[Noob] Need suggestion for home theater system

[objectivecpp]

Hi,

I have 42" TV which is connected to Logitech Z-2300 THX (2.1) audio system. While it sounds good, I'd like to upgrade my audio system with the budget of 500-800$. I am not sure which is good for me (2.1 or 5.1).

I'd appreciate your suggestion.

Thanks.

whatever you ultimately end up with, the receiver should be a/v capable and handle full 5.1 or 7.1 setups. Even if you start out with a 2.1 speaker system the a/v receiver will not be the limit to how far you can advance your system.

we need to know some of your requirements and preferences -
room size
speaker type preference (large vs. small, tower vs. bookshelf, tiny satellites)
what are your input sources (cable/satellite, game console, DVD/blu-ray ??)
HDMI 1.3 or HDMI 1.4a (3D TV capable)

Thanks for the reply.

Room size : 12 x 16
Speaker type preference : Tower (Large or Small but not very large)
What are your input sources: DirecTV HD channels, XBox360, Blu Ray player and iPod
HDMI 1.3 or HDMI 1.4a (3D TV capable): I am not interested in 3D stuff

Thanks
