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!!

and your using ps3 for playing films yea?

Good idea to have an upscaling amp - so you only need HDMI to the screen, then other non HDMI connections into the amp will pass video feed through the HDMI to the screen.  Otherwise you the other cables running to the screen also.

Look at good TV, with good sound.

Streaming blueray films (currently have a PS3)

All my films are stored on a hard drive < Best way to stream these from the HD to the TV in best quality and sound.

Never knew you had to run the plasma's in, although my 50" samsung plasma is on movie all the time which reduces the brightness.

Any other advise? I was going to get some picture frame speakers for the back wall but not sure if they do any decent ones??

I came accross this running in at one visit to SevenOaks HIFI. They had several Plasma 50" running in the shop all the same make and model. They said they were destined for a shopping centre and need around 100 hours running in time!!!
