Suggestions welcome: Need a 5.1 amp + speakers (wireless rears)

Hi,

Hope someone can help or at least offer some advice!

I am looking to buy my friend a 5.1 speaker system for his TV/Bluray. Needs to have wireless rear (surround) speakers.

Also, it needs to have (or be easily able to buy) stands for the rear speakers.

Hope to hear back and many thanks!

Cheers.

K.

The sort of thing you're looking for is sold by Comet/PC World, Argos and probably The Shopping Channel. It's an all in one home cinema kit. Main makers are Samsung and LG. It's crap, doesn't sound that great (to anyone with a passing interest in fidelity) and has poor connectivity. BTW, you know that "wireless rear speakers" aren't truly wireless, right? One of them has a mains cable and there's a speaker wire that links the two rear speakers together.

What you've done is just walk in to a great steak restaurant and asked for the AV equivalent of a Big Mac meal. The rest of the diners are looking at you in puzzlement.

Thanks for your reply Chris (albeit patronising in your final paragraph).

I have a Sony DAV-DZ700FW myself so realise that the rear speakers are still wired to one another, more trying to avoid wires running from the amp to the rears.

Cheers
