Page 1 of Need some Advice on Surround Sound Kits

Hi,
I have a Scan DVD Player which I am quite happy with but am now looking for a Dolby 5.1 Surround kit .

Have looked at
SCAN AV6
Yamaha Theatre system in PC world
Creative Soundwork 3500 in PC world

I have a budget of about £200.00, please can users share any advice etc with me or point me to reviews on the web etc

Many Thanks
Bennyk

I`ve heard all these systems & opted for the Creative one in the end.
IMO if u have a small/medium size room this system is more than adequate, although once u get the bug u will probably wanna get bigger & better speakers. Try to demo them if u can though. BTW The DTT3500 doesn`t decode DTS (although Creative have just brought out the Inspire 5700 that does), so if u really want DTS (DTS was not a big difference over DD for me) then IMO u would be better off with the Sony HTK215 system (a little over your budget though) or even the Yamaha system that has been raved about on this forum. I thought the Yamaha system & the Scan that u mentioned, not only sounded poor but didn`t look as smart as the DTT3500. Put it this way, the DTT3500 for me blew me away, I`ve yet to be unhappy with it`s performance for films & surprisingly for music. PS for a demo play Ronin (when De niro fires the rocket from the car) absolutely superb, rocks ya foundations!
Good luck!

The "Yamaha one that has been raved about" is the VS10, and, as lees says, would be over the budget (£320 or there abouts).
Don`t know what price the kit is in PCWorld, but http://www.dabs.com has the Soundworks 3500 at £176 inc VAT & free delivery.

Hi Lees
Thanks for your advice, I have been looking at the 5700 - IYO is it worth the extra money?
