What is the best home theater surround system?

I am getting a new 46″ Samsung HDTV and want a home theater system with it. I am looking to spend less than 700 although higher priced recommendations are welcome. I also want one that is WIRELESS because I hate fussing with cables. I will also be getting a PS3 Slim so I don’t see the point of a Blu-Ray Player.

The system I recommend is the Onkyo HT-S5200 (receiver 7.1 and a set of 7.1 speakers) for under $500. Wireless speaker are more expensive if you can find them in higher models. I don’t like them due to interferance from other equipment you might have. Even at the very high end in audio, you will not find them. You can the Onkyo system at Fry’s Electronic’s. Hope this will help you out.
