Hello

I am wanting to treat my lovely husband to a home cinema system for Christmas this year. Both of us hate the wires that most systems have, so I'm thinking of buying him a wireless/pseudo surround sound system.

I would like to spend around £500. We're not brand loyal - we have a Phillips LCD HD ready TV. Sky+ (not HD). PS3. And a Sony DVD player. With this in mind (perhaps it's not relevant...I just don't know!) - could someone recommend a product?

I like the look of the Phillips HTS8100 and the Yamaha YSP900 but don't know enough about what else might be around and worth considering. The Yamaha doesn't look like much for what you pay and the Phillips would mean replacing a perfectly good DVD player, which seems wasteful. The Denon X-space system looks fab too, but it's out of my price bracket sadly.

Can you offer any suggestions?

Hi

 Wireless systems often turn out to be less "wireless" than you might imagine. If you want a pseudo system then the Yamaha gets good reviews; none of them are as good as "proper" surround sound, but you pays yer money and takes yer choice. Yamaha is good quality kit for the money.
