I've seen receivers closeouts on various places on the net for $200-$250, SoundCity.com had a JVC receiver I think for $250, probably had DPL at least. Then scour your local electronics megachain for closeouts and sales. You can probably find some decent Infinity, AR, JBL, kind of bookshelf speakers for $250. Check out www.jandr.com or www.soundcity.com they tend to have decent prices and/or closeout items...

How Bout this, buy the cheapest decent reciever that you can find. Then visit madisound and buy 5 of their Sledgehammer coax speakers (around $37) and make/buy small sealed enclosuers for them. If That doesnt float your boat then go to rat shack and get some of there small bookshelf speakers on the cheap, they have pretty decent bass, way beter than most tv's. Just hope that the bug doesnt bite you, or youll be wasting money on small fish, when the bigger shark is out there! If you really want to have some fun try to maker your own loudspeakers Heres a link for some that cost ~140 a pair, lots of fun, and better sound than you'd think. Later
Speaking of cheap, theres a reallllyy cheap Teac integrated amp (30WPC/8ohms or 80WPC/4 ohms) that is going for $200 in jandr.com. then
you can find any $300 set of towers or bookshelfs, assuming you don't need the tuner. Probably better than your TV speakers though!
