Hi, I want to get a nice sounding speaker system for my living room to hook up to the TV.
I have a 50" Panasonic Plasma, a DVD/VHS (which I never use), a PS2, a Wii, and a PS3 that I DO use. I'm totally NOT a movie person, so I don't care to get a speaker system with a DVD player, esp. since I already have a DVD player that I don't use. I like the theater sound with the bass, and killer video game sound/picture. I have satellite TV, but I don't subscribe to the Hi Def channels, so that's not an issue. I'm mostly looking to have great sound. Which setup would I need that will accept the connections for my TV and PS3/Wii?
All I'm seeing in stores are full systems with DVD players and I'm guessing that what I'm needing is just a receiver w/ speakers. (The kind we all had in our early 20's that would blow our apartment neighbors away, but we usually ended up selling to pay the rent.)
Where can I get a good setup for around $300? I don't know anything about the HDMI, upconverting, or what the diff. between 5.1 and 7.1 is.
Can you guys give me an idea of what I should get or any systems you know of that sound really good?
Thank you so much for your help!
