Can I buy the speakers without the player?

That seems to be an untapped (at the very least underserved) market, the "I need surround speakers for my new amplifier" customer.

LG has one that has almost the exact same specs (BluRay, Pandora, Netflix) for $459.

@COCOViper:
yes, but how does it sound. I have been looking at htib lately and i didnt realize how different the sound quality is in each speaker system. Sheesh.. I just want something that sounds like bose or better because I really dont care to pay for the bose branding..

@BloggyMcBlogBlog: what are you talking about? i have an 8 speaker stereo system in my volvo. it sounds amazing. and dont pull that "oh well you've never had a REAL sound system have you!?" BS cause i have. and let me tell you, These speakers produce so much bass i have actually opened the trunk to look to see if there is a subwoofer. Bose makes awesome sound equipment. thats why they're so expensive. not saying that you should pay the extra for bose, but dont knock on the quality just cause they're expensive. you douche.

@[x7productions]: ONKYO actually did a few decent ones if you hit $800 MSRP and above. Some reviews even called the receivers on par with standalone ones, and at that price the ONKYOs offer full connectivity options. But yeah, generally HTIBs suck.

@ZLevee: Onkyo's HTIBs come with the same receivers that they sell by themselves. They're even labeled with the same model numbers.
