Might want to check Onkyousa.com. There is a refurbished section which has crazy discounts after you sign up for a free members account. Everything comes with a warranty. I bought a deck that ran for 700 new for 230, I've seen whole HT systems for sale in there.

Jamo has been known to turn out a good speaker or two, but I haven't heard about them much since Klipsch bought them out.

Thanks, we personally think the Jamo speakers are not pleasing to look at. We already have wooden mounts at the top corners of the room so might consider something similar to the small satellites like the polk audio listed above...
I have had my issues with the all in one setups already, as I owned 3 of them and when one piece goes, the whole setup is deemed useless...
We will start the framing for the projector screen and i'll be posting up more images... Football games have been amazing for friends coming over... Football players are as big as yourself standing next to them...

We only have this very old 2.1 computer speaker set being used now, but it still sounds descent... I had this speaker set for almost 10+ years so don't hate for this temporary sound setup...

You will enjoy that Yamaha Receiver lots of toys to keep you busy,

Also the Polk audio speaker system you pointed at would be space saving and also very discreet giving your room a little more space aswell,

Overall it will be a pretty good system all round thumb.gif
