I have the Denon DHT-500SD and it's awesome for an all in one solution.

£400 but worth every penny.

Denon are a quality brand Bart. You won't be disappointed if you go for any of their stuff. Like i said though it's a bit pricey.

google the model I mentioned above. Nobody has a bad word to say about it.

The model up (DHT-550SD) offers 6.1 but personally I don't think it's worth it. 5.1 is ample.

I had heard, but the sound it brilliant im very happy with my set up!

Gewt a bit pissed off with my dad tho! The Bose system is mental and he has a FULL Mission set up with Yamaha A1 amp!

Unbeatable sound!
