Techtronics have a terrible reputation and after being stung myself I certainly wouldn`t buy anything from them - however good the bargain is.

Of course, I`m sure there are plenty of people who have good things to say about them - I`m not one of them, buy with caution.

True a good bargain indeed, but with the imminent release of the davs s888 I would wait a little while.

Price should go down even more. Look what happened to the c770, its now £449 at richersounds.com

Without wanting to spoil the thread, the 880 is absolutely crap beyond everything i`d hoped for. The S550 manages to outshine it in a very embarassing way indeed.

Don`t let those big lanky speakers fool you, both those and the sub are as weak melted cheese, (!!!??).

Avoid, i hated it. Still, nice price...

Thanx Westy, why do so many people love it then. I thought it was 600W, isn`t that more than the s550. I think the speakers are getting to me on the s880.

Thanx for the advice though, but any other ideas on how to spend £600 on home cinema. I love my sound and want the best for £600. Will separates do the trick and manage to beat the s880.

Cheers m8

Assuming you need DVD player too, why not consider a Tosh 330 or 220 (around £100-£120) and the Acoustic Energy Aego P5 (£480).
Not a bad way to spend £600. Blow the Sony(s) away.

thanx for that ste, but sure I heard someone say that the aego5 is crap when it comes to playing cd`s, etc. Its the business for playing dvds, dvd-r`s, etc.

Any other suggestions from others.

It doesn`t `play` them as such - it`s a processor, active sub and 5 speakers. Look around at the various reviews to see how good it is. Certainly not crap. In fact see what Westy thinks of it here.. http://www.area450.com/homecinema/subsat3.htm
Don`t know what the Tosh is like for music though.

Thanx Ste,

Sorry forget it was only the processor, active sub and speakers, looked at so many all in one systems over the last few days forgot wot was wot.

Thanx for the link too, found another one
