I want some speakers to do my Blu-ray films some justice, and thus need a new set of surround sound speakers for the front room. I know nothing about audio equipment, so I'm relying on the friendly peeps of x404.

My requirements:
- Must work with PS3

Er, that's it. Bonus if it works with the PC too.

Something sub-£400 please, cheaper the better :).

I've gone for the Logitech Z5500 5.1 speakers, since these will work with both my PC and PS3, and support Optical input. They got rave reviews and were only £200, didn't seem bad. I'll report back when I get them - hopefully they'll make my Blu-ray films a much better experience (esp. Star Trek when it comes out!).

Sounds like a plan. Difficult to hit £400 with "hifi". I'm sure you'll love them :)

I had them before I upgraded to my Onkyo/Mordaunt Short 5.1 system.
Fantastic. Just remember to keep the sub away from your PC and don't try to extend the control cable with a monitor lead (it goes fizz then dies).

Cheers for the heads up, I'll remember that! :shock:

Words cannot describe how amazing these speakers are. Dolby 5.1 Digital Surround sound with an optical connection from the PS3 sounds obscene. Films are now a real pleasure to watch! Just waiting for a Godly hour to try music and games now! :D :D

I read the title and though "Argos - £5.99", then read the post....not so cheap ;)
