If you really want  to go  wireless for the sub and rears then I think
you're best bet for anything  close  to the  price range is the Vizio
soundbar.

The  wireless  tranmitter/receiver sets will be about $70+ and you'll
need two of  them.  So you're already up to about $150+ before you even
get  started.  To  answer your question about power most sets require
power  at the  location of  the speakers to power the wireless receiver.


You can also add in a new sub to  your shopping list as most of  the subs  that come with HTiB sets are passive  and  are powered off  the main unit.   This will  not work with  a standard AVR as they are  setup  for an active (powered) subwoofer.   This is exactly the case that you have with your samsung HTiB set you  currently  have.   So  you're looking at about $125+ for a new sub.    

Now lets talk about  your AVR.  The Sony you  have is old but it could
work if you're only going to use it for audio.  It does have a  few
optical inputs which is good but it has not HDMI inputs.  The point  of
the AVR is  to switch from source to  source in  your case you  would
have to  do  the audio  separate from the video.  Again if you're going
to use  it like  a soundbar and only hook up the TV  you're ok...if not
then you'll need to upgrade  it.  We're  talking about $200 for a nice
refurb unit.


We  haven't even got to the speakers and we're already up to almost double your budget.  That is way I said the Vizio  is about  the most cost effective way to go.   Also keep in mind that wireless and sound quality do not go hand  in hand.   I'm  not trying to be  a downer  here I  just  wanted to  point  that out.   I don't think it would be that hard to run some  wires around your room but that's just me.  If you want to  go down the  whole new 5.1 system feel free to ask  questions.   

Budget build option would  be use the AVR you have,  get a new 5.1
speaker  set and roll with it.  Add in wireless if you like  but I
don't think  I  would.


TLDR: Vizio is the best  option for cost, possibly not  the best for sound.  Wireless is  possible but will cost money.

Title:
  SILO fails on cd installer boot for SUN T2000 servers

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  When attempting to install Ubuntu 10.04 on a SPARC system the SILO
  installer fails - initially thought this might be a faulty ISO or CD -
  changed discs, drives and made new discs from ISO's for both regular
  and alternate installer discs - always fails at same place as per the
  following:

  {0} ok
  {0} ok boot cdrom
  Boot device: /pci at 7c0/pci at 0/pci at 1/pci at 0/ide at 8/cdrom at 0,0:f File and args:
  SILO Version 1.4.14
  ERROR: Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss

  {0} ok

  
  Is this something I'm doing wrong or is this a known issue?

  ISO's used:

  ubuntu-10.04-server-sparc.iso
  ubuntu-10.04-alternate-sparc.iso

  Server platform:

  SUN SunFire T2000 - 16 core SPARC with 4Gb ram 80Gb hdd and DVD ROM
