No, it's not for me. My system is just fine, but a good friend wants to add a 5.1 system to his room that includes a rear projection HD tv that is about 4 years old, and would use the old component cables for HD hookup.

He is hoping to spend no more than $1000, but I think I got him to open up to a few hundred more. He sent me info on two systems that both included an 8" sub, and I told him right off the bat that he will need at least a 10' but should go with a 12, and he will do as I suggest.

The one had a Denon 925W processor for about $500 with Mirage speakers, but I've heard a lot of negatives on Denon. The other is a Denon DHT687BA with Boston Acoustic Micro speaker system.

I seem to recall that many of you like Yamaha and Onkyo, so I would appreciate any advice on specific models if you own them or know a lot about them.

Thanks again,
Swish
