Best speaker packages

It might mean rejigging the furniture. It might mean moving to a bigger house. But if you want the full home cinema experience, a multi-channel speaker package is the only way to go. Whether you're watching all-out action-fests or beard-stroking foreign art films, a 5.1-channel speaker system will enhance your experience no end. You can spend anywhere from a few hundred pounds to thousands - so how do you know which system is right for you? By checking our list below, that's how. All of these get the What Hi-Fi? seal of approval, so you're guaranteed a great sonic experience.

(If you're really tight on space, though, a soundbar or soundbase is the next best thing.)
