In Reply to: Serious Question, really inexpensive home theater system needed! posted by Steve L. on May 17, 2003 at 21:07:33:
I'd suggest visiting audiogon for better quality but used equip. You can easily get items at 50% off retail so the 600 dollar budget will get much more for the money. It takes a bit more time and effort, but it'll provide much more value that a Best Buy theater in a crock approach.Look for older models such as the Kenwood Stage 3 (doesn't have dts but does have DD) that can be had for a song or perhaps a more recent model (say, last year's) of Denon receiver. Put these with a modest set of speakers (e.g., Atlantis) and some basic speaker wire and you are set. AND, this system won't sound as if it is all from the same large cardboard box.
As a reviewer, you should know about buying from the used market and so it would take some of the mystery out of it for your brother. Believe me, my brother did the circuit city bose in a box approach with Sony receiver (because his tv is sony and he only wanted 1 remote...really, this was his logic) and it sounds like it -- very disappointing considering he paid retail and did not get value for money.
good luck.
