Some horrible advice given by millercarbon. Will lead to worse results.
WRONG:
Look for Integrated first
Ignore specs, i.e. wpc
Average cost of system elements
Follow that advice and odds of attaining mediocre sound are high. :(
DO:
Separates
X-over in sub
Pay attention holistically to specs
NOT average costs! 40% on speakers, 10% on cables, rest on electronics ZERO on tweaks.
OBVIOUSLY system components synergy/matching is critical.
Not interested in arguing my advice. Pick your authority, and get your results. :)
