Ah. Got it. Sorry man, that’s not easy. However, the more info you give us here, the better info you'll get back. But, the good news is you have a whole community here willing to help. And I the end, you WILL succeed. But, and this is crucial, what you get back from here in terms of advice is totally and completely based on the accuracy and level of info you give us here. Kinda like the more info you give ur doctor, the better diagnosis u gonna get. So, in that vein, I have a few questions:
- Your budget is not low. You can get some awesome performance at the $3k level. From what you’ve said, you’ve got $3k to spend on an AVR and speakers. So I assume you either have, or have extra budget for or already have, a turntable and subwoofer, no?
- What aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you? Dynamic slam, 3D imaging, tonal richness, etc.?
- BIG question you haven’t answered here, what is your % and/or level of importance between stereo and home theater?
- Try to forget about looks. If u care about being amazed by what you hear, it may very well not be about what looks best.
I’ll get back after you answer these these important questions.
