Question

Are there any projected releases of a Blueray Surround Sound System?

Answer 1

I agree with Kevin W in avoiding the cheapie HT in a box all in one sets. The key thing about home theater is the quality of the *sound* and cheapie speakers will give you lousy sound quality.

If you look on amazon, you can find several very good and low priced AV receivers and speaker sets, that will cost you a bit more than an all in one in a box, but they will sound much better, are built better, and have more inputs and outputs.

Theres a nifty 6 speaker Polk set over there for about $250, and good quality receivers can be had starting at $200.

Answer 2

Panasonic will release one in August or September.  But to really take advantage of the sound quality afforded by Blu-ray discs, I would stay away from any blu-ray htib's(home theater in a box) because they will most likely use paper horns in the speakers.  You will also probably have to pay as much for it as you would building your own set up using aluminum or titanium tweeter speakers made by klipsch, polk audio, jbl, mirage or other mid-level brands.
