so we just got a panasonic 37" plasma, and mounted it to the wall. there's two things we need to get now, a decent speaker system and a rack to store the dvd player/cable box/cable modem/wireless router in.
as far as speaker systems, the main requirement is that the speakers sound decent for movies and are small enough to easily mount on the wall and don't require tons of wires. I love the
polk surroundbar, but it's a little more than we wanted to spend. to clarify why we need such a sound system, our apartment is small and we don't have a lot of floorspace. 95% of the time my wife watches tv it's with headphones, the only time we use the speakers is when we watch a movie together about twice a week.
our previous tv was a 12 year old boxy thing that sat on a tv stand I bought from target, the components were stored underneath. it looks ridiculous now with no tv on it, so we need a really small wooden box type thing to store the aforementioned components. can anyone recommend a company? I checked ikea and target and they don't seem to have anything like what we want.
