Price range? A home theater system is comprised of more than 2 speakers. Tolerable sound can be had from a $500 home theater in a box system. Check out the Yamaha YHT-540, I think they still make that one. You get a real receiver with some real power that you can actually use to drive some real read: big speakers when you outgrow those supplied with the system. You get speakers bigger than those with most other systems, and a decent DVD player.

Ahh c'mon. Most people are not audiophiles and don't have trained ears. To most people a $500 stereo system sounds frikking awesome, especially compared to TV speakers.

$250 buys you a decent receiver.

$250 buys you OK speakers.

But to most people, decent reciever + OK speakers is virtually indistinguishable from the $10,000 rig the neighborhood audiophile has.
