Here you go, the Verus Grand Tower XD 5.1 system from Aperion Audio. At about $3,000 it's considered one of the best entry-level home theater systems available by Stereophile.

Happy gaming,

Yes, entry level.

It's all relative.

At that price you should be able to find a nice set of Energy or Fluance speakers. I know the Energy sets have won many budget awards, and I've listened to some of their higher-end stuff, which is great. You could also go with one of the budget Klipsch sets, though I think the Energy speakers are probably a better value. If you're willing to spend a little more, Definitive Technology has a speaker set that I've heard first-hand that sounds great for the price, but it's about $800, give or take. Totally worth it if you've got a good receiver, though, and it'd be my personal sub-$1,000 pick for a home theater set. Good luck, Boz

Who the hell pays this much?

I doubt the monitors in most recording studios are that expensive, so how can anything be gained from having speakers that high quality?
