OK, I've not used this in 2 years so might as well offer it up here.
Surround amplifier as in picture below. All the usual Dolby stuff, pokey amplifier so sounds great.
Set of 5 speakers, Bowers & Wilkins. 2 front towers, approx 3 foot high, 1 centre channel and 2 rears with dedicated stands.
This lot cost me over 3 grand when I bought it so I reckon 500 quid is reasonable.
Will try and get some more pics up. Might listen to offers, then again, might not. 
Front speakers look like these.
For the techie stuff, I found this on tinternet
