Frank_M, can you tell me how big your basement is? Our living room is ~ 20 x 15 and this is the primary setup I'm contemplating right now:
* HTB-505
------------------
Total = ~$500 with new wiring
OR
* JBL NSP1 (Did you see the NSP1 IIs? I see no difference in specs between the series I and series II, but there is a substantial difference in price)
Price: $240 shipped at Buy.com with $10 off coupon
* Pioneer VSX-D711 (5 x 100W / DPLII / DD / DTS)
* Sony SA-WM40 12", 120 Watt Sub (will probably stuff it with poly fill)
Price: The receiver and sub are a combined $420.89 shipped at Etronics.com
------------------
Total: $660.89 + wiring = ~$750
Can the "value" of any solution be influenced by room size? With such a small living room, will I REALLY notice a difference between the separates and the HTB-505? The difference in cost between the solutions is a whopping 50%!
