		<description>15 k? that&#039;s enough for anything of you shop best quality for best bang of the buck. 

just don&#039;t add so much you trip the breakers every time you turn everything on. I&#039;d recommend a dedicated 20 amp AFCI breaker just for the home theater room. Have a certified electrician to add an extra breaker and rewire the room. You can plug in up to 2400 watts of equipment before you trip the breakers. Add some can lights on the ceiling to have adjustable/dimmable lights. 

My parents built their own home theater out of mismatched 25 year old garage sale furnishings. There is a stack of various players, 2 DVD player, Karaoke thingy, record player, VHS and betamax, laserdisc, VCD player, radio of some kind, and some cassette tape players. Hooked up to it is a 42 inch LCD tv, 1080i HD TV. My dad got a 360 watt set of speakers (5.1 surround + subwoofer) for 99 bucks. Its plenty enough power to me. The room is 14 ft x 20ft. 

It could use a 600-800 watt sound system though. There would be a set of tweeters, mid rage, and base. then you&#039;ll have a subwoofer too. 

My dad&#039;s a music person, he often uses the radio with the speakers to fill the house with classical and jazz music.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;my dad&#039;s set up is a work in progress. it probably cost 3500 so far. 
The speakers are THX type, amazing what a good deal that was.</description>

		<description>I agree with the first responder really the speakers are the most important aspect of a decent system especially for music.  Look at your budget and go from there just a decent pair of speakers for a music listener such as yourself can cost between 300-5000 or more.

Really if you want to do the sony home theatre system why not just go with one of those Bravia all in one systems.  I would look at the Onkyo units such as the ht-s5100,6100,7100,9100, and they also have a thx certified unit these are all in one units but they use a normal Onyko 7.1 receiver which is sweet.  

I&#039;ll give you some speaker names to consider look at Paradigm Atoms, Polk Audio, Kef, and Infinity and of course Klipsch, Bose has lost some quality in the past number of years Not recommended many better sounding speakers and many cheaper then Bose.

Research, research, and trhen do some more research until you find exactly what you want.  For receivers look at Pioneer, Onkyo, Yamaha, Denon, and Harmon/Kardon is known for great music playback, and if you got the big cash Rotel or NAD. 

100 watts per channel would be plenty for this room remember the high end models are true rms so it is more like 75 watts per channel but if you convert that to watts it is like 130 watts.

Just go browsing a good electronics store tell them what you want to do what youe main uses would be for the system and they wil be able to point you in the right direction.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t get too worried about how many watts you need.  Just get a home theater receiver with around 100 watts per channel or so.  Like the other answerer said, make sure you get some good speakers.  That is the most important part of any audio system.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>what you&#039;re asking is like asking what color cup would hold 8 ozs.... 
When purchasing an audio system, first determine your budget. Then devote between 75 - 90 percent of that to the speakers. The rest to the source.
And no you can not attach an amp to an amp. &lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
