Spend the money you save on the X Fi and get a nice cheap setup like this one:
Yamaha RXV359 ~
£119.95
Tannoy FX5.1 Silver (5.1 speaker package) ~
£149.95
or if you want a DVD player
Sony DVPNS29 + Sony STRDE400 + 6 Speaker Package Yamaha NSP110 ~
£249.95
I have the Yamaha & Tannoys and find them an excellent system/. I also found Richer Sounds aftersales service very good, but make sure you check the shop prices aren't cheaper on the web before you buy anything !
Right, the amp looks good, but I think I'm going to go for a 2.0 set-up this year then get surround sound next year. I work in Edinburgh so I might pop into Richer sounds tomorrow.
