Recommendation for 3.1 setup

You have plenty of good options to choose from for $1000. I just will list a few combinations that I think you might like. You can search this forum and get other great ideas on what you are looking for. Some of these options that I will list go a tad bit over $1000, but you could switch any of the combinations together I list below to make it less than $1000 total. Also remember that the sub is a very integral part of the HT setup, so I would highly recommended that you get a sub for your HT setup.

Option 1:


Athena WS-60: $180 (Very aesthically pleasing set with a very good sound quality to boot)

JVC RX-D702B: $600 ( I think this HDMI upconversion digital A/V receiver would work great with your Samsung HL-R6167W)

Mirage Omni S10 Sub: $250 (Probably the best bang for your buck quality 10" sub available; very compact compared to other 10" subs)

Mirage S12 : $400

Option 4:


Denon S-101: $899 (The minimalist approach to your HTIB setup; IMO, the best virtual surround sound system on the market right now for less than $1000. Go try it out at Best Buy, and I think you will agree with me once you heard it and see all the features that the S-101 has that it's a better value overall in features and sound quality compared to the KEF KIT 100 and the Bose 3-2-1 Series II HTIB virtual surround sound models)
