Cheapest way prob is to find a Bush Pro 300 speaker system. All the speakers, inc sub, wires and amplification you need for the outputs on the cyberhome. They were £60 in Safeways but not seen them in a while.

Also try http://www.savastore.com and search for HT-510 - a couple of people on this forum have these and have spoken well of them. (they were available from Novatech, but seems not any more). They come with a basic remote for volume, plus inputs for other sources, so you could run the TV`s sound through it too (obviously you won`t get surround sound, as they`re simply active speakers). Think the Bush one is available from http://www.qed-uk.com - more than £60, though

HOT INFO! Just been off the blower to Westy, who has just taken delivery of a set of speakers ostensibly for his PC, but he`s tried them on his DVD player, and rates them well! They have BUILT IN DD decoder (no DTS), only downside is that they have no centre speaker (but it runs in phantom, he assures me). The sub has an 8" drive unit, and the whole lot is THX certified. The price? Originally around £200, now £70 plus del. The place? http://www.aria.co.uk/ Go to the dropdown menu and select speakers, then click on the Altec Lansing ADA885MG

Any more that are intended for no-pc specs (i.e. that I could hook-up to my Sony DVP-NS700)

The one I mentioned above has a coaxial input, so if your Sony has coax out (just checked - it does), you`ll be laughing. Or were you planning just to use the 6 channel analogue outs to send active speakers? From what Westy was saying (sure he won`t mind me quoting him), that Altec setup has the beating of the Yamaha VS10 - £300 worth - the VS10 has DTS decoding, but if you`re on a budget, looks like the Altecs will take some beating. Seriously, they will sound much better than the Bush 300s of this world. I`m tempted to get one, though I`m not sure for what purpose.....
