RE: Need acceptable, cheap TV sound

Probably not a bad suggestion. I really do mean to go just stereo for now, though, and I wonder if given that I've already got a couple of decent passive speakers to work with I might not do better to get this:

recently divorced from their apparently overpriced ($1200) htib. I'm under no illusion that the cheese factor on this is particularly lower than the Insignia product (BA is a speaker company, and I'm sure they just went to China and said "Brand us up a box to sell with these speakers"), but since they do sell the speakers separately, the amps in this box ought to be flat - so I should be able to fit almost any speakers I want on there in the future. I'm leaning in that direction, anyway, but am still listening. Thanks for the reply.
