So a 7.1 system under a grand is considered low-end then? Gotcha. So the system you recommended is a 5.1 system then? Could you give me the model number of the both your recommended receiver and speakers?

Also, I just read online yesterday that the PS1 is actually an amazing sound system.

Could this be used as an audio reciever hooked up to the TV instead of blowing 300 on the Pioneer reciever?
