I've got an older 27" CRT with VCR built-in. I want to replace my existing stereo and speakers and add HT speakers to my TV and DVD setup. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I don't need the best just something decent. Or just some general guidance would be great too. I'm a noob about HT.

Wallmart has some systems in your price range, go check them out. John
the speakers are so puny, that they do nothing. no dispersion, no dynamics, they just sorta sit there. seriously. headphones would sound better,
for around that budget, i would just stick with stereo. best pair of speakers you can afford. maybe powered monitors like behringer 2030s
just my opinion
Okay $200 is not going to do it. So what will. I want a respectable not great HT setup, what do I have to spend. Keeping in mind my modest means. This may be for my future reference. I don't have an HD TV yet but when I do I will want to get the right HT. Right now I just wanted to get something that begins to do the HT job. I need to get the wife hooked on the 5.1, or so, experience so when I upgrade to the HDTV and Blu-ray, I can convince her we need the appropriate HT setup. Every journey needs a first step. Thanks for your help.
