Surround sound system, Home cinema system, Mini sound system ? Help?

Question by Jim: Surround sound system, Home cinema system, Mini sound system ? Help?
I want something that will just run off my tv so i can listen to music in a higher quality as my speakers built into the tv are rubbish.
I have a Goodmans HD Ready tv with lots of ports etc, so most systems will run with it.

However i want something between £60-£80 that has a subwoofer as i love my bass .

Is there anything you could recommend that is great for a reasonable price ?

Thanks in advance =).

“as my speakers built into the tv are rubbish….I have a Goodmans”
That’s to be expected. All Goodmans product are rubbish.

“However i want something between £60-£80 that has a subwoofer as i love my bass .”
That is a joke, right? All you’ll get for that money is a basic PC speaker system. Fine for a computer, rubbish for watching movies.

“Is there anything you could recommend that is great for a reasonable price ?”
Yes. Onkyo SR-506 a/v amplifier (£400) and a Jamo A102-HCS5 surround speaker system (£250). That’s the cheapest decent combo money can buy.

Basically, you’ve got about 10% of the cash that you’ll actually need for a system “that is great for a reasonable price”.
