What is a decentsound system equipment for under $500?


Question: Receiver, Speakers?
Answers: There are many factors to consider. Channel rating (5.1, 6.1 or 7.1). This is the number of speakers not counting the subwoofer. The output power is important, the larger the room the more power you'll want. And if you want a built in DVD player (I don't suggest it, if it breaks out of the warranty period you risk the repair cost exceeding what a free standing DVD player costs). The best value I've seen in your price range is the Onkyo HT-S 780. It is 7.1ch w/770 watts and a 220 watt sub. It's on sale this week at Circuit City. Reg $499.99 Sale on web $399.99. See www.circuitcity.com. Another good candidate in this price range is the Yamaha YHT-450. It is a 6.1ch system and packs 600 watts with a 100 watt sub. You can find this one at Best buy for $479.99, www.bestbuy.com. Another important factor is inputs and outputs, where you hook up external components. Both are well equipped for their price range.

Hope this is helpful.
Sony Makes one that is 100 watts with a great receiver surround sound and subwoofer. It was only $219. If you get the DVD player with it, it sounds ever better.
