*CHEAP* 6 Piece Surround Set

I'm looking for a decent cheap 5.1 surround sound package. Something around $200. I know I should spend more but the fact is I am getting married and I need to save. This will eventualy be something that will be setup in a guest bedroom too later.

Please offer ideas

There are a few low end speaker packages for under $200 if you shop around online at the major etailers. You can also get a decent surround receiver for $200 at most electronics places like Circuit City or Best Buy. However, you will probably not find both together, for $200; and if you did, you would probably not enjoy the sound coming out of them.

This Cerwin Vega system is nice and it's about $280 at Best Buy, unless it's on sale and if you're lucky and have a BB card, it may qualify for 6 month or 18 month No Interest promo they always run.

From what I have heard the JBL N24 are great for their price, about 50-80 a pair depending on where. Then Sony sells a sub (SAW-10????) so with 2 pair of the N24 a single N24 and the sony sub you could come in aroun 200 and Have a pretty good sounding system
