Advice on Low Cost System
 
I am planning to buy a low-cost hifi or home-theater system.
I will use it for music (80% ) and movies (20%).
I already have a Phillips DVD player.
I will connect to the system the DVD player (used for CD too) and an
IPOD
My budget is 400/500 Euro

I have identified some entry-level HT systems (Onikio, Yamaha or
Kenwood systems) that fit my budget.
But maybe an hi-fi would be better, for music.

Do I need 5+1 channels?
Or 2 +subwoofer are better?
HT or traditional HI-FI or HT amplified with 2+subwoofers?
Best solutions? Manufacturs?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

This is a UK group and here we don't use euros, we use pounds sterling.
