Lets talk money for sound,
For $1,500 you can get a good sounding 6speaker & electronics rig.
I'm talking players separate for now. This would be a receiver, for routing , processing, and amplification. 5 Speakers for L/R/ and center W/ 2 Surrounds, and a powered Subwoofer.
For $4-$6000. you can get Excellant performance at any volume and pristine processing. This, by the way, is MY range. Getting the 2nd tier of the brands rated the finest in the world.
For $10,ooo you are at STATE OF THE ART. Nothing this painter could ever even get at sniff at but I have listened to these for hours, wonderfull, wonderfull stuff.
For beyond that, There are mono-block amps that cost 20K, who knows, I'm sure thier owners are very happy.
For the $800-$1,500. range, systems are good at lower volume and modest dynamics but strain when put to the T3 test video. See my first responce from Jim and his under $15oo system.
Finally , the worst thing you can do is get a new HDTV big screen and shortchange the sound with an under 1k sound system. Now for your K-mart 5.1 ...............UPGRADE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
