I'm thinking of getting a 5.1 surround sound system for $500 or less. I've a 32" samsung HDTV, a pretty nice DVD player, but still using the TV's built in speakers. All I want is a decent system for Movies and Games (PS2 and Xbox). I don't really need a system that can shake the room, but just good enough to watch some action movies and games.
I've been looking at those Theater in a box, but I've already got a DVD player which supports dts and Dobly Digital. So I think it'll be a waste of $$ to get a Theater in a Box with those 5 disc changers (who would need a 5 disc DVD changer?! you can only watch 1 dvd at a time right?) Also, not many Theater in a Box has component Input. I need at least 2 (3 is the best) component input for Video switching (between DVD, PS2 and XBox). I've looked at Fry's, they've a Component Video Swtching box but it cost $100!! It'd be nice to just let the reciever handle the switching.
As for speakers, I know smaller speakers usually don't produce good sound, but since I've a small living area (maybe 15X15), big speakers isn't an option.
So any suggestions? or should I just go with a Theater in a Box since my budget is So Low? :(
Thanks a lot!
