Best Surround Sound Systems

Based on Wharfedale's hugely popular Diamond speakers - but shrunk down to just 20cm high per satellite speaker - the Wharfedale DX-1 HCP is one of the best (if not the best) sub-£500 5.1 home cinema systems. It's much better with music than most 5.1 systems at the price too, with a design that's equal parts style and traditional home cinema substance.
