Home Theater
redsoxbebe asked:


My boyfriend just bought a plasma TV and I’d like to buy him an home theater system but I don’t have a clue where to begin. I’ve been trying to research online but it seems like there’s so many details to figure out - how many watts do I need, do I need a new DVD player with it, do I want to buy it piece by piece or HTIB? Ahhh. I’d like to spend somewhere around $200, max $300 but I don’t know if this is realistic for a good system and don’t want to get him a cruddy one just for the sake of getting one. I know he’s really interested in the ones that have a rear wireless speaker - and I don’t know too much more than that. Anyone knowledgeable out there with some good recommendations, a place I should begin my research or willing to have some dialouge with me about the best systems and what I should look for? I think I’ll eventually go to CC or BB but I’d like to be armed with some info first. Thanks ahead of time for your help!

  1. The speakers with this system will spend lot more than your desired amount and many more decoding features to give great sound there are concerned about that heres few other things hooked up as 51 or 71 depending on room size have unusable pieces sitting.

  5. The 399 onkyo system mentioned above sounds pretty good but completely disagree with that cost 10 times more statement even cheap htib system mentioned above sounds pretty limited in what you can get the built in speakers on the 399 onkyo system mentioned above sounds pretty good but.

  6. Go to
    or call them at 1-888-955-6000
    They are more helpful and knowledgeable than the “CC” or “BB” people.

    Like some of the previous answerers, I also recomend the ONKYO HT-S790
    It is currently $379 at Circuitcity.
