I need a decent HTIB ($300.00) thinking about a ONKYO HT-S3500

[BZN4LC4PON3]

I have a very high end gaming PC that has a really nice dedicated audio card and a bluray player. I am currently running a "klipsch promedia 2.1" speaker set on my PC. Tho it sounds fantastic I am obviously missing the 5.1 and I dont have a center so I am missing voice.

Here is what I want to do. I have $300.00 total and I want to get something better then what I got currently. I always shop at newegg so If you could suggest anything HTIB that is under $300.00

I live in an Apartment complex so I cant have a massive booming surround sound. I love clarity and just a hair of bass. Are any of these any good?

So far I have found the

ONKYO HT-S3500: $250.00

Onkyo makes a good HTIB setup. The one you posted looks good & reads the most important Codecs, DTS Master & Dolby True HD.

The price doesn't look to bad either for going in that direction for a sound system

I've used an Onkyo system before and I was happy with it.

Thanks guys. I kind of figured the ONKYO would be the best choice. I actually got to listen to this setup at someones house & I will admit its a fantastic setup IMO. I am not an Audiophile so I cant comment on others but this one was very loud, had great bass which was to much for my apartment and its crystal clear to me.

I own Onkyo S3500. It has a passive sub. But for a medium room it is enough.
If you want to upgrade the HT in future, go for another model.

The performance is very good, especially for movies, for a medium sized room. Feels like room is shaking while playing DTS/DD movies.
For music lovers, this is just average.

It has 4 HDMI input which you can't find in any HTiB @this price

I considered Yamaha YHT 196 and YHT 292 also. But the final choice was Onkyo S3500 as I often watch movies than listening music.
