Default Re: astroglide\'s home theater: what i own, what i would buy today

Guys,

I have a very nice 50" TV, but it's in a small room without surround sound. I am happy with the performance of my standard DVDs, although I have never watched a Blu-Ray DVD. Is it worth it to buy a Blu-Ray player without surround sound? Would the surround sound even play a big enough role in determining this?

Surround sound isn't absolutely necessary. I watch plenty of HD (on HD DVD and on DirecTV) and I've never had any surround speakers. I have heard systems with surround. They do add something. But I'm fine with not having them.

To answer another poster's question, I would say that a subwoofer is necessary, though. Especially if you like action movies, which use the subwoofer a lot.
