As you have bought the right TV then you should have the right receiver on the list - Denon. 

As for the corner sofa just have left, right and centre rear as opposed to the traditional 2 channels. Otherwise don't bother spending the money on an AV setup.

Dont tell Teutonic_Tamer you bought this magazine!!

[Johnny_tro]

Sounds good - my only concern with the magazine - WANT FACTOR!!!! Will this make you want things youm just can't have, or do they take into account normal ppl too? with normal budgets?

Hedge < Yes, its hard to put rear speakers in my lounge. Think I will be happy with 2 front, 1 centre and a box.

Do you think I should forget the amp then now?

[Hedge]

Nope.

Do you think I should forget the amp then now?

Nope but its pointless if you aren't using the rears.

Have you considered 3 or even 4 small satellite speakers wall mounted? Left, right and 1 or 2 centre rears?

[edd666999]

What's the budget?

[neg]

KEF do some front speaker which are all in one, they have some silly amount of speakers in each unit, designed to work like a surround set - no way as good but not a bad compromise.

My brother has a set, dont think they were cheap mind you.

[john_o]

as its a plasma dont forget to run it in  (turn off dynamic contrast/reduce brightness etc)
some do, some dont choice is yours 

[Johnny_tro]

like to main 5.1 just my sofa is big and hard to get anything in corners (Right up against the wall.

Looking at small hand sized speakers - can stand or wall mount - not fussy.

Budget - realistic!! Not £1000's but not £24.99!!
