I (well rather, my dad) is looking for a nice home audio system. It's gonna be used for the TV and PS3 he has. Here are some things we're searching for:
-5.1 surround sound
-Good quality
-Able to get the best out of HD audio (For instance, the BHD BluRay disc says it has uncompressed PCM audio. Do I need something special to take advantage of this?)
-Decent price
Also, what about connectors? Are optical connections the best for this stuff? All that has to be hooked up to this stuff is a PS3 and a cable box. Both the PS3 and cable box have SPDIF outputs.
I would look for solutions myself, but I have no idea what sites have reliable reviews for these things.
Thanks!
edit: Buying seperate parts is not out of the question. As long as they're compatible. My dad and I are total noobs to home audio.. If it helps, here's a crude painting of the room layout *THE RED LINES=FREE SPACE*:
