I have no experience when it comes to home theater setups, but just ordered a HDTV for my parents and now I'm looking to get a surround system to pair with it. Budget is $400 for sound system. It doesn't matter if it's a home theater in a box or separate receiver/speaker setup, I just want to get the best bang for the buck, and want everything to get here by next week if I order it tomorrow (I have Amazon Prime, so anything from Amazon with Prime shipping is a plus).
I have about $350 reserved for a dedicated Blu-ray player, PS3, or possibly a HTPC (I've got a spare HTPC case already) - haven't decided yet on which route to go for Blu-ray playback.
The room is 22 x 18 feet, pretty much empty at the moment.
Any recommendations on 5.1 or 7.1 set that fits my budget and would work well for movies, music, video games, etc.?
TV is this.
