In Reply to: Serious Question, really inexpensive home theater system needed! posted by Steve L. on May 17, 2003 at 21:07:33:
After a long talk with my brother, and having him do some additional research, he has upped his budget for the system to "under $1000" and probably about $700 to $800. Remember this is for a HT reciever and speakers and cables only. He has DVD player, CD player and turntable that he intends to keep. He found a Sony STR-DE 695 HT reciever that he liked, but still wants more advice. At least he recognized for himself that Bose was not so hot! Two of the first three shops he stopped at kept insisted that they were the best!Thanks!

I don't think you can really beat the sound quality and value of the JBL NSP-1 system. I use the N-24's as rear surrounds and have heard the N-26's, and they are quite good *for the money*. The best part is, mounting brackets are integral so no extra $$$ there.Street price including tax (if any) & delivery is around $300-325.
Then for about $150, I would add this Sony sub, well regarded as an excellent value for its price:

That would leave around $250-300 for a receiver, which should buy a decent unit. Panasonic, Denon, and Yamaha all sell entry-level 5.1 Dolby Digital/DTS models in this price range.
As for cabling, just buy the decent stuff @ Radio Shack or Home Depot, which will be fine for this level of equipment.
