Hello all. Well, I decided to watch Transformers on HBO HD tonight and have had enough of not being able to "feel" the movie. I want to be able to feel the bass and my Z-5500 system just is not cutting it.

Now, I love the Z-5500 system because it is what it is. I am using it in my living room as my actual home theater system....yes I know....

Currently my setup is as follows:

* Samsung 50" Series 6 DLP HDTV
Model #: SAM HL50A650

* PS3 as my BLU-RAY player

* Logitech Z-5500 as my surround sound

Now, in todays Fry's ad locally here in Dallas, they have the following HTIB from Onkyo for $399.99:

I looked at prices and reviews and this thing sells for $599 easily. I can also pricematch it at CC and get it for $389 out the door. My question is, IS IT AN UPGRADE from the Z-5500? I will not need the DVD player and can possibly sell it.

$400 to spend and want great sound and deep bass that I can feel. What do you guys suggest? I have also seen the Polk Audio 5.1 speaker system on sale for $199, would this be a better choice of speakers and just add a decent receiver to it?
 
I understand that you said you have $400 to spend, but if you can stretch it a bit to $500, this should be a good option. It was posted a few days ago by spaceman, and it seems like a pretty nice deal. I'm sure you'll "feel" the movies with these. :)

Not sure if that helped too much since its a bit over your budget, but I'm sure other people can help you out since I'm not too good with speaker selection either. I just linked that one because it was previously recommended. :)
