Yeah, I went to richer sounds just now.
They recommended a Yamaha RXV371 amp, £200 and a pair of Cambridge Audio S70 Floorstanding speakers, also £200 to start with.

He said the Yamaha have better sound quality than the ones of a similar price, and as you say it's much more expandable later.
Though he did say the sound quality on the Samsung would be fine, just I would lack the expandability later.
What do you think?
My main concerns are to bring it up to a full 5.1 system, with equivalent Cambridge Audio speakers is going to cost another £400-500.
Is this 2.0 setup going to be better than the Samsung one to start with? As I say I'm not an audiophile, so I may never expand it.
Also the amp on this is much bigger, and to be honest looks a bit ugly. The speakers look fine, the exception being the matching subwoofer, which is a huge box. I have no idea where I would fit it in my room.
At least the Samsung one is compact.
