I just dropped a couple bills on a receiver, cd player, floorstanding speakers and a sub:
Yamaha HTR-5790 980 watt 7.1ch

Sony RCD-W500C 5-Disc Dual-Deck CD Changer/CD-R/RW Recorder with Super Bit Mapping

JBL Northridge E100 3-Way Dual 10" Floorstanding Speakers

JBL E250PCH Northridge E Series 12" 250W Front-Firing Powered Subwoofer

not really setup for home theater yet...until i get my 50" samsung dlp

working at best buy part time has its benefits
