I put this together in the family room of my new house (new to me) for video only. I am not big into HT. My audio system is elsewhere (play room)! The speakers were store demos; the receiver new/refurbished; the Target stands at AudioAdvisor clearance; and the rest used/mint. I actually got it all for about $1585. It sounds great for the price. The REL Sub is the key component. The B&W 302 have great mids and highs for the price and are efficient 91dB (the receiver is only 55 watts X 5). So the accurate bass from the REL make this system sound much better than the price would suggest. If you are looking for an good sounding HT system on a budget, I recommend this combination.
Most all regular DVD Players are 10 Bit Video. This Sony is 12 Bit Video and the difference is very noticeable. The original Integra Receiver was 55 watts; newer one is 85 watts.
Yes, me too! My audio system probably retails for 5 times the HT system. The Onkyo receiver was new/refurbished. Got it from a Ubid.com auction for only $129 plus shipment.
