Hi,
I've been trying to determine the best HTIB system for a 12' x 16' foot family room located in the basement. I have a Panny TH-PZ85u located on the long wall (16') just a few feet from the corner. I also have a Philips HD-DVR and a Wii. I did wire the room to handle 2 or 3 speakers behind the sofa.
I don't need much because we don't watch a lot of movies, but I've been seeing more 7.1 systems than 5.1 and wondered if 7.1 would be too much for the space. I've seen a refurbed Onkyo HT-4100 with iPod dock for $250. Is something like this worth it...I don't think it has HDMI capabilities. Both the tv and DVR have HDMI inputs and outputs.
Any thoughts?? My budget....between $200-500...like I said we don't watch much, but I would like some good sound when we do. I don't have an audio system down there currently.
Thanks,
Gary
