Help: what surround system for £1.5k - £2k instead of bose v20/v30

[innerspaceservices]

had my heart set on the bose v20 or c30 until i heard it don't have the bells and whistles i thought it had - after reading forums, peeps saying it is not so good sound after all, summit wrong with sound format/connectivity (in this day and age that is disgraceful), aint that the whole point of wot this is all about, if it aint up to scatch, I don't want to touch it....

just want blummen good sound but not got space for giant speakers - got 22ft x 10ft lounge but got big tv cabinet and settee, u'd know what i mean if you saw it, big comfy stuff in lounge, so want it tidy/tucked away/wall mounted, and looking & sounding as hot as - like me...

got this already
PS3 - blu-ray
Sky HD - all channels
50" 1080 Samsung Plasma

current Pioneer old hat hifi with prologic 12 years old, annoyingly mouths out of sync to the tv - had nuff now. and actually disappointed with samsung plasma sound, get to about volume 35 and keep going up and up and volume stays the same - not that loud....

wot am I going to buy for my hard earned cash?

Help me please and btw you are talking to a non audio techie, so hold my hand big time pretty please - i need this techo stuff spelling out to me until I get the hang of it - big soz in advance for being here in first place but this is the final straw - time i did summit bout it, I don't think i can live life no more like this

i am a pathetic female and this is mans work all this research coz i am busy at the kitchen sink and being alone, can't afford big money.
