I am very new to home theater, but would like to explore some options for a Christmas gift. We're dealing with a pretty small room (not more than 30x15 feet) and need to keep the price on the low end with 5.1 sound.
I've looked at the entry level system suggestions on the main page, but I'd like some more insight. Current gear is simply a Samsung DLP TV and a dvd player. I've looked around a bit, but all receivers I see seem to be $1,000+. As far as the speakers go, I have no idea. Should I go Onkyo, Harman Kardon, etc for the receiver?
I've looked a bit at the Harman Kardon AVR 130, and the Harman Kardon 5.1 Home Theater Speakers System, and the review appear to be decent.
Any suggestion on a 5.1 system for the best bang for the buck?
