Budget Home Theater ideas

Report back with your thoughts once you get everything set up.

Did you buy speaker wire already?

I have my computer in another room hooked up to my receiver with a digital coaxial cable for sending audio.
You can get fancier if you want, but this works fine for my purposes.

Some people use their DVD player / Blu-ray player as their CD player. Some people (who have spent a lot on their system and feel that the quality of their disc player is the limiting factor) end up buying a dedicated CD player.

Based on where your system is now, I'd say you probably want to get a blu-ray player that does everything.

Thanks Yoyo. I haven't bought speaker wire, component or coaxial cables yet. Do you have any suggestions of where to buy them?

Thanks for the disc player advice. I haven't started researching what would be a decent player. Perhaps a refurb may work well in my situation...

I do hope I like the Onkyo. I will definitely let you know how it sounds whenever I get it setup.

kazaam, Amazon still has the Onkyo for $317 if you decide that's what you want.

Monoprice cables work just fine and they're very affordable.

New blu-ray players are getting pretty darn affordable too now.
