Looking for an easy HD surround sound solution i.e. not getting a separate AV receiver (don't need epic music, just want to enjoy PS3/Bluray).

Does anyone have anything good to say about this system? Seems a bargain at £300.

They're ok but honestly, mate, the air is thick with the scent of false economy.

When you factor in the utility derivation chart against the cost of time spent in Benidorm, shouting and foaming, the yield of a decent AV receiver/sub-sat rig trips the red 'no brainer' light.

The problem is the confusion of amplitude and/or bass with quality.

Trust me, if you want to live.

Hi Simon, an eloquent response as always. hehe Hope you are well.

Well, I can get a couple of Wharfedale Diamonds and an Onkyo SR507 for about the same price....but no sub.

The HTX just seems a good piece of kit for someone like me who does not have expansive music set-ups (or a wife who wants her lounge littered with A/V equipment!) etc....

....although I was never a TV connoisseur until you convinced me to buy the Pio KRL! hehe

If you can/are allowed punt in the alternative.
