What's the best home theater surround sound system?

Bose is overpriced garbage, This totaly depends on your Budget, but for cheap HTIB systems Onkyo, Yamaha, and Pioneer all have decent Offerings altho I think Onkyo has the best price / performance for entery level HTIB systems.
 
I'll take two Danley DTS-20, two Community SBS12, and seven Community SLS920. Then you can all come over and watch Armageddon at 130dB. If it's a big room, I'd step up to Community SLS960 across the front three channels and SBS22 for the two front channels.

That's my Cost No Object solution.

(Boiler Up!)
 
Denon makes incredible recievers, but you have to pay. I have several Onkyo 2 channels in my parent's house for running speakers throughout the house, and they drive big heavy floor standing speakers VERY well.

I currently have a Sony (puke) that I use for my ghetto home theater. I Got such a good deal though... a 27" TV with S-Video, a 5 disc DVD changer, the sony reciever which is a 6.1, with 100wrms per channel, a new VCR, and 3 speakers, with remotes and wires... for $120 😀

Anyway, the Sony is pretty good, nothing special. The 2 bose speakers, and sony center channel it came with sound pretty darned good, and I added some crappy old Fisher speakers I had for my surround speakers. It sounds remarkably good overal for DVD-Audio, the biggest problem being lack of subwoofer, which I hope to remedy as soon as i get some $ saved up 🙂 But hey, I've got my promedias, so who am I to complain...

That 5 disc changer came with 5.1 analog outs?
 
I got a samsung plasma widescreen for father's day, and i think the built-in sound doesn't do it justice. So my price range is 1k or less right now.

EDIT: yea, i put that bose question in there to prove a friend wrong. Thanks AT.

i prefer onkyo speakers for the money or yamaha or jbl. my personal choice and favs.

I should have been clearer. I connect it to my amp with a digital coaxial cable. I am actually listening to the 5.1 AC3 track on the DVD-Audio disc, not the 24/96 PCM, as my DVD player doesn't handle true DVD audio. My computer does though..
