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.

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.

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:oops:

for 5.1 digital be ready to spend 15k min.
i would suggest Z5500.
Z5500D is for 28,k:cool:

Does your PS3 has optical out? If yes,then you job is easy.
Even PS2 had an Optical out, for PS3 its like a given thing, no questions about it.:D

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

Evolving Rapidly...
^^i am coming to bangalore tomorrow. :D

[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 :(]

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.:cool:

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!
