Was looking at Pioneer separates fae Richer actually. Sony can GTF, I hate them and they will die, and so will all-in-ones. Ahaha. Thanks, you're welcome.
I just have serious issues with the built quality of Sony's portable range. Granted that doesn't reflect on the home cinema market, but I also don't like their logo.
Went for a Sony receiver + speaker package in the end, much to my chagrin. It ended up being cheap and small. Preferred the old Kenwood receiver but it had a passive sub, which wasn't much cop. It also exploded, which is never a good thing.
Warning: do not attempt to lug an amp and 6 speakers down 1 km of pavement on your own!
Thanks for your advice which I intended to ignore and in the end accepted.
