I have a PS3 which I stream video to and play blue ray movies. I'd like a receiver and speakers but I have no idea how much money I should spend for something good. I once went and bought a Home Theater in the box and the sound quality was terrible so I returned it. Does anyone have any recommendations for brands to stay Away From and good systems they have run across? What does wattage mean? How can I tell if a system is good?
I would recommend you

Behringer's B212XL loudspeakers take everything musicians love about the original B212 loudspeakers and upgrade them with the same bass and treble/mid transducers found in the popular B212A active version, for even better sound and power handling. And with integrated overload protection circuitry, they arrive ready to push it to the limit without putting their high or low frequency drivers in danger. A high-power 2-way PA sound reinforcement speaker system for live and playback applications. Click here for a larger image Loudspeaker feature diagram. Click here for a larger image Triumphant Transducers Every stitch of these loudspeakers is built to deliver, but the fact is that their transducers (woofers and tweeters) are the only part you actually hear. While some manufacturers are okay with putting off-the-shelf transducers in their boxes, Behringer custom-designs and builds theirs from scratch, winding the voice coils, machining the frames and backplates, and even growing the trees that are processed into the paper pulp that becomes the cones. Big Sound Without the Big Price Tag Big here, small there, lots of this, light on that—everyone's got their own sonic preferences, but the EUROLIVE B212XL has proportions everybody can agree on. These loudspeakers pack a clean, punchy wallop, and can handle up to 800 Watts. They are easy to lift by their recessed handles (24 lbs), so they won't do too much damage to your back or your wallet. Stand-Mount Versatility The B212XL is perfect either as part of a PA system or as an onstage monitor. If the situation calls for a PA, mount the speakers on stands via the 35mm pole socket. From there, send a line from the MAIN OUT of a mixer (such as a XENYX 1202FX) to a power amplifier (like the EUROPOWER EP1500). Finally, attach a B212XL to each of the amp's outputs. These loudspeakers have inputs for both professional speaker cable and 1/4-inch cable. Because they have two parallel inputs, you can connect up to two of them to any channel on a power amp. But these loudspeakers don't have to be confined to an upright position. Just lay them on their sides for use as a floor monitor. You'll find that they tilt to the ideal angle for onstage monitor wedge applications. Choose White or Black and on or off the Wall Behringer offers B212XL loudspeakers in black or white, and also makes optional swiveling wall-mount brackets. That means they're ready to fit even more comfortably into a venue's color scheme and layout. What's in the Box Behringer 212XL Loudspeaker, User's Manual

Finally, Setting Up for the Gig Just Got a Whole Lot Easier! One of the coolest things about active loudspeakers is the lack of all the backbreaking racks of amps, crossovers and EQs that are often required to make passive systems sound almost as good. But that comes with a trade-off --that extra weight is transferred to the loudspeaker, making it difficult for a single user to heave all that mass onto a speaker stand. By utilizing switch-mode power supplies and Class-D amplifier topology, the new EUROLIVE B312D and B315D loudspeakers provide 28% more output power (550-Watts) and still weigh 10% less than our best-selling B312A/B315A systems.
