how to start buidling my audio equipment??

[limonv]

i´ve found some surround sets for good price,
what do you guys think of these? since i dont have a budget to buy a nice set of speakers and a receiver, i starter looking for something like this so i can have some nice speakers on budget and save for maybe buying a good set maybe next year.
im a bit indecisive to which the correct thing to do... so what do you think?

If music is the primary purpose of the system an HTIB would not be my choice. While OK for movies they come up way short on music. As someone already mentioned, used gear especially speakers is the way to go. Your $300 to $500 speaker budget will buy a REALLY GOOD pair of used speakers. Check your local Craig's List for speakers. The HK receiver you mentioned in your first post would be my choice.

As for the Bose recommendation: I wouldn't recommend Bose speakers even to people I dislike immensely.
