Best surround amp & speaker combo for approx £700 total?
 

Any ideas appreciated. Average living room size - prefer smaller speakers as
the beast also known as KV36FS70 already dominates room!!

There are so many options its making my head hurt.......is it also possible
to get good music sound at this price point? Or am I living in a world of
Elves and Pixies?

Cheers.

Have a look at you neighbours; if they have pointy ears then either you are
living in such a land or the Vulcans have beamed into your area.

Well Richer Sounds were selling some Yamaha's very cheap (~£120) last month.

If you have any speakers you should try and reuse them, even if you use the
old fronts as the rears. Buy a pair of decent fronts and use small cheap
fronts for the rears and a reasonable centre speaker. If you like a flat
response buy a normal sub-woofer. If you like the floor shaking buy a big
one.

What is the size of a subwoofer got to do with flat reponse? (or not) most
crap subs have pronounched bass in the 50hz region, to give that
"impressive" whoompy-boomy effect. Some of the better quality subs usually
have a flatter reponse than crap subs.. for instance a HGS series- most
likely alot more flatter than a crap (which also happens to be smaller)
subwoofer, for instance one Sunfire reported by a onwer "one noted, boomy",
compared sub.

What I meant by a flat response was a high fidelity response across the
whole audio spectrum - in which case a relatively modest sub will do. OTOH
if the user likes overamplified low end bass (100Hz) then he should buy
something that will weight the frequency response of his system at that end
i.e. a whopping sub.
