I have a Samsung system. It works very well. 5 CD/DVD changer, AM/FM stereo 5.1 surround.
Paid around $300 or so for it. Only thing I would upgrade is the subwoofer. It doesn't have a lot of oomph, but it does decent, but my main thing was being able to fit it in a cabinet in the entertainment center. I've already had to secure the cabinet backing to keep it from rattling. If I ported the cabinet I would probably get much better base.
