I know that there are lots of similar threads, so, my bad if there's one that is strikingly similar to this somewhere.
I'm moving into a new place for my last year or two in college, and I'm looking for a new HTIB. I kind of have it narrowed down to:
Denon DHT-391XP
http://www.amazon.com/Denon-DHT-391X...ef=pd_sim_e_17
Onkyo HT-S3400 or HT-S3300... which seem to be roughly the same price depending on which is on sale on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-HT-S3400...2081360&sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.com/Onkyo-HT-S3300.../ref=pd_cp_e_1
I'm not looking to go over the $400 mark, and not especially looking to mix and match receiver/speakers, unless there is something that is CONSIDERABLY better at the same price. My room is pretty small, so I'm not interested in going 7.1, and I plan on upgrading in a few years when I'm done with school and have a new place. I will only be hooking up my ps3, so a built-in dvd or blu-ray is totally unnecessary. I know that these have some inferior qualities that you don't exactly want when buying a new system, but I'm just looking for straight up sound quality for music and movies for the next two years... solid bass would be nice too, but I think these all will be good enough in that area for my needs in the short run.
Any input on which is better, or similar products at a similar price? If I'm basically just splitting hairs here, let me know, and I'll just buy whatever I can get a better deal on over the next month. Thanks guys.
