answer:Check out Onkyo, Polk Audio or Samsung home theather systems at your favorite electronics store, they may have something in your budget that will suit your taste. Go to the home theater showroom and try them out yourself. Put them through the rigors of your viewing/listening habit/pleasure. You can even bring in your favorite bluray/dvd movie to make sure that you get what you’re looking for. JVC and JBL are also worth looking at.
