What is the best surround system for around two hundred dollars?

Question

This is for a secondary tv that has an xbox 360, and dvd player hooked up to it. I want to be able to hook all these up and use the surround for watching tv too. IT doesnt have to be the best, just a pretty good system that will work with everying.

Answer 1

In that price range you should look for inputs and outputs as the deciding factor, you will get mediorce sound from a such a system.

Answer 2

I bought a Panasonic SC-HT40 at circuit City for $160. Sounds great at fairly high sound levels. Of course if you want Cinema like powerful sound you need to look into $500 and up. This Panasonic has been discontinued, also does not include a DVD player. You can find others with integrated DVD players. I prefer it this way so I can select a better Upconverting player. Be sure it includes the inputs you want, like Optical or coaxial, HDMI, etc.
