...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 (or more) speaker system will enhance your experience. 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.)
