Speaker Setup

What kind of quality loss difference are we talking?

And can I find a set of wireless headphones that work with my Zune and speakers?

Thanks.

Should I build an HTPC? Or just go with a nice set of speakers and a DVD player?

Should I buy that, then buy speakers?

Or everything at once? Cause I found a set that has an upconversion DVD player, with speakers.

Yes, I agree with paratwa. Also, things can get rather expensive quickly when you buy individual components. I recommend buying a home theater set that includes the receiver and speakers, especially with a budget of around 300. I got my 7.1 system from newegg however currently the only sell 5.1 systems.

Alright.

Thanks.

Could I benefit more from a Home Theater PC?

No, any gaming pc and double as a HTPC. Vid cards with HDMI output are generally high enough for Hi Def TV's like yours and mine. I use my 7950 GX2 with no problems for video playback on my 42" TV. The only thing more you would really need is lots of storage space. I also use the optical audio output from my pc into a receiver.

You might look at something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882108212
If you wanna double your budget and get something nice like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16882115108 which includes an upscaling dvd player like you mentioned previously.
