What kind of surround sound system do you have for your TV?

About 6-7 years ago I bought the BOSE 3-2-1 system and I love it. It's in my man cave and the sound is great. I've seen some of the other systems BOSE sells, but what system do you have?

A Sony A/V receiver that was pretty high end about 10 years ago. It supports Dolby Digital, DTS, etc. and still sounds great, but HDMI wasn't even dreamed up yet when I bought it so I use an external HDMI switch and some other conversion magic for that. Thankfully my Harmony One remote ties the whole system together seamlessly.

For speakers I have JBL towers for the front L/R, a matching JBL center, and a couple of smaller JBL's for the rear. And I have a 15" Polk Audio sub.

Again, the heart of this system was put together about 10 years ago when I built a DVD home theater, and parts of it have been upgraded to handle Blu-Ray and the newer video formats. While it would be fun to throw $1500+ at a modern A/V receiver, I can't justify it since the current system works/sounds great still.

Onkyo HT-S9400THX

Love it. Bought it when they released it last year. Newegg had typed the price in wrong and I ended up getting it for less than the 8400 sale price, about 60% off retail the day Onkyo released it. Never would have paid retail or even the discounted/sale price, just too much money. But damn the sound is good.

Desktop = Bose Companion 5.

Home = ONKYO HT-S5400.

Honestly, I still kinda preferred my desktop setup.

Pioneer VSX-1019AH Receiver and 5.1 Acoustic Research HD510 speakers/sub. They compliment my 50" Panasonic Plasma very well. I'd love to upgrade the speakers / sub, but can't justify the cost.

I’m kind of weird in how I have to have everything matching. I got a pioneer plasma about 4 years ago and just this Christmas added some audio equipment. I fount a pioneer VSX-40 receiver on sale at best buy for 199 instead of the 450 retail. Bought two sets of the pioneer SP-BS41-LR’s that woot had a while back. Found an SW-8 sub on ebay for half price. I had to pay retail for the center though.

Overall I pleased with the sound quality and the deals I was able to find.

Sony HTS in a box. DAV-DX150, but looking to upgrade, because like @tfisch, HDMI wasn't in the pipelines yet (about 10 years ago). Still, it works great, has a 5-disc changer, upscales DVDs, plays MP3 and JPG discs has a AM/FM tuner and full 5.1 surround. Works for what I need it for, but want something to pipe my PS3 into.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
