For my room, i am planning to purchase and set up one of the HTiBs. Rather than buying seperate components, and mixing matching, buying a pre-set system seems more logical for my medium sized room.
I am particularly interested in the Yamaha YHT-450 system. I was wondering what other stuff GAFFERS might own, and/or looking at?
I am sure a few of us are interested in this stuff with the next gen right at the corner.
Again, let's keep the $10,000 high end stuff out of this discussion, please.

If you're using it in your room, and you have a computer in there, Logitech Z5500s are a pretty sound investment...

only problem then is having a monitor that doubles as a TV screen... probably one of those HD TV screens

I'd be interested to hear whats good these days. I still have my good old Sony STR-DB840. DTS+DD5.1 is pretty much all I need, along with my mission speakers and paradigm sub.

I've never really bothered with 7 channel stuff, or vertical separation. Maybe when bluray hits, and I can afford a 1080p front projector, I'll look at upgrading, but I think I'm happy so far.

Has HT tech come on so far as to improve the sound, or is it mostly in space saving (My current receiver is pretty big)

for the price that's a good system. although it no longer comes with a powered sub, but you can upgrade it if you want.

For something affordable. These can be found for as little as $200 and whoop just about any other HTiB system. http://www.athenaspeakers.com/micra6SystemSpeakers.htm

For a receiver these rock and look great. Panasonic all digital SA-XR55 could probably be gotten cheaper to. I would give the SA-XR50 a look too. http://www.videodirect.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SAXR55
