I have the Onkyo HT-S790, the 7.1 HTiB that is one step down from the THX-certified system. I am very happy–I have not yet viewed/heard a DVD, SACD, or Blu-ray movie that this system could not handle. It is not reference quality, but talk about bang for your buck, at $500 I couldn’t be happier.

I would concur with Flap Jack — but add that you can get some very good small speakers… then add a good SUB WOOFER — that will get you a lot of the bass effect you are looking for. I did set up the Onkyo System for a friend and she is very very happy… not everyone is looling to knock the wall down.

If sound is the key to your enjoyment … then use your ears — not your eyes. Listen to a lot of speakers, subs, etc. Again, like wine it doesn’t have to cost thousands to be something you like… so use your ears and buy what sounds good to you listening to the material you like to listen to (or the type of movies you like to watch).

Onkyo does have the best reputation for HTIB systems…

Why bother?

If good sound is your goal. None of these will cut it. HTIB’s are the red headed stepchild of home theater design, not worth mentioning.

The only HTIB I have ever recommended to anyone was the THX certified 7.1 Onkyo. It is the only HTIB to get and has OK performance. I would recommend this with great protest.

If on a budget, save up and get it or a separates setup.

Home theatre?
i want to buy a home theatre but I don’t know much about that
What can u suggest me between the Samsung HT-TX75, LG LH-E932TB, Panasonic SCPT950K, Pionneer HTP55HDFS, and Sony DAVHDX466 , which one has a great sound quality and especially a very heavy bass effect
