Thanks for the info again. This want of mine is turning out to be a huge moneysink. I can't decide what to get.

Could you post an example of a decent HTiB for me please?

Well we live in an apartment, so it's not about the volume so much for me. I'm just hoping to get a clearer more realistic sound.

$1200 for a pair. Oh god. Those better make me pizzas when I watch TV. For future speaker searches, are there certain specs that I should be looking at? I see frequency, ohms, hz, watts, etc.

Oh I'm grabbing the amp. It's going to be a present for myself when we move out later this month. Those "frequently bought with the amp" speakers look decent enough to be an upgrade from the stock TV speakers?

Ok cool. Few more questions. With the TV plugged into the amp via headphone cable, will the sound still come from the TV as well as the 2 speakers or just the speakers? You kind of confused me about the amp and speaker wire. So I just twist the black and red things on the amp and insert the...

Yeah, those speakers from the amazon "bundle" are the exact ones I have in my cart along with the 16" wooden stands. Are those 2 speakers decent? Can you make a flow chart of how my PS3 and TV get hooked up? I'm extremely confused. Also, I don't think I saw you answer the speaker wire question...

I'm sorry. I meant white/red, not white/yellow. It also looks like I was seeing things as they are red and black. Would I need the composite switch or would my made-up way work? Here is a picture of the back of the amp. Do I want banana plugs for the speaker wire to turn into the connection I...

I've been looking around some more and found the Dayton Audio DTA-100a which I like. I have a few questions about it. 1) Looks like only 1 input, so how do I go about using it for the PS3 and TV? Do I input the PS3 to the tv and input the TV to the amp? So when the PS3 is on it plays PS3 sounds...

Come on in and have a seat. Audio 101 is now in session.

Will the amp I linked work even though it looks like just a headphone jack on it? With the amp, what controls the volume? Just the TV volume? When I get a receiver, is an amp needed still or does the receiver have one already?

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but what is the point of the Amp? You're saying I can get away without a receiver for now? Just the Amp and some speakers will do? Also, is there a "go-to-brand" for amps, speakers, AVR? Yamaha or just anything? Also, what do you mean "real" set up speakers? So...

Understandable and a good point I didn't consider. Where would I start if it wasn't a craptastic box kit? What would I need? A receiver and just any speakers I wanted? I thought I knew what optical meant, but I've never heard of Toslink. Optical to me means SPDIF. Same thing? Thanks again for...

Thank you for the quick reply. I honestly don't understand 90% of the stuff you mentioned. This is all new to me. Throw me 70 computer parts and I can work wonders, but when it comes to this audio stuff, I'm a total dumbass. $300 is too much for me right now. I'm looking to just get a better...

Disclaimer: I don't know much about TVs and audio as I am just starting to get into it. I am all done hardcore gaming on the computer and focusing on setting up my home theater for movies and console gaming (PS3 at the moment). Right now I have a Vizio E422VLE...
