Hi all-
So here's the deal. We have an old Sony Home Theater setup for our main room, and it's all right; it gets the job done.
I have a 27inch Sony TV in my room, not too shabby, and I am moving up all the game systems out of the main room. I can't live with out Dolby Digital on Halo, it hurts too much to even think about it.
Originally I wanted to spend $300 and get a Home Theater in a Box, but I am confused as to what is good at that price and where to shop. Preferably I'd like it to have a decent receiver so that I can upgrade the speakers (maybe to JBL NSP1 in the future?). What should I do? If I am going to have to spend $500 to get something good now, should I just grab the JBL NSP1's and a Yamaha 5540? I've heard people throwing around the Kenwood HTB504, but I can't seem to find it for less than $450-$500. I would love S-Video inputs.
thanks,
geoffrey
