The OP is starting out and looking at a $100 receiver. Have you no clue how to help him? Like maybe a real world suggestion?
He’s going out of a TV, not a 5 figure TT.
Or some imaginary laptop.
I'm new and need help
I dont know anything about home theater system except I need and AVR and some speakers and can connect them with either hdmi, optical, or rca cables to my tv. Im on a budget so my plan is to buy a used old avr and some bookshelf speakers for the time being and upgrade over time... I have seen a yamaha htr 5830 within my price range and was thinking to go with that and connect my tv with an optical cable.
I can really use some help and would appreciate any tips or suggestions. Thanks.
Millercarbon does the same copy/paste paragraph on pretty much every new Home Theater thread just like a crusade without really listening to what the OP is asking. Kind of gets so old that sometimes I don't reply. The Yamaha HTR-5830 that the OP referred to is a $50-60 used item that is likely 16-20 years old. Even the Sony STR DA-1000ES that dweller recommends is way out of the budget. Based on this budget, I can recommend looking for some used Polk Rti4 bookshelf speakers. They are typically $60-80 a pair used. They actually aren't that bad for the money. Like erik suggested, if you can't afford an HDMI audio/video receiver, it's best to try to use the optical output on the TV to connect to your old AVR (like the HTR-5830). |
