Sound / Home Theatre Systems

Depending on how you want to budget yourself, I would recommend this in the $300 range.

Onkyo HT-S5400 ($300):

While it is a home theater in a box, unlike most companies Onkyo actually pairs a proper receiver with the speakers/powered subwoofer.

Though an alternative is to purchase a quality 2.0 or 2.1 system and slowly upgrade from there.

Would the 4 small speakers be easy to mount up in the 4 corners of my room?whoizit

The layout would be like this:

As far as mounting is concerned, they'll be easy to mount.

I've had home theatre systems for the last 18 years or so. I would suggest doing the research and spending around a thousand dollars or moreon a nice receiver. I have aYamaha.This may seem like a huge chunk of cash, but look at it this way: A receiver should last you years. My first receiver lasted me about 8 years and I finally upgraded (it didn't give out). So I would invest in something you will love for a long time. Yes new tech comes out, but listen unless you have gobs of money to spend NO ONE upgrades their home theatre system very often unless it's a wanky out of the box jobby. My advice: Bite the bullet and save. I have seven Paradigm speakers that have lasted me forever. Make sure the speakers you get are worthy of your system. Afterall, you could get a great receiver and have crappy speakers then it's all for nought. My Paradigms ran me a few hundred bucks each. One of the big things with speakers: Make sure what encircles the driver (round speaker part) is a rubber and not a paper/styrofoam make. The rubber will last and not crack = LONG speaker life. This is one of those things where you shouldn't skimp. Save my friend save your money. There's nothing better than a kickbutt home system. You'll be glad you waited :)
