    Default Picked up a new Surround Sound

    SO my old Phillips Surround sound , that i bought for $100 on black friday 2 years ago, finally the subwoofer blew. I have a small room and i rent so i wasnt going to go buy some expensive ass surround sound system that can cost upwards of $3000 for what i really want. I just wanted a home theatre in a box that sounded good.

    This is what i settled on:








    WIRELESS REAR SPEAKERS BEYOTCH




    Samsung 512 1200 Watts, DUal SUbwoofer 5.1 HDMI yada yada yada

    So far it sounds incredible, I did the transformers test, and it passed with flying colors

    nice setup... i don't care what people say about home theaters in the box... its easy and cheap and some are awesome sounding.

    i'm still rocking an older Philips system; 5.1 in 2.1 setup - hdmi, 1080i upconvert, etc... sick as system and it is dirt cheap online now

    They have it at SAMs CLuB for $440 IIRC

    http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DAV-HDX67.../dp/B001BCFS4Y


    Sony DAV-HDX678WF Bravia 1000 Watt 5 Disc DVD/CD Home Theater System with Multi-room Wireless Technology, Wireless Rear Speakers and iPod Cradle


    I like the look of the SAMSUNG and it matches my TV so thats why i went with it but the SONY sounded just as good

    as much as i hate shopping there, Best BUy. IT was a good price compared to online (ebay has them for $375 with free shipping so the savings were only like $40)

    On items like this i like to buy from a store so if there is any problems i can return it or exchange it without having to worry about shipping, etc
