I'm looking to get a surround sound system and am looking to spend 200 to 300 on it. Any recommendations?

Do you have a PS3 or blu ray player? I'd suggest buying a receiver that has HDMI and can output the hidef audio. Then buy your speakers separately. Will probably cost more than $300 but you'll be better off.

FWIW, I used to have a RCA 5.1 HTIB from Walmart. Paid $198 for it. I would go with a Onkyo HTIB.

I've got a Technics Receiver but I might get a new one this Christmas. As for speakers, I've to 2 B&W bookshelf speakers and 2 B&W surround speakers.

If you're getting speakers and money is no object, go with Bower & Wilkins. They're the best in the biz.

I have this:

I got it about five months ago for $564.99 at Best Buy, and it only came with the standard five speakers. They're great IMO, very sleek too.

I have an Onkyo 605 and a set of Infinity TSS 500 speakers. The audio quality on a Blu-Ray is incredible. Here are links to both:

I have an older Onkyo HDMI receiver...the SR 574. Pioneer surrounds and 10" JBL subwoofer. I think I want to go with floor standing speakers when I finally upgrade again.

For an all in one package I would go with Onkyo.
