Assuming you need 5 speakers for surround-sound, subwoofer and receiver I would say go with (4) Paradigm Atoms, (1) Paradigm CC-170 center channel, a Paradigm PDR-10 subwoofer and a Yamaha RXV-1400 receiver. This is a very good quality, basic system that will sound superior to any BOSE system you might find at the local furniture mart. Plus you should come in below your stated spending limit. Good Luck!!!

Ok, i have been lurking only for a short time to fully understand how absolutly little I know about audio components.
I have attempted to research products via this site and others to attempt to find the best possible set up for my "allowance" as she says.
My current equipment - Sony 46" 16x9 rear projection, Sony DVP-NS715P DVD player, COMCASTS HDTV box.
My needs: Receiver, Amplifier (dont know if necesary), and Speakers
How I currenlty use my system: Almost 100% for movies/tv but want to move to music as well and remove the "boom box" CD player we have. (I know utterly sad)
My original thought was to go 100% Sony with but after some research and no real talk of sony I came here.
PLEASE HELP!!!
