Home Theatre system better than LG HB806TM?

First you definitely don't want Bose not because of the price but because of the lack of quality. The problem is that it is very difficult to put together anything for that $1000 price range. There are some better HTiB systems than your LG like Onkyo for example but these are still pretty bad, even the $1000+ ones. The best way to get a system is to piece it together. To do this, you need a DVD/Blu-Ray player, a Receiver, five speakers, and a subwoofer. You're dividing that $1000 up quite a bit to do that and you really just can't get decent components. One option to save money would be to try and find some old "Optimus 7" or "Minimus 7" speakers on e-bay. Like this... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Optimus-Pro-7AV-Minimus-7-Speakers-All-working-Great-Looking-and-Sounding-/300687826364?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item4602641dbc These are no longer made but were one of the best compact speakers ever made. So if you can round up five of these on e-bay you should be able to save enough to have a better budget for a decent receiver and powered subwoofer. For the receiver look at Pioneer, Onkyo, etc. Try to spend at least $300 on the receiver and another $300 on a powered sub. Along with five of the old Minimus 7 speakers this should put together a half way decent little system. mk

Two things, to start. Cheap all in one systems are, well, cheap, and thus not good at all. And, Bose is steaming bovine excrement, not worth $5. Just Google -Bose sucks-. Now, if you want good sound, and good connectivity, and if you can go upwards towards the $1000 price point, then you do have a good range of options. First, you need a solid home theater audio receiver. Besides letting you listen to the radio, the receiver will be your central switching station for inputs, so disc player(s), game devices, and so on, plus TV audio, as well. In this, good makers of HT receivers are Pioneer, Denon, Yamaha and Harman Kardon. Examples include the Pioneer VSX-921-K for about $300. Or, a Harman Kardon 2600, list price of $800, for $350, on Amaz*n. Then, you need speakers. You don't say if you want to go 5.1 or 7.1. In a 5.1 system, you will have two front speakers, two rears, one centre, and a subwoofer. In a 7.1 system you get two mid-sides, as well. One way to split the difference is to get a 7.1 receiver, buy a 5.1 speaker package, and thus, if/when you decide to go up to 7.1 sound, just add two more speakers. In speakers, the best ones tend to be made by companies which specialise in them, so JBL, Infinity, and Polk, to name three. As examples, you could get a Polk 6750 5.1 speaker set, list price of $600, available from WholeSaleAV (Through Amaz*n) for $225. Then, if/when you decide to go to 7.1, add a pair of larger front speakers, such as the Monitor 50s for about $250 a pair. I'd also suggest auditioning some speakers in stores, before you buy. You should be comfortable with the sound of the ones that you pick out, while electronics can more easily be bought on the basis of pictures and specifications. Upconverting DVD players can be had for as little as $50, while BluRay players will run about $100 and up. Also, you'll need some connecting cables, such as 16 gauge speaker wire, likely at least 100 feet of it, depending on room size and speaker distances from the receiver (Always allow for extra lengths, to go behind furniture, around corners, etc.), HDMI cables to hook up the disc player to the receiver, then to the TV, and a digital optical cable, when sends the TV audio to the receiver. All these can be found for low prices on Amaz*n, as well. I'll also plug Newegg for a second source for the electronics, and as always, shop around.
