That's how I started, orginally with a Samsung dvd htib in 2009, then started getting the urge for more "sound" etc; read so much til I was totally confused & finally settled on a reconditioned Onkyo HT-RC180 ($349) from accessories4less & for speakers had no clue what to get, & just decided to get Mordaunt-Short Carnival 2 bookshelf speakers ($299) to start with & a center ($99). Sub was the BIC F12 & for a while it was enuff, but not for more than a year lol. Altho the MS speakers were good enuff for beginning, I soon discovered they lacked so I then upgraded to Polk Monitor Series, 70s for fronts & surrounds & 40s for wides & a CS2 center & then after reading so much on the sub forum, knew it was time to dump the F12 & wanted Rythmik but they were out of stock so went with HSU & haven't looked back since. Then I started eyeing the beautiful cherry finish on the RTi A line & oh mah gosh, just knew I had to have those lol. Put my Monitors up on eBay & after they all sold, got an all new setup eventually. Took a couple of months but oh man, was it ever worth it! I even upgraded my avr just this week to an Onkyo 818 & couldn't be more pleased with my lil home theater! Once bitten, it's hard to stop but I think I've just about got everything where I want it to be!!
