| Re: Help! HT 2.1 System Suggestions?
Unless you really hate the feel of $100 bills in your pocket, avoid the Bose.
Rather than suggest a specific HTIB, I'll offer these guidelines:
Look for a system that comes with a separate AVR so that you can ditch the speakers down the road (speakers are usualy the weakest part of a HTIB)
If that AVR has HDMI 1.1 or better input (not just passthrough, but actually uses the HDMI for audio), all the better to listen to Dolby TrueHD.
Strongly consider separates. For the price of that $1000 Bose system, you could get an Onkyo 705 from Circuit City, Pair of Infinity Beta Floor standers off ebay, and an X-sub from AV123. This will tear apart most 2.1 HTIBs.
