westvirginia Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) I just upgraded to HD, got a 32" Samsung LCD and a blu-ray. I want a home theater in a box. I don't have a ton to spend, just something with more bass and depth than the TV speakers. Of course it has to be able to have the HDMI stuff. It doean't have to be killer, just a decent system and fairly cheap. ETA: Thanks in advance guys. Edited May 2, 2009 by westvirginia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Dick Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 (edited) Look at the Samsung systems. I believe they sell a combo, and at least your remotes would match up. Edit to add: the Samsung LCD's are nice. I was real close to getting one, but changed my mind at the last minute.

That refurbished system is a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Cid Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I know that both Onkyo and Yamaha put out pretty decent HTiB. The weakness of both systems will be the speakers but I doubt that you'll notice. As always with home electronics, please go listen to a system first, preferably with a couple of DVDs that you are very familiar with. Listen not just for explosions and stuff like that, but for sections where the audio goes from loud to soft and vice versa very quickly. This wil gve you an indication of how the system handles the dynamic portions of a soundtrack. Soft, whispered conversations can also be tough on systems.

tbimm Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I also have the Onkyo system and have been very happy with it. I am not the best judge of sound as I don't hear very well but everyone I have had over to watch movies has been impressed with the setup.

darin3 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I know that both Onkyo and Yamaha put out pretty decent HTiB. The two names I was going to mention. I have a pretty solid Yamaha system. No real complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
