Avoid Bose for one thing.
I got myself a nice budget system for my place. I had to keep it somewhat small because I have a smallish living room and I live in a condo with neighbors.
Basically for about $400, I got:
Harmon Kardon AVR-146
Dayton Sub 10"
Dayton surround speakers (center, right, left, surrounds)
For the price, the system kicks butt. The sub is amazing. The speakers are small, but work for my situation. If I went for a little more pricier system, maybe a couple hundred bucks more, I would have gotten a better HK or Onkyo receiver, some Polk standups for the R/L channels and better surround speakers. I wouldn't have changed the sub.
