[QUOTE="desertheat, post: 883349, member: 557169"] Well I was in search of a good home theatre setup that would not break my budget. I wanted looks, and real sound, not sound from one of those micro speaker sets, I wanted the real deal. The room is about 18x18. Here is my equipment so far. It actually sounds awsome!
