A great picture can make marginal audio bearable, but good audio can do nothing for a lousy picture.Good DVD players are $100-125 bucks these days, and I've seen decent A/V receivers (Yamaha, Pioneer and JLB models in both 5.1 AND 6.1) for as little as $225-250 on eCost.
I think there are better buys for your buck than Cambridge, including Paradigm's Cinema series, Energy's Take 2, and (my personal low-budget favorite, excellent quality for the $$$) JBL's NSP-1 set.
With component prices coming down, cheap Chinese manufacturing costs, and a weak consumer economy, it's a buyer's market right now.
