Hi All, new to the Forum, and finally making the jump (upgrading) into a HT system from my rigged Bose iPod docking station. I live in a small town house with a rectangular (side-by-side) living room / dinning room. I currently have an LG 32" TV that sits about 6' from the couch. Behind the couch is the set of stairs going up the second floor, hence the reason for going for 3.1. I really don't have the space to place rear speakers, maybe if there were wireless, and very small. I also need to keep it simple as my wife and mother in law are not techie in any way shape or form. We don't own a BD player yet, and it's under consideration to be upgraded. My wife just wants something that she can listen to music (CD's and radio). I want something that will cover all the basics of modern visual and sounds on a tight budget. So here is what I am planning: BluRay player: Sony BDP-S590 $100 on Amazon, and I have never seen any DVD player with some many reviews and still maintain a high star rating (4.5 stars with over 1000+ reviews). I like that this device is DNLA ready as I have a HDD on the network filled with music and movies (That I have bought ;-)) and would like to have access to them easily. Home Theater: Onkyo HT-S3500 $291 on Amazon with descent reviews. Like I said, I don't have a very big room to fill. I will most likely only connect front and center + SW. To this I would gook in my HD Comcast box, and using components my old PS2 (Yes I know....). So....what do you think? What would you recommend? Thanks for the feedback, Carlos
