Arrow Speaker Setup

Alright, I am redoing my room and whatnot, so I thought I would get a nice speaker setup. I have a relatively medium sized room, I am looking for either a 5.1 or a 7.1 setup. If possible, have it hooked up to my computer and TV.

I thought about wireless, though I am open to wired, I have a wireless router in my room as well, so I dont know if they will interfere.


I was thinking, either put them on stands, or mount them in each corner or my room, and on the wall.


I am open to all kinds of suggestions, my budget is around $300. Though its not final, it can be raised.



Thanks.

So those can go to my TV and Computer?


Should I also look at Home Theater type speakers, so I can get a DVD player as well.


Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you can. I can't say for sure because I haven't tried it... I believe theres just a cable to buy for that... hopefully someone can correct me on that lol.

Lol, alright.

I may go with a set of Home Theater speakers, I already have Logitech 5.1 Speakers for my computer, the Z-530's.



Thanks.

Buildup your own system, start by buying a receiver, then some speakers. The receiver can be switched from TV to PC input.

Could I value from a HTPC setup at all?


Or should I buy individually, or a whole setup.



Thanks.

Well, I've been thinking, and I want to go wireless, I just want to know I wont get any interference, lag or anything. Also, can I find a DVD player that allows an external hard drive to connect and show its content, or stream it via wireless from my computer. I was also thinking of getting a set of wireless headphones for the TV and to use on my Zune or something. And maybe a universal remote.



What do you all think?



Any recommendations? Thanks.

Wireless speakers are worthless for good sound. They do not have the full spectrum of sound that a wired speaker will have.
