup somebody (wisely) recommended me to blow my budget on receiver and the 5 speakers first, Sub can always come afterwards. | |

The Boston cubes are really decent but i'd personally hunt for an Onkyo or Denon over that Sony, although you'll probably have to go secondhand on the AV to keep it in budget. | |

Im after a budget system, not really sure what I want, just know i don't really want to spend anymore than £400-500 on a 2:1 or 5:1 system. |
