Answer 1

hmm. ok number one-walmart.  i would never buy any stereo equipment from walmart.  go to http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl....

for the money, these are probably the best speakers you'll ever find.  for the receiver i would recommend the panasonic sa-xr55 6.1 channel digital receiver.  i've had it for over a year and paid $220 for it.  according to every review i could find it blows away anything under $500 and even some up to $750.  panasonic got a huge jump on digital amps and is now producing them at a fraction of the price of everyone else.

Answer 2

get the onkyo ht-sr800, you won't regret it.

Answer 3

You are not going to get a good surround system at walmart.  10% total harmonic distortion is a ridiculous number.  Any decent amp would be measured to .01% total harmonic distortion.  I can't believe Pioneer (who used to be a good manufacturer) would fudge numbers like this to fool unsuspecting consumers.  Shame on walmart and shame on pioneer.

Answer 4

Five stars baby!  You already know the answer!

Answer 5

Bose would've been better.

Answer 6

On the cheap, sure.  But you're not going to impress much with those small speakers.  They don't even tell you the frequency range the speakers can do.  Plus 10% THD is not that great.  But then again it is under $200.
