Looking for HTIB

Hey guys, my TV speakers died suddenly. I called the manufacturer and said SOL buy a new TV, and the place I bought it off of hasn't called back with an answer.
My criteria are that it's sorta small, and some sort of an upgradeable receiver. Thanks :beer:
 
I'm not really sure what's available for you.

What kind of options do you have? Onkyo makes decent ones as a rule of thumb. Have you taken a look at the HTIB area of AVSforum?

As an alternative to a HTIB option, you might think about just getting a pair of bookshelf speakers and a receiver to start and adding to it later?
 
The options are kinda limited, the best being a lower end Yamaha receiver and crappy speaker set. I'll check out the AVS forum though.
 
I'm in the market for a low budget HTIB as well. I finally decided on the Onkyo HT-SR600. It costs $250 US in a store that I found that doesnt object to shipping to Canada. I cant vouch for the place because I just told a relative that was heading down there to pick it up from Circuit City on the way back, (for 270$ i think).

This is only good if you are willing to purchase from the US. Its a ripoff in Canada where the cheapest I found it was $550 CAD.

Gotta love CAD1.00=1.02USD 🙂
 
My advice is to stay away from HTIBs. Get a nice solid Yamaha reciever and some Minimus 7's or a Cambridge Ensemble set off eBay, and you'll be much happier.
