Need help picking a HTiB
Ok, a little backgroung infomation: This would be my first home theater, although I have had a DVD player for 3 years.
I only have $200 right now, and if I could get anything half-way decent it would be great. I could probably go up to $300 if I needed to. Like I said I already have a dvd player, and I wouldn't mind sticking with it if only having to get a receiver lower the price. To tell the truth, I feel abit loyal to it, so not having a dvd player might be a plus
As said above it would be my first, so it doesn't have to have many features or anything, just a basic, quality system.
I went to walmart and checked some of their's out and here's what I found:
Durabrand Home theater System- $100 (probably to low of quality even for me.
Sanyo DWM-2500 $188
Audiovox ST525 $140
Magnavox MRD 20037 $148
RCA RT 2360- $199
Those are just the ones below $200.
So, what do you guys think of the ones listed above? What other cheap-but-quality systems are out there?
Thanks for your help in advance!

6ave.com has the Kenwood HTB505 on sale for $229. I'm not sure how much the shipping would be, but either way I don't think you'll find anything better for under $300.

If you don't mind getting a refurbished unit, from the manufacturer, you can get an HTS650 Onkyo. You can go to Onkyo.com and purchase the HTS650 for $329.00. I've heard nothing but good things about this model. I'm saving up for one myself and I'll probably get this model as a starter Home Theater unit. Good luck.
