I agree with Rsuminsby. Get something like a denon 3801 receiver and the B&W's all around. Don't skimp on a dvd. Technology changes too fast. Buy a denon 2200 for around $500 and you should be future proofed for a long time.
Need budget recommendations to complete my HT.
Here is what I have so far.
(2) B&W 300 Series Bookshelfs. I dont know the exact model number, as I bought them about four years ago and the model number can not be found on the speaker itself. They seem similar in size and features to the DM303s.
(1) Energy XLS-10 Powered Subwoofer.
(1) InFocus X1 Projector
------------------------------------
I definitely need:
(1) DVD Player w/ audio quality being important, but video being more important.
(1) A/V Receiver (5.1 is plenty, 6.1 is over-doing it, 7.1 is completely unnecessary)
(2) Rear Surround Sound / Satelite speakers.
I may also go with:
(1) Center Channel Speaker
(1) Seperate Amplifier (and use A/V as pre-amp) - but remember this is a budget system.
Things to keep in mind:
- The InFocus accepts up to 1080i via 15pin VGA (I have an adapter that converts component to VGA)
- The InFocus features the Faroudja processor.
- The room is a small living room
- I will be using the HT for the following purposes:
60% Console & PC Gaming
20% DVD Movies
20% Music Listening
- I listen to mostly techno or other hard-bass hitting tunes - however I enjoy vocals so having good sounding vocals is very important.
Hope thats enough info to make some recommendations!
Thanks ahead of time for helping me out!
