The Acoustic Solutions DS1033 is really impressive for £179! Plenty of power for medium rooms. Stands are reasonable quality - plus have nice touches such as wire threading through them so it's hidden.
A word of advice - if you have a smallish room (ours is 12.5ft*12.5ft), then you need to place the sub woofer next to you. If you place it on the opposite wall you get no bass, due to the size wavelength being generated. Placing it next to you allows you to hear the reflected wave off the opposite wall. (I'm not techie on this, but suffice to say when the sub was opposite us we got no bass in the lounge, but stupendous bass in the dining room!)
Another trick is to use a graphic and cut the very deep bass, and boost the shorter wavelength frequencies such as 100hz-160hz. Not satisfactory though as it then is quite peaky - better to muck around with position.
