Unbelievable THX PC speaker bargain, please look in!!!....
As recommended by Westy, Aria have some of these in for £46 inc VAT. I have a set on my PC, and for anyone wanting a cheap surround sound kit for their DVD player, it`s great - remember it DECODES DD5.1, and the sub is pretty convincing.

Oh my god!!!! :o :o :o :o :o
Peeps, snap a set up without ANY hesitation!! Ok in larger rooms absolute volume is a little lost, but these babies can be cranked to full volume and not even break a sweat.
And as Richard says, that sub is pretty good too.
Please, for £50 - that`s cheaper than a night on the sauce ;)

These look good, would I be able to get full DD 5.1 by wiring them directly to my Acoustic Solutions DVD551, as I only have a Pro Logic receiver. How would my set up work?
Cheers

RE: Bargain Altec Lansang speaker set
Indeed yes they will
Simply connect your dvd to the coaxial digital input on the Sub unit of the speaker set and you`re in!
Fabulous sound i must confess. Got one on my PC and the sound is fantastic for only 50 sheets

Don`t think they`ll do for my main system downstairs, though.
Nice spot, though, cheers.

RE: Bargain Altec Lansang speaker set
I know almost nothing about subs and DD 5.1, apart from the little I`ve learned on this site, but I`ve purchased this anyway for my bedroom setup. I`m using an LG 4710 at the moment which I know outputs DD, but I`ll also be looking forward to cranking up some tunes with this sub...cheers folks!!!!
Oh yeah, a question while I remember. What extra cabling will I need to buy? I don`t own any coaxial connections. I am planning on plugging the sub either into my DVD player directly, using a coaxial plug, or directly into my amplifier, again with the coaxial. Help! :)

RE: Bargain Altec Lansang speaker set
As a short term measure, you can just use a single phono cable. However, I`m sure the speaker set comes with a coax lead, so don`t panic. Not sure it will be worth upgrading that cable - Westy?
RE: Bargain Altec Lansang speaker set
Am I the only one who can`t see this offer at all ? where is it!
RE: Bargain Altec Lansang speaker set
Indeed, I can`t see the speakers either, AND I WANT THEM NOW!!! Where are they on the site? >:(
RE: Bargain Altec Lansang speaker set
Looks like they are all gone - were ten left last night.
Regards,
Peter
