I have shopped for quite a while trying to find a good surround system set of speakers and have found nothing for much less than $700 or $800 dollars. Not anything of decent quality. Surround systems with a receiver are $1k or more. My son had one of the higher priced Samsung surround systems. He had to send it back in to Samsung 4 times, all on warranty, before he finally gave up on Samsung. Each time they ended up just sending him another system, but it also took a couple months for the turnaround. 2 times they sent him the 'new and improved', or they upgraded him, but the boxes kept failing. We bought one a couple years back, can't remember the brand, but it was a $500 system, and a name brand, but the sound was punk and we ended up taking it back instead just keeping our old stereo receiver feeding 4 floor speakers from the TV. I'm sure someone will come on and say I'm fullofshit, but that's what I know of it. Good luck, hope your search goes better than mine.
