I went into SuperFi (Hi-Fi retailer) today to buy an interconnect, it looks like it's cost me a new amp

On the shelf was a Marantz PM8003 with over £300 off, after demoing it with a few pairs of speakers including the Wharfedale 10.4 and Quad QUAD 21L2 I couldn't resist and put a deposit down as it's the last one.

£800 of amp for £450

Anyone interested in a pair of Wharedale 9.1?

My Marantz is now up for sale, pair with some £100-150 bookshelf speakers for a great starter system.

Some pretty rad setups in the list there. Ahh why not, I'll bite. PC sound system is an Onkyo TX-SR602 receiver, Paradigm Studio 20 V.5 bookshelf speakers, and an AV-123 MFW-15 subwoofer.

What would you guys recommend for a decent speaker/amp combo for <$200? It's not for me, for a friend. The amp doesn't have to be the best, basically what I'm looking for is a stereo setup that can be upgraded to 5.1 eventually. It won't be nearfield, it'll be for a home theater in a smallish room (wider than long. I believe it's roughly 20'x7'. The TV is on the wider wall.)

TBH, I don't know if he's planning on upgrading to full 5.1, or how much he's willing to spend on the final thing, so I don't know if he'll just stick to stereo, or upgrade and keep these as the front channels, or get better fronts and move these to the rear. It's all just planning right now, I'm not really sure tbh. What I do know is he'll most likely stick with whatever we decide on for a while at least (i.e. he won't upgrade right away).

I just assumed stereo has decent positioning for movies, is this true? I know I would rather have that than a cheap HTIB, but what about for someone who would watch more movies and TV?

I know the budget isn't enough for a receiver, so will he be able to use a normal amp for both TV and an external dvd or bluray player? I'm obviously a noob to home theater, so any clarification is welcome.
