This system needed to be new components only. Speakers will be located fairly close to walls....one the reasons I went with a sealed design. Also, at $5,000...trade off here and there, was a factor.
This system is for my wifes Doctor (female), my wife got me in to this little project. It's going in a med sized area....finished basement.
1. Sanyo PLV-Z5 projector
2. Carada 110" screen
3. Onkyo TX-SR805 7.1 receiver
4. OPPO DV-970HD DVD player
5. NHT Classic 3.... front speakers
6. NHT Classic 2....rear speakers
7. SHU Research VTF-2 MK-3 subwoofer
8 Energy 25" stands for front and rears.
Cables are not in budget, but will be budget brands. HD-DVD player will follow....at some point?
Too bad you were limited to *new* components, I could have put together a system at least twice as good using items puchased here on Agon. It always amazes me how silly (stupid) folks can be about such things...
Dave, sounds like your just a helpful friend not a dealer. Just remember you are married to this setup. If something goes wrong or needs reconfiguration , you are going to get the call. Not trying to be negative. I had an audiofile friend who tried the same...lots of grief. Just be very careful. Joe
Ya....no grief needed. They are not friends, I've never met them before this, (my wifes Doctor)...not mine. I'm going to tell her that if she is not happy...take it out on my wife! (it was her idea anyway).
I'm not a dealer....just a nice old vintage person.
Dave, bad idea...don't take it out on your wife if it goes wrong. It is not worth it. Tell your wife you don't want to get into the mix. Help find the Doc a good dealer. I think your asking for trouble IMHO. Joe
