I thought the home theatr system would be a good idea considering I love my movie and TV watching experience! I dont really know much about this stuff, so any advice is just fantastic! I'm not made of money, so the budget for the full home theatr area should be capped near $1000.asd I decided to start with the speakers, and build up from there... I did some research and whatnot, and i found this set here: Onkyo HT-S3400 5.1-Channel Home Theater System - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004O0TRDI Is this a good bang for my buck, while keeping in mind my total budget?

I listen to 2 channel system, and I don't miss other channels at all. Your ears will thank you if you go this rout. All in one system like the Onkyo on Amazon will hurt your ears, and give you listening fatigue. Not an enjoyable experience. Frankly, $1000 won't buy very much quality if you want surround sound - but if you swtich over to stereo (2 channels), then you will get something that sounds better for sure. Let us know if you choose this path, and you will get good suggestions on what to buy. |
