We have a lot of home speakers in this house. Most of them are in the small family room in which we watch TV and the other are in the Master bedroom. Watching TV in surround sound is very important to Dennis. We did have a system rigged up using a device a friend put together for us that turned your home stereo system into surround sound for your TV. We got rid of that last year and got a regular surround sound., It was a cheaper one from Wal-Mart. I like it just fine. Just like I think using one of those cheaper 350 dollar computers from Wal-mart rather than buying an expensive one is just fine too.
