Cheap 5.1 HT

[bennya7x]

First off, I'm going to say that I'm new to blu-ray. I don't know if home theater is the right wording, but I'm looking for a 5.1 set-up.

Could someone provide a recommendation on any budget HDMI home theater combos, or packages. Roughly around 500$ and under. Just something that works and decent quality for its price.

The HDTV's in a bit of a smaller room, if that would effect the type or size of speakers to get.

Just something that would give me the best "bang for my buck".

Thanks in advance.

I can second this recommendation. This is the exact setup that I have, and it sounds great in my small apartment. I really don't think you can beat it for ~$500. It is easily upgradable to 7.1, if you decide you want to go that route in the future.

I have the same speakers, and "similar" Receiver, but will be upgrading in the future to the 606 or above -- and my "theater" room is Not large at all, about 11'x13' and the speakers work fine. Just Recently I upgraded the Sub to the PSW10 (won off Ebay, great deal - $70 + $30 freight), and it def. is an Upgrade. The one with the RM6750 is decent enough but i've seen a lot of people with the same system who eventually upgrade to the PSW10 or something similar/larger to an extent. And i've read so much about the Monoprice cables that i'll prob. get them when I need to buy any in the future.

For the $500 you want to spend, the RM6750 you can prob. find for Under $300---look around, you will prob. get it for $200-250 maybe. Then you can get the Receiver you want for the rest and be all set! Good luck.
