So my friend is looking for a nice system for his TV. He wants it so he can hear the footsteps while he's gaming. I know he can probably find a good system on craigslist but I was wondering if there were any new systems that would be decent. I found the energy classic 5.1 for 399 on amazon but that would only leave 100 bucks for a receiver. If anybody knows any good sounding systems for under 500, please leave a post. Thanks!

Beats out the Bose Triport, the HD 202 and HD 435s, the AT M35 and AT M50. Just try it and see. Extremely comfortable (I wear mine while commuting and studying, for about 5+ hours a day). Bought...

When I first put them on on I though that the highs will blow my head off. My ears got tired after 10 - 15 minutes. I though I would throw them out of the window. But having read some good...

I'm in the market for a 5.1 system atm, and to be honest, you're not going to find much for under $500 unless you get a pre-built one and those won't be the greatest quality. Something as simple as http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Yamaha+-+600W+5.1-Ch.+Home+Theater+System/9875451.p?id=1218187080690&skuId=9875451 will be acceptable. If he can make his budget a bit bigger then he could consider brands like Polk Audio, PSB and maybe Paradigm if he's willing to spend a lot and buy all of the speakers/wires/etc separate.
