I have a very small lounge and running speaker cables or even placing wireless speakers will be a bit of a pain.

I was thinking that there seem to be some 2.1 home theatre systems that apparently do a 'reasonable' job of 'faking' surround sound.

I know the purists will think this is a terrible idea - but I was wondering if anyone else has put in a reasonable 2.1 system and has it been ok - If so what was it - where from and how much?

I see Bose have a couple of models and Denon has one - both around $2k that are available locally.

 

Any suggestions??
