Recommendations for crash pad Hi Fi / TV - paul45

Morning All,

My best mate had just bought a crash pad close to his new job and was seeking some recommendations as to how to run a minimal set up for DVDs and MP3 music. He intends buying a decent TV, but wanted to run DVDs and MP3 straight from his laptop. He would need a decent amp / speaker system to support this but again he wants to keep size and boxes to a minimum.

Interested to hear of any recommendations on people who are / have run similiar systems.

Much Obliged

Is he considering Blu Ray at all - because if he is it may affect his choice of hardware?

I find my 3 year old top-of-the-range-then cinema amp struggles with some of the audio options available on some Blu Ray discs. I find some discs have to be set for more basic Dolby / DTS audio, otherwise it falls back to two channel stereo!

A digital audio out on his laptop will be essential in any case if he needs more than two channels - even on DVDs.
