Sony DAV-HDX589W Theater System

$375.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
(if you have an older tv, run it through another dvd or vcr/dvd combo if you have one..if you get stuck.) otherwise, sound effects from movies are very good.
from www.amazon.com
the sound is very smooth and crisp, and it has enough power for the action packed movies when needed.
from www.amazon.com
if i were to change anything about it i would make it a bit more powerful (great w/ movies like braveheart, though not as strong w/ tv) and i would make the speaker wires a bit longer.
from www.amazon.com
i can receive 5 hours of audio or movies without having to reload.
from www.amazon.com
if you have room mates and can't be blasting games or movies at night the amp has the ability for head phones.

and with blue ray it is even better.it is a very good system for a small to mid size room for the money.
from www.amazon.com
i was amazed when the first movie i watched with this system tricked me into thinking there was lightning outside, when it was coming from the surround speakers!
from www.amazon.com
i was also looking for a system that did not include a dvd player as i want to upgrade to a blue-ray player later on.
from www.amazon.com
why buy a surround system with an outdated dvd player when blu-ray is already taking over anyway?
from www.amazon.com
it sounds pretty decent and has more than enough inputs for me to route my hd dvr and a dvd player with hdmi output (later to be replaced with blu-ray).
