Dear all the guru here, I need some help on purchasing a new set of sound system for my HT in my living room. The set-up is for me to watch astro, listen to "astro MTV" songs and watching some DVD. Btw, I am not a hardcore user. Currently I,m only using a Sony 37 inch LCD TV and the sound is "just bad" / "bassless".

Over the last few weeks, I have went to shop to try HTIB and separate set. HTIB sound "a bit flat" and of course the separate set is awesome but it's much more expensive.

Basically, I do not want too many cables lying arounds my living room (as I prefer neat and tidy space). After from HTIB and separate set, I also considering soundbar and even those PC speakers (ie. Harmon Kardon Soundbar II) to connect direct to my LCD TV. Please advise what should I get as I,m really lost now.

Budget: Maximum is RM4k.

Peference: Something neat to look at.

Thanks mpyw and azbro for the suggestion. Yup, my LCD is mounted a bit too high. haaa. (Just lazy to adjust it).

My sofa is actually L-shape. Actually i only have 3 walls (behind the LCD, on the left and opposite the LCD). On the right is actually empty so I,m not sure the virtual surround will work or not.

If I,m not too particular, will a 2.1 speakers works just fine for listening to music?
