I have one model up from this (one where the satellites have a midrange and a tweeter) and its decent for the price, but it still doesn't seem to do well on the highs. A system with midranges only will be even worse. Also, the one I bought (from BestBuy) came with a combo progressive DVD/VCR too, all for under $400.
Onkyo TX-SR500
and the
Onkyo SKS-HT510
Its refurbed but I think a lot better then anything else you can get for the price range. I have teh same set and can't find anything wrong with it.

Kind of?
I'd also suggest avoiding them.
my parents have these, and for $200 they aren't THAT bad, the Pro Logic II is a nice feature on a unit of that price
At this point I would concentrate on putting a nice system together piece by piece. Maybe get a receiver and a pair of fronts, then add surrounds later.
No S-Video or Component inputs?? :frown: Sorry while I admittedly don't notice much of a difference between component and S-Video (mostly due in part to my Samsung not being enhanced or high definition) I notice a big difference between composite and s-video. If you have to go with a HTIB I'd go with something from Onkyo. Otherwise save up and buy individual parts like a receiver from Harman Kardon, NAD, Onkyo or Denon. Speakers from Paradigm, Klipsch, Definitive Technology, NFT Pro, etc.
People, People.
I live in an apartment. I don't need this awesome 3l337 stuff. The most I could crank it up is like 60 watts
before the neighbors stick nails in my cars tires.
I'm just running a Epson LCD projector with a 70X70 Screen. When I buy my house then I will get the THX stuff
I think this system is cool i heard it in person at circuit City. It sounded great.
See here the situation right now I am using a Norcent 1950 :frown:
It will be an improvement. Why all the SONY haters?

get the onkyo's. nuff said.
Probably because there are so many past Sony customers (like myself) that aren't great admirers of their product. I had a Sony STR-G3 and while it was a decent receiver my Harman Kardon AVR-230 is much better than any Sony product in its price range. I understand your situation I suppose but I notice a difference even at low volume.
