Need some insight

[spudd4242]

Hey all, i found out today by mistake that my parentals purchased this HTiB for me http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...theater+system

Now what im asking is, is this the best bang for the buck based on what i already have which is just my tv, ps3, and xbox 360, the mom told me if i wanted a different one it could be done, so just looking for some insight, as far as i'm concerned it seems pretty nice and has everything i could need, but if someone can find something that's the same price or less that's better than lemme see

why did u ruin the surprise? I had a more entrly level yamaha system and it was pretty descent for the price. This one your getting should be a lot better than what i had. The sub is great for not spending alot

i didn't really ruin any surprise, i had no idea it was coming, but when it was delivered this am, it was in it's store box covered in what was inside the box, but will i be able to upgrade the speakers and such as i go, i don't know the most about this, it was kinda their idea, which is awesome but i wanna be able to build up the the reciever as i get more funds with better speakers

Yes, that system will probably be OK for your needs. The speakers can be upgraded, too. Some drawbacks I see is that it only has 2 HDMI inputs and NO component inputs and NO digital audio inputs ( coaxial/optical ), so you'll be limited to only 2 input devices. You didn't mention what your TV signal input is - cable, satellite, OTA, etc. If you're using a set top box, you'll have to make a decision as to WHICH 2 of your 3 components you want to hook into the receiver's HDMI connections. Personally, I would go with an Onkyo HT-S6200, if that's an option for you. It is similar in price, but has 4 HDMI inputs, 2 component inputs, 4 digital audio inputs, and several features not found on the Yamaha, including 130 watts per channel x 7 channels and a 290 watt sub. If not, I would suggest the next Yamaha system in their lineup, the YHT-791. Sears has it in stock, as well. It is more expensive, of course, but offers 4 HDMI inputs, as well as component inputs.
