How much will a really good suround sound setup for my hdtv cost?

Q. Im getting a new hdtv and I want some nice speakers,but im use to high-end headphones so im going to need something that sounds better than average,how much would it cost?

A. If you want quality you're diffidently looking at $400+

You have stated surround sound, so I'm not counting proper home theater systems.

I am using a 5.1 Logitech G51 surround sound system at the moment. The sound quality and subwoofer are above average. And the power of the speakers are acceptable enough to be compared to home theater systems. It costed me $350 when I bought it. It should only cost about $150 these days. There are newer models now with more power. Look into the z5500 aswell.

If you want an proper quality home theater system you're looking at $800+

Recommend brands
- Sony
- Pioneer (Best)
- Yamaha (Best)

You'll find many home theater systems from those brands ranging from $800 to many thousands depending on your quality expectations.

The first link is a Panasonic brand. Not the BEST, but it's still a reliable brand. For the price, the sound quality will be decent to say the least, but it will go loud. (1000Watts) is plenty of raw power. Also consider the speaker types. These are little speakers, similar to the logitech g51 recommendation above.

This link is when we start getting into truly 'quality' home theater systems. Notice big speakers. It's has less power than 1000Watt but the sound quality and the brand will make it just as loud and good. 800Watts is still very very loud.

It all depends on how you feel about quality. The best thing to do would be to go into the store with a music player and ask to test different types of systems to see what you like.

Good luck


What surround sound should i buy for HDTV?
Q. I have an HDTV and im looking for an affordable surround sound that wont leave wires running all over my living room. Are there any affordable 5.1 channel surround sounds that would be good for maybe a 10' by 10' living room, with wireless rear speakers?

I've researched and just can't decide.

A. I have one made by Samsung 1000w and it kicks ass. Sorry I can't remember the model though. But well worth the $400 it was a couple of years ago. Prolly pretty cheap now.


Would like a relatively inexpensive hdtv to play Xbox 360 and watch sports on?
Q. Could anybody guide me in the right direction towards an HDTV that is relatively inexpensive and would give me a good clear picture for Xbox 360 and watch my beloved sports on. Im looking for something under $300.

I'm a college student who lives in a dorm so I dont want anything massive and i dont think $300 can afford anything massive, but sizeable enough you know to enjoy things.

A. Is there any chance you could push that by $100. I know college life can do serious harm to the bank account, but at $400 you could get the Panasonic TC-L32C12. Its a wicked 32" HDTV. Its a basic model though, but a top flight brand, and a solid size for the dorm and then for an apartment (if you end up in one later on).

Its $500 on Best Buy's site, but Amazon has it at $399. I'd push to get a Best Buy to price match Amazon. Or look for any retailer that will price match Amazon, or hell just get it from Amazon.

A bit cheaper, and smaller, there is the LG 26LH20. Its just under $350 at Amazon. That would be another solid option.

But if you have to hold hard to the $300, I guess I'd recommend the Viore LC26VF59 from Walmart. I'm not a huge fan of the brand but its a decent size and is $308. Or maybe the Phillips 22PFL3504D/F7 22" set for $298.

Again, I think the Panasonic TC-L32C12 would be the best college TV (which would still hold up say if you end up in an apartment with more room). But it is definitely above your desired budget. They do have a 26" set as well, but its only like $28 cheaper. Oh and I think Costco has the Panasonic 32" set for $400 (to price match against if some place won't accept Amazon).

Also at Costco, if that's an option for you, there is a 23" Samsung for $300 ($270 right now w/ discount). Its a fair bit smaller in size, but not too bad for a dorm room. Then it would fit your budget. And its a reputable brand.
