HTIB will not sound as good as if you build the system yourself. As most people are often told, buy piece by piece and you will be happier in the end. Start out with the front three and receiver, next sub and surrounds. That's what i am doing and am quite content thus far.

And if you absolutely must get HTIB, I have heard many good things about the Polk RM6750 paired with an Onkyo receiver. Most people who get HTIB, however, feel the need to upgrade very quickly.

Either your newb or you settle too quickly! lol

I (as many others) upgrade all the time... this hobby quickly turns into a disease

For me it goes in cycles... new TV... new receiver... updated speakers... stand alone BD player... new satalite box... front projection TV... seperate amp... more subs... better furniture... What did I forget??? lol

I do agree tho, It's better to attempt to do it right the first time... then you get whats called the "upgrade bug"
