I have assembled this system in the last 3 years, since becoming permanently disabled with a chronic pain condition. It is my opinion that you don't need to spend a bunch of $$$ to get a really good sounding Home Theater System. I put a lot of research into building this system on a budget, since

I now have a limited income and would just like to pass this on to those who are in the same situation, money wise.

The system is getting to be almost 2-3 years old and some of the components have been recently upgraded.

I have never paid retail price for any of the components, as searching for the right used equipment or cheapest price, also went into the research of this system.

I hope that any of you that can't afford for put a lot of money in a home theater will be helped by my research. I totally love my HT, and never thought I could get this much A/V for the money!

Wheen looking at retail prices, I saved approx. 1/2 off retail by buying good used or finding the right deal!
