After reading various threads in the HTIB forums, I realized that what I need is a Bluray-ready system. I currently own the Z-2300 and tired of its 2.1 sound. I need a 5.1 to take advantage of my PS3 / Bluray movies.
What are the best mid and high-end HTIB blu-ray ready? I dont really want to buy a HTIB with bluray player since ill be using my PS3 as my main one .
below is what I typed before reading through various threads
=================================================
I own a PS3, 50" G15 Viera (same as the G10 except slim version), and a Logitech 2.1 Z-2300.
I'm in need of a 5.1 setup.
After a bit of research, it seems like all the other quality speakers need a receiver. The noted product is the Samsung HT-BD1250 5.1 BluRay Home Theatre In A Box
First off, I already have a Blu-ray player. I specifically bought a PS3 to watch movies, not just any type of movies; Bluray movies to be specific. I only own one game for the PS3, MGS 4 and planning to own another game God of War 3. Thats it.
The only logical solutution is the Logitech Z-5500 5.1 Surround Sound Speakers. This does not include a receiver. It does include a Optical Fiber SPDIF Input. I can connect that to my G15 (which as a Optical Output).
The problem is that based on my research, the Z-5500 has the same exact quality as the Z-2300 except that it is 5.1 instead of a 2.1. This is a very BIG problem. I am going to be spending $400 on a speaker system that has the same exact quality as something I have (which is b-class) when I could be spending that money on something better like that Samsung.
The dilemma here is that by buying the Samsung, my PS3 is pretty much obsolete. Sure I have some games for it but again my PS3's main purpose was to watch Bluray movies.
Any tips or ideas?
