So, whats the estimated costs of a decent home theater system with stand-alone amp and speakers?

Besides, whats is the cheapest available bargain that we could get for the lowest end pioneer HTiB?

Thats mean it carries the risk of exploding my 20W speakers..... Is it......????


Only if you turn volume up too much. Your PC speakers will have a power rating, if you pump in more power than it can handle then the driver can malfunction.

My friend tried playing bluray converted transformer dvd using his cheap 5.1 system and it sound much much better than my 2.1 system. This makes me want to buy a 5.1 system and match it with bluray.....


Maybe the difference with your friend's 5.1 system is the extra surround effects and dedicated center channel.

I've seen a Jamo 5.1 speaker set at Harvey Norman for about 1.9k. Dunno how good it is though, didn't have a chance to demo it. The AVR will be another 1.8 - 2k.
