I need something to put under the tree that "Santa" brought me, so I've decided to treat myself to a new surround sound system. I have one right now, but it's old and the woofer rattles on -10, so I'm ready for a new system altogether.
I'll just start with a list of questions and go from there.
1. Brands (and how important is brand if it's from one of the "big" names)?
2. Is 7.1 that much better? WTF is the difference between 5.1 and 7.1 anyway (my current is 5.1)?
3. Anyone have a soundbar (+1 woofer)? How do they compare to a full set of speakers?
I'd like to keep the cost around $200-300...from what I've seen that looks doable, but I'll spend more if it's worth it.
Thanks
