I am trying to decide between two HTIBs. I am not an audiophile, Ive lived the last 25 years using only TV speakers and I want to spend less than $400. I have a friend that can get me a discount on this system: http://www.sherwoodamerica.com/prod_hts6500.html Its a Sherwood 600 Watt 5.1 system w/ a powered Sub. I can get it for $215. The other system Ive been looking at is this one: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-HT-DDW900-Complete-5-1-Channel-Passthrough/dp/B000ES8C2G Its a Sony 900 Watt 5.1 system. It runs about $249. To me, it seems like I should probobly go with the Sony, because its only $35 more and its 300 watts more powerful. I dont know much about surround sound systems, so I thought I would ask and make sure my logic is sound and make sure there isnt something I am missing on either of these.

deviant. posted:Wattage is relatively meaningless at this level. Listen to both (if you can) and buy the one you like best. Just be aware that neither of them will probably not have long service lives - inexpensive HTiBs rarely last more than a few years. Okay, so I want to stay away from HTiBs. I have a friend who has given me a fairly new pioneer receiver. What about speaker systems like this one? http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Polk-Home-Theater-Speaker-System-RM6750BK/sem/rpsm/oid/124847/catOid/-16881/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do They seem like a more affordable way to get speakers, but do they fall into the same catagory as HTiB? Right now Ive got ~ $300 I can spend. Should I pick up something like the system above or just buy a pair of front speakers and a sub and build on my system a little at a time or what? You guys know way more about home audio that I do, so if you could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
