top of the line surround sound?

and I mean the 'Theater-in-a-box kind. Which do you prefer?

Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Pioneer, Phillips, Audiovox, RCA etc.

Well, in that market Sony, panasonic And Pioneer are the "top dogs". Sony's DAV-S Series are well known for their performace/price ratio, Pioneer has also some of the most respectable models in the market. Sony's models have a small extra, their dvd-player included on the system is allways a great player, you are also guaranteed the support of sacd playback/decoding and dvd-a. As for RCA (Which is THOMSON in europe), i wouldnt recoment buying a surround sound system from them, they got great CRT tv's and Dvd-players to offer, but people never favour them around here. I would go for a Sony or a Pioneer.
(P.S. Please dont buy ANY system for its Looks, even if appearance is an essential feature for the all-in-one market, its a buyers biggest hole to fall in, Never judge speakers or system by their looks, chances are you are going to get ripped)

Oh, I already have a surround sound system, its a Samsung and soounds great, even better than my friends Panasonic, even he admits it. I am just curious on what people are buying these days.

Though they put together more "all the components you need for an HT" rather than a true HTiB, I like Onkyo. Their speakers are good quality for the money and the recievers can't be beat. Considering you can drop about 400 bucks for an excellent setup, I can easily recommend them.

Roque! No man!! Don't ever use "top of the line surround sound" and "theater in a box" in the same context! Home theater Faux pas man! ;) :D

I bought an HTiB and I'm happy with what I was able to afford. What's your opinion on the Onkyo HT 760?

Also, which is better, an HD TV or digital projector? I want to watch TV and movies.

A true top-of-the-line surround system? How about seven Wilson Audio Alexandrias, each with its own Audio Research 300.2 amplifier and controlled by something like an Audio Research MP-1 surround preamp. The cost might be prohibitive, though: about a quarter of a million dollars, conservatively speaking.
