Alecia Kaehler: "Got to be kidding" is right... I think, actually I'm not sure what that's about.Nothing strange about it, almost anything is better than Bose. The "name" is only good among the uninformed mass public. Among the audio community Bose is a big Joke.Generally you want to avoid Home Theatre "Systems". These HTiB systems are very poor quality and if one part breaks the whole thing becomes trash for the landfill. You're best bet would be to start with a decent AVR from Onkyo and what ever speakers you can find at a Goodwill store or what ever so you can stay in your $300 price range. Basically spend it all on the AVR. Next start saving for speakers and upgrade over time. You just can't get a complete system all for that price that is any good at all. mk...Show more
Booker Warlick: It's tough to get under $300 for a quality system. Speakers are probably the problem here, because it's hard to get a quality 5.1 speaker system (5 speakers and a powere! d subwoofer) for $300 let alone a full system.I like Yamaha's Home Theater in a Box systems, because they use a real Yamaha receiver (a bottom of the line one, but Yamaha is well known for the quality of their receiver electronics.)They are going to include speakers that will do the job, and are probably quite fair for the price you are paying. They will involve compromises, but you must expect this at the price. If someone asked what the minimum system I would recommend, I would be suggesting speakers+sub alone costing around $1000. Not because I want people to waste money, but because I feel that's what it takes for a setup most people would be happy with. I understand that not everyone places the same value on high fidelity sound that I do. Here's an example of what I mean for the Yamaha HTIB systems-http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-YHT-395BL-Complete-5-......Show more
