looking for a receiver too or just speakers?

Another good bang-for-the-buck 5.1 sustem is the Boston Acoustiss MCS 100 available on Amazon.com for about $350. It has a sicnal-sensing subwoofer complete with cable.
My daughter has this system and is very pleased with it. You would get a good deal of mileage here before you need to upgrade!

Nothing. Can i recommend saving another 50 bucks and getting an Onkyo 605 7.1 receiver?

I have a Samsung ht-x50. it's one of those all in one upconvert DVD players/receiver, but the sound is amazing for something that only cost $250! Subwoofer kicks hard. it has an optical input, and HDMI out. I highly recommend it for the budget minded consumer.

I think you should save up more money to get a better surround sound system then the ones you can get for $300...

Stick with this because you'll need hdmi audio (trust me). If not, see if you can find one of those old Panasonic home theater in a box (one that has DVD-Audio capability) because at least they will have some decent digital audio converters (dac's) for the price.

if including the receiver, i would check out

(for about $450 i have seen) http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665238643

(under $399)http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...52921665186457

they both do 1080p upscaling, and 3 HDMI input

If you are looking just for a speaker package, it's hard to go past the Harman/Kardon HKTS-18 (more like $550 though) THIS IS WHAT YOU REALLY SHOULD GET (maybe with an Onkyo 605 or 705 receiver)

Keep saving and buy something you'll enjoy, spending an extra 200-300 dollars could make quite a difference. My experience with cheap systems is they just sound like crap. Good luck in your search.

Lets say i can spend like 600$. Give me some ideas and set me up.

i wouldnt be bragging about smoking dope buddy

Keep saving, wait awhile, that's my advice. I felt I couldn't wait, too, but later wished I had just done the right thing from the beginning. Find a way to get a receiver with HDMI for the best of blu-ray sound (uncompressed PCM, TrueHD, etc). Onkyo 605 at the least, some here will say wait til you can afford the 705.

I have this same Polk system and am pretty happy with it. Especially compared to the TV speakers. I bought the speakers on-line for around $250. If I decide to upgrade I am sure I can unload these pretty easily and get most of my money back. I also recommend buying the speaker wire and brackets through an Amazon online retailer. The accessories is where BB and CC kill you.

Getting married and having a kid changed my life quite a bit (I'm still no Saint by any means), but the $400 ounces are a thing of the past..... my wife and kid cost me more money than I can possibly count!! but they're worth every penny. If you're buying a LOT of blu-rays, it might be a good Idea to get Netflix, and rent Blus, and use the money you're saving to get a new system..... be careful, there's a thing called "Upgrade-itis" once you catch the bug, it's tough to shake. I had to explain a $8,000 month to the wife..... I'll be folding laundry well into my 90's !!!!!

You can't go wrong with Onkyo. If I had $600 to spend, I would go with 605 and the SKS HT540 speaker rig. Not audiophile, but my rig sounds pretty nice for the cash spent.
