Acceptable Sound Quality is subject to what your budget is, so ignore some of the snob comments by other respondents.
I have a dedicated room with all the goodies including 2 Cine Pro 3K6 III's and a full RBH Limited Edtion 7.3 SE package that can compete or beat any system. But if you want to spend $2500 total or need a Bedroom, Living Room or Gym area sytem?
The package I choose was not the AR (which is quite good) but rather the new RBH CT-5.1 sytem. RBH spent less money on the finish and advertising and more on the cabinet construction and drivers.(Aluminum divers and a DUAL 8" sub at this price) It is a few more dollars at $1049 but I was able to get it for a little more than the $799 you had as a target.
It just won the Electronic House 2001 Product of the Year Award!! More importantly it sounds great. Research RBH and you'll find 99% of the professional or hobbyist reviews are nothing short of stellar.
