John,
From reading the specs at CC's website you can see that the system is rated 80w per channel at a whopping 10% distortion. An acceptable distortion figure would be more in the neighborhood of .7% for an entry level receiver to .07% or less for a higher end one with the same power rating. Basically this thing amounts to a 5 speaker clock radio as far as quality of the amplification and speakers.
There are a lot of no-name htibs on the market at the sub-$300 price point that include a dvd player. None of them is really worth considering except possibly for a child's bedroom.
If you are starting from scratch, you can get decent sound from an htib, but it's gonna cost closer to $500 or so. The Onkyo setup without dvd player at CC is very creditable, but some of the Panasonics or Sonys in the $400 range may be all you need.

I prefer not to push the subwoofers until they\'re properly run in.
