20 Watts is very low and I seriously doubt that can deliver the same bass as a full size subwoofer. For true surround sound and awesome bass u will need to save up quite a bit more cash for a decent sound system. I have a similar sound system to this one here http://www.currys.co.uk/martprd/store/cu r_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0726495960.1 236466166@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdgadegjf ffddjcflgceggdhhmdgmk.0&page=Product &fm=12&sm=2&tm=2&sku=670 236&category_oid=-30663#productInfor mationSection and its worth the money. a optical cable goes from my ps3 to that 5.1 receiver for sound and a hdmi cable goes from ps3 to my hdtv for display.

If you want a package and money is no object, buy Bose. You can't get any smaller speaker and the sound is fantastic. Another alternative is a set of Mission Cube speakers and a Surround Amp by Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha etc.
John Lewis On-line also has a few options. See the link below.

Looking for somehthing with just a 1/2 decent quality.
Hey tom!
You don't have to buy something with only 1/2 decent quality when you can have a very good quality for affordable price.

I have a Sony surround sound DVD player which comes with a 6 piece surround sound kit, it wasn't cheap and people haven't really got much bad to say about it, but mine hardly seems like a "surround sound" at all, i watch movies and play my Xbox 360 using them (yes, it is all correctly connected) and i rarely get wowed by the effect they give, 95% of the sound comes from the front 2 speakers whilst just around 5% comes from the back, so yes, occasionally i do hear the odd bullet fly past which is good, but surely whilst playing the xbox i should hear far more, especially with games such as call of duty 4, which is constantly praised on it's surround sound compatibility. The subwoofer seems to be doing it's job, it's just the 2 back speakers, they are connecting wirelessly with the front ones and the green light is always on signalling that they are working fine, but the surround sound effect is bad,... Thanks in advance

I too have a Sony surround sound system. It is a DAV C-700 and is a piece of junk. What I've learned from the pros is that it you want premium A/V stay away from the tv manufactures and go with the people who make receivers and speakers. I've been doing some research and found that I can use an inexpensive VCR/DVD with an (optical 1) connector option. The best receiver for the money seems to be the Onkyo TX-SR605 as rated by CNET. priced at 311.99 to 349.99. Onkyo's next class up would be the TX-SR805 but the price about doubles at $599.98 at VANN's. Lots of great user reviews on this one.
As for speakers, that is a personal choice. Experience some at your local sound equipment store. Some good names are Polk or Procin 600. Once you decide go on line and look for the best price. Good Luck Yukon Jack
I am currently looking to buy a 5.1 Surround sound for my pc and found these - ignore the currency as I am infant British. Can you confirm that these are a good buy:

The look awesome and at £60 it is a really good price. Would you recommend them or do you have similar?
not bad, but I'd rather take a Bose or Panasonic
