Why not get the polk RM6750's $200 about, and a receiver like the Sony 820 or Onkyo 606 that keeps you well below budget ($485 or $456, respecitvely) and is better then an HTiB. Or you can go the route I did and get Sony speakers, CN5000, B1000, F5000 and a Reciever and still be under budget... I sit 6.5 ft from my tv. You can choose whether or not you want to be blown away.

CN5000 $114 amazon
B1000 $65 " "
F5000 $143 " "
SA-w2500 $99 " "

Onkyo 606 $256 (ask driver king, I think ecost.com) Total $677
Sony 820 $285 (Amazon.com) Total $706

Just my $.02

I said it sounds pretty nice, I didn't say 'FANTASTIC' it is a HTiB. I'm not sure which one you have, but mine was 400 watts or something like that.

I'm really saying don't throw your money away on that sound bar.

If I were you, I would try and get a receiver and sub now and use your current speakers(with the volume not to high) until you save again to buy some real speakers.

That way, atleast you will have HD sound. The speaker's that came with the HTiB wasn't that bad, just the receiver was nothing special.

Well, let's seee. What is the model number for your RCA.
Honestly you should have seen my eyes and what I heard when I connected the RCA's to the 605 and played a PCM blu-ray movie.

I was expecting to hear POP... POP.. FEEZZZZ on atleast one of them.

To hear how clear the sound was, I knew I was getting into a good thing.

I ended up taking back the 605 and getting a 805 as you can see from my sig.
