Suggestions on decent home theater system

[dartgande]

I've been doing a little research; however, I am unsure of as to what to purchase yet. I am considering buying a Playstation 3 for my blu-ray needs, and now I am wondering what kind of home theater set-up to go with. I currently have a 32 inch LCD Samsung, and perhaps a PS3 soon. I now would like suggestions on a good home theater system that is at or under $500. My television does have two hdmi ports, by the way.

Thanks in advance!

I've been looking at these thus far...any thoughts?

Thats awesome... I was going to spec that exact system to you. I actually gave that to my parents last year for Christmas. It is a great system for a home theater in a box. You'll be more than happy with it. Very clean and pretty accurate system. The receiver has excellent converters... I couldn't believe how good of a system it was for being HTIB.

Take it from me... i was shocked by this system as a sound engineer. Do it.

Thanks Crysalis. I will be ordering it soon, and I'm sure I'll be happy with it!

Good to hear. Post back if you need help setting it up... the receiver is a LITTLE goofy getting it to work with true surround, but once it does, its an excellent system.
