Onkyo HT-SR600 5.1 Home Theater System $243 at Circuit City

anyone know the quality of this setup?

It's pretty good, but 5.1 is outdated. I've got the same system for $200 three years ago.

#2, you're an rodeo cowboy.

1. 5.1 is not outdated, unless you're watching HD-DVD or Blu-Ray. Most media (TVs, movies, games) can't even utilize anything more than 1 That being said, most people can't even differentiate between 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1, so there's no reason to believe someone looking for a low-end, decent HTIB shouldn't buy this.

2. You didn't buy this for $200, unless you bought refurbished or got an employee discount somewhere. Even then, I highly doubt you bought it for $200.

3. I call bullshit on your whole posting because this system wasn't even on the market three years ago (Jan. 2005). Hell, the user's manual even says 2006.

It's douchebags like you that tarnish good deals.

#1, quick search on Google revealed that this is probably the best HTIB for the price. If you can afford it, however, go for the HT-SR800. Probably the Best HTIB for $700 and under, and right now you can get 10% at Circuit City if you do in-store pickup. Not including sales tax, you can get it for around $400. Keep in mind, however, the satellites are pretty damn big, but they sound awesome.

#2 Busted for Bullshitting, please leave and never come back.

No idea about its quality.

Agreed about this being one of the better home theatre in a box setups, wish it had HDMI though

The Onkyo HTIB's have been the highest rated ones at Circuit City for years. For the money, you're getting a lot.

Onkyo is the best you can buy at this price range. They also make very good mid end receivers (up to $1000)

I have the Onkyo HT-S894 5.1 system... I got it for $400 about 4 months ago. Fantastic system and I definitely trust the brand. This seems like a great buy for the $$$... it's just a shame that it doesn't have HDMI :/.
