I have a big screen TV and DVD player and I am looking to buy a low price home theater in a box, preferrably under $300. I know that is cheap, but its for a small room and I don't need anything that is going to blow the roof off, I just want to be able to experience surround sound from many of the DVDs I have. Plus I no longer have a way to listen to CDs since my CD player died. So I want a low price receiver/6 speaker package, but I don't know if there a decent ones for under $300.
I know I need DTS/Dolby Digital but I'm not sure about the minimum amount of watts I should look for in the entire system, and for each speaker. I have found the following packages for under $300 and would like some opinions on them:
Toshiba SD-43HT (DD/DTS, 350 Total watts/70 watt subwoofer) $199
Panasonic SC-HT650 (DD/DTS, 360 watts) $280
Sony HTDDW750 (DD/DTS, 500? watts/75 watt subwoofer, Digital inputs) $299
Does anyone know of any major problems with systems similar to these? Are they worth the low price?
