I have a pet shop and want to put music in it of the rainforest, ocean, and things of that sort. I want 6 speakers and a pretty good bass sound(for the thunder). I think I need 6.1 surround system, and I also need a 5 cd disc changer. I'm willing to spend $400.

Any Recommendations?
 
are there even 5.1 recordings of these sounds?

If not, then just get any pro-logicII receiver and just go nuts.

Last time I checked on EBay you could get a Yamaha 6.1 setup just plug and go for about $550...so if you look around in the used stuff, you might get it for less.
like this kit: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/HTIB/HTIB_450_1.htm

BTW I bought the speakers form that setup alone, for $200 shipped off ebay...I should be getting them next week.
just the speakers: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/speakers/NSBP4500.htm

And here's the receiver from that setup: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/HTIB/HTR5740.htm

I bet if you go for the speaker set and receiver separate, you might be able to get both for about $400...if not just go to a lesser receiver. Those speakers should do nicely.


edit: forgot you needed a cd-changer....ok so scratch that and try for this receiver: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/HTIB/HTR5730.htm
and this changer: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/DVD_CD/CDC585.htm

You can check out other brands as well, I'm just a huge fan of their receivers/cd-changers, and their speakres are decent bang for the buck.
 
Go for a decent used stereo reciever. You should be able to find one fore $20-30 if you keep your eyes peeled at yard sales/pawn shops/cragslist.org. Spend about the same on the speakers. Use the A+B speakers to give you 4 broadcast points.

Spend the rest on the sub. If you want a sub that can fill a space that is a big as I imagine a pet shop could be, it'll take some doing. If you are willing, a DIY sonotube job can be cheap and efficient. Use the tape line output into the sub, and dial in a decent crossover point (80-100).
