I'm shopping around for some home theaters, and I have a few requests that I think you guys could help me out with. 1) I need a great subwoofer, like window-shattering bass. 2) Minimun of 5.1 surround. 3) Blu-ray player is a plus, but not a deal breaker. And if it's on Newegg, huge bonus too! Thanks!
Answer
None of the box systems come with great subwoofers.
Your best bet is to get a system with a full-sized receiver, self powered subwoofer and monitor-style speakers.
These systems are expandable so you can upgrade the sub later as interest/money permits.
You want to avoid the 'systems' with a skinny receiver and a built-in DVD/BluRay drive. These are glorified DVD players and wont let you hook up Cable/Sat/Xbox/PS3/iPod.. devices.
People who buy these crap-tastic systems then come here to whine about it works great for DVD's but ...how do I get TV sound or hook an Xbox up to it? Dont be one of those guys with buyers remorse.

Home Theater Systems?

I am looking for a nice home theater system that can be mounted on the walls in a medium sized room. I have owned surround sounds before and i dont want to go with something cheap. I have been searching for about six months now and i just cannot find the right one. I want something around the 300-800 price range. If someone knows of a good sounding system that can pair nicely with an hd tv I would greatly appreciate it! 5.1 or 7.1 is what i'm aiming for. Thanks!!
Answer
First off, you are going to be hard pressed to find a nice sounding 5.1 system for $800. You would probably be better served by saving a little bit more money and buying the front and center now, and adding in the surrounds and sub when you can afford them later. You will regret not putting the bulk of your money in the front\center speaker. That said, if you are dead set on buying now take a look at the Onix x-series speakers. Home Theater magazine reviewed them last year and gave them a 96/100 rating in the entry level category. These guys review equipment for a living, so if they say Onix makes nice speaker then I tend to believe them. You can get a complete 5.1. setup for around $800. They look really nice, and they apparently sound just as good. You should be able to mount them on the wall next to your LCD\Plasma.
