I picked one up at the weekend for £235 (inc. delivery) online, as an improvement to the sound from a 40" sony in my second room. Although it cannot obviously produce a surround sound, because my sofa is placed directly against the back wall, this was not an essential feature. Overall, i am very impressed... the bass produced is substantial ad well timed and although the treble can overreach occasionally, this is not a big problem. For the money, well worth the investment.
