I currently have a cheap (but still decent) sound system, but I want to upgrade to something more with a little more clarity and just overall better sound. I was looking at the Sony DH700, DH800, and STR-DN1000 receivers. Any thoughts on which one is better or is better value? I do not think I have the room right now for a 7.1 setup, but future expansion might be nice.
Also, are there any speakers that are good value or are just crap? Anything less than $750 (combined receiver and speakers) would be nice, but any recommendation would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Here's a system that will vastly outperform anything under $2000:
SVS 5.1 compact surround system with SBS-01 mains and PB10-NSD subwoofer

Denon AVR-590 receiver

SVS makes amazing speakers, and their subwoofers are world-class. It's in a completely different league than mass-market systems. The Denon receiver has a microphone that automatically optimizes the sound for your room and speaker placement.
A lot more money than you mentioned, but you get what you pay for. This is about the least you can spend and still get true audiophile sound.

Stereo speakers to computer speakers?

I have two speakers that came from a stereo system that broke. They both have a max handling capacity of 5 watts, an impedence of 4 ohms, and the imput wires are simply positive/negative wires. Is that wattage additive or constant when concerned with building an amp? What type/size of transformer do I need to utilize? And after purchasing the necessary parts (please let me know if I miss any necessary components), specifically where in the circuit do I incorporate the various components? I hope this question isn't too taxing...
Answer
Sounds like a lot of work to get some old speakers to run with a computer. If the speakers are rated at 5watts, this would be their RMS value or constant wattage they can see for long periods of time. Without getting into too much detail with regards to sensitivity, 1w1m specs, etc. If the speakers are rated at 5watts I don't think they would be worth the effort just to plug them into your computer. Most computer speakers today run on a 25 -50 watt amplifier and costing around $50-100 and can produce some very high end sounds at your computer.
