Dude you should give few more details,5.1?? Are you talking about Speakers?
If that is the case,you can check out Z5500,which i bought a few days back and they are decent.BUT they dont accept HDMI but they do accept Optical i/p.

Also do tell your budget.

ya 5.1 speakers only brother....

i dont have anyother option... i need hdmi input only or optical... ...

i have checked a couple of sites and i have found out the following.

1. u will need to buy a game adapter.
2. u wont get real 5.1 channel sound as the source would remain 2ch only.

[confused]

for 5.1 digital be ready to spend 15k min.
i would suggest Z5500.

[moshel]

doesnt ur samsung tv have RCA connectors??

[shashank_re]

Does your PS3 has optical out? If yes,then you job is easy.

Sorry For the late coming but lemme lay it out straight.
HDMI output gives you lossless uncompressed 8 channels of audio. Now to get ur 5.1 speakers pumping out Dolby sound you would have to follow one of the 3 options given below starting in descending order:-

1. Buy a HDMI compliant AV reciever-cum-amplifier. Here you will have to connect your PS3 to the reciever and speakers to the RCA ports of the reciever and another HDMI or component cable to your LCD screen. This obviously isn't the cheapest option but is definitely the best as the Audio you get is just Orgasmic. Amps of these type like "Krell Showcase 5" cost Rs 2,50,000(2.5 lac). The cheaper one of this type is Sony's DAV-IS10. Its a complete set i.e. its got the Amp and the 5.1 speakers at the cost of Rs 40k.
2. Next one is just go ahead and buy the Logitech Z5500D speakers. As it has in-built decoder for THX,Dolby,Dolby Surround etc your all set. Don't forget to get that Fiber Optic cable to connect the two.
3. Cheapest is to buy the Creative 5500 external decoder & AAC/DTS/AC3. Now where and How, I don't know. SORRY

Even PS2 had an Optical out, for PS3 its like a given thing, no questions about it.

[shashank_re]

Z5500D is Rs.14.9k in bangalore (Home Town).I purchased it just few days back

Checkout last month's Digit. u might have got lucky or conned.

[desiibond]

^^ Pricing that digit mentiones is totally insane. They quote too much.

[shashank_re]

Z5500D is for ~18k in S.P Road,blore and it was ~17.5k in home town,but the bill was 14.9k! Seems like hidden discount

[confused]

^^i am coming to bangalore tomorrow.

[edit: i always thought one of the advantages of living in mumbai, was the availability of good hardware at cheapest rates in the country. guess i was wrong. bcoz, 1st a guy got intel q9450 under 15k from chennai, and here z5500d is also for under 15k in bangalore.

or i am not looking at the right places ]

if its true, then i dont see what the problem can be in mentioning it.

[Plasma_Snake]

I personally have found price variation to those printed in Digit and in the Nehru Place market is of at max. 500 bucks. Moreover couple of quids variation depends upon Dealer to Dealer.

going for amplifier + speakers is a great idea....

i have been going around looking for amplifiers myself...the cheapest one is for 10k from marantz. if u want good ones then go for Denon or jbl or onkyo. however these start from 18K+++.

do note that these are audio only amplifiers im talking abt.

now with those amps, u will need to buy unamped speakers too. i saw one Jamo system (5.1) for 27k. really great!

[shashank_re]

Yaar naveen first you tell your estimated budget,only then we can suggest something useful.

[confused]

^^which optical cable and sound card r u using?

[umeshk74]

Philips HTR 5205 has Opti. input and is Priced at Rs. 11k

[naveen_reloaded]

Guys you are great....
But mine is a small room..
Here is my questions...

Do i need a amp for such a small room and my budget is around 15k or say i can extend upto 20k...thats the max...
My PS3 got optical output...will that be equal to hdmi output? Or less?
Do i need av receiver?
And i definitely need a wireless solution... Coz i cant get wires to rear speakers..
So i am willing to spend more on wireless plus PS3 compatible speakers...

Help me guys...

Logitech Speakers Price list

quoted price for Z5500D is 18150
When a company quotes its price direct on internet then there is actually no need of thinking about digit's price. Market price is always lower

[Plasma_Snake]

Sorry Brother but in price range of 15K you can't get Optical Input supporting speakers let alone the Wireless thing, BUT since you have mentioned that you can stretch your budget to 20K then go ahead and buy Logitech Z5500D speakers for 18K, which gives you Optical Input but wireless and yes Optical output sound is much better than HDMI.

Beware- Since you say you have a small room, be ready to clean shattered glass from your room as Z5500D has a 187Watts RMS Subwoofer which can kick out your lil' pets with an eaze.

[johnjjx]

Z5500 is a boom-boom. Nt sweet bass. If its a smal room. Y ppl suggestin 500w monster.

[Plasma_Snake]

Because the guy's priority is Optical Input and then Wireless which can't be fulfilled in his budget. If you know a speaker system in this price range that supports both plz do tell us
BTW " Z5500 is a boom-boom. Nt sweet bass. If its a smal room. Y ppl suggestin 500w monster." There's always a Volume Control Knob

[naveen_reloaded]

Thanks guys..
One more .. For wireless speakers should i have to recharge them or battery?

[Plasma_Snake]

If you are going for the Logitech Speakers then no need to worry about the wireless thingy as it ain't Wireless, BUT if you do manage to get both the things in some other Speaker set then yeah, Wireless speakers have their own batteries which can be replaced after being drained out.

[naveen_reloaded]

Isnt creative z5500 is wireless?

I need a wireless one...
Coz i got a 5.1 from philips and the wire they provided where not enough for the rear speakers....
Thats why i am going for wireless...,
If we need to change batteries means , how long they last?
Does anyone have a wireless speakers...please comment on
This...
