I certainly have more money in movies than I do in my TV and surround sound.

Mostly big box store stuff. I would hasten to add that I audition everything prior to purchase. Dunno if you would call it cheapie but certainly not a $10k super system. Yamaha receiver, Athena speakers, Velodyne subwoofer, JVC VCR, Sony DVD player.

I'm pretty much the same. I bought a mid range system about 3 or 4 years ago for about Aus$2.5k but no big TV. My DVD collection is over 300 disks at the moment. Assume an average of Aus$20 per disk, that's over Aus$6k just on DVD's.

I consider it a cheapie system. All in all it was about $8 - $10k but it's like 7 or 8 years old now so it's not worth anywhere near that now.

I have my computer with a Creative Audigy II with the matching Creative 5.1 surround speakers. It works ok for a computer set up.

Definitely high end.

Though I don't have surround sound, I do have a stereo setup in the theater that includes Krell KMA-160 monoblock amps and Aerial Acoustics 10T speakers.

I'd rather have superior stereo than lesser surround sound quality.

My picture is a CRT front projection rig, an Electrohome Marquee 9500LC, one of the absolute
best home theater projectors available. It stomps all over any digital projector you can buy.
Top end CRT projectors rule over digital in picture quality.

I throw a 120 inch diagonal (at 4:3 aspect ratio) picture (that's 8 feet wide, FYI) and my sources
are upscaled DVDs and also HD cable. I watch DVDs at 1080p. (Upscaled)

I did... then I got rid of a lot of it and I'm in the process of installing a badass SQ setup in my Cadillac.
I started off saying, "no more than $400"

Eclipse Head Unit $300
CDT Componets $250
CDT 10" Sub $125
Misc Hardware $200
Fiberglass/Resin for Box $100

$1000 later and I still need an amp for my components... anyone have a cheap 2-channel amp ~25-50 watt RMS they want to get rid of for cheap?

I think we aren't all on the same page here.

Given the fact that this is the MOVIES & HOME THEATERS forum, I don't think that
car audio systems are quite what the topic is.
