Tom Romer: Your question makes no sense.

Georgianna Zollo: Yikes. You need a LOT of education before you buy anything.What do you mean by "full"?"800 Watts" Large power numbers on the box like "1,000 WATTS OF POWER" is usually used on crappy systems to fool ! first time buyers. If it is a skinny receiver with a built-in disk drive - run."USB" - Home theater systems are NOT computers. "cheapest ... wireless" - This is oxymoronic. Wireless means you do not run 'speaker' wires, but each speaker must contain:* All the components to make a speaker* A power supply for each rear speaker* A Amplifier for each rear speaker* Electronics to receive signals to each rear speaker.Take the price of a modest bookshelf speaker - then multiply it by 4 to make it wireless. "Good Branded" - this is about the only thing you mention that I agree with. A modest Yamaha, Denon, Pioneer or Onkyo AV Receiver will probably work better for you.Let me focus on power:With home theater - you surround yourself or a few chairs with a ring of speakers. This is NOT a music system where you are trying to reach concert-hall volume .. in the neighbors home. You just need a modest amount of power per speaker to give a few chairs the surround sound effect.A good, h! onesty measured AV Receiver that outputs something like 80 wat! ts per channel will do a great job and can be found in the lower end or middle range of many good brands.GENERAL GUIDELINESYou want to look at a system that has all these attributes:* A full-sized, AV Receiver with lots of spare inputs* A separate, self-powered subwoofer* 5 monitor style speakers (or 7)* No BluRay player or has a separate, stand-alone BluRay player. Not a built-in driveA system that matches these criteria will give you a great Movie experience, lets you attach all types of things, lets you upgrade or swap parts if you want and probably wont cost you more than $500-$1,000 but will last for years.Search Amazon for "Onkyo Home Theater" to find some box systems that meet all these criteria.Hope this helps....Show more
