Best Complete HomeTheater USED for $5000.00

Great - gentlemen - I,m really learning a lot from all of you.

Regarding the absence of a center channel -- I would guess a four channel system would work similar to a two channel system. With my two channel system, one need not be in the sweet spot to enjoy the phantom center. I think this would depend of the speakers. If I were you, I would try it with four speakers and if you feel like you need that center channel, see if you can demo a center channel speaker so you can hear the difference.

Hi
Out of mostly practicality, I'm toying withe the idea of plazma.. What of this Vizio product out of California - they have a 46" for under 2-grand...

Does anyone know or recommend this brand?

Also, what features are "must haves" in Plazmas?

I'm looking at a Bose "lifestyle" system, with the idea of putting my home theater in a differnt room, and keeping my 2-channel independant.

Might seem like a cop-out, but I see some merit in practical terms as it also provides for "Musac" in differnt rooms in my house - using their digital storage sytem and multi-room capabilty - for non critical
listening.

I get to continue to build on my 2-channel, while having a relitvely low cost theater in another room - while i wait for the costs of high quality projectors or LCDs to drop.

Your comments?

Thanks

I picked up a complete 5 speaker set of speakers at e-bay the other day (Aurasound Aura). These are no longer made by Aura Sound and were closed out at UBID for very cheap prices.

They use a monopole Linaeum tweeter and 6.5 inch mid/woofer...I bought the complete set for $200.

I gave these a trial run last night on Lord of the Rings which has a very demanding soundtrack...WOW! They don't do deep bass as you would expect from their driver size...plenty of bass for small/med size rooms though IMO.

A couple of the smallest HSU subs at $600 for the pair (direct from HSU) would place this system cost at under $1,000... and holding it's own with much more costly systems.

Why? because the monopole Linaeum tweeter in these little gems is first rate and has no competitor at any where near this price range

Keep a sharp eye at Ebay and you will be well rewarded!

Hi Again
Couldn't in the end bring myself to buy the Bose cr.. -especially after I researched it.

So went to THX digital receiver, with HDMI Plasma / DVd, and these nice little Gallo speakers with sub.

Wow - to think I even considered the Bose
