No problem, what is your price range? I am pretty into stereo systems and think I have some good taste.

$200-300.

don't forget:
Has the best dolby technologies: DTS, Live, Pro Logic II
Very clear sound
Wide range of inputs (up to 4 analog and 2 digital)

I think the only real problem people have with the system is the fact that the subwoofer/amplifier unit is massive. Though for some other people, thats not a bad thing.

Hell, the sub/amp unit is massive on the 5300e's. I can't imagine how big it is for the 5500.

But then again, I can't piss off the neighbors with a small sub/amp. So it's all good.
