At the risk of coming across as pretentious, you'd get better answers if you post this question in the 'Home Theater' discussion area. There's a lot of spill over, but most of the readers of this forum are hardcore two-channel types. Of course, now someone will step up and dispute that... In any case, be cautious about falling into the THX trap. While it does provide assurance that a piece of equipment can perform up to a standard, it is not a guarantee of quality. There are some very good products without that cert that are worth reviewing. Same goes for certain other 'standards'. Find out which ones are really necessary and aim for them. You might also consider starting with a nice two channel system and build from there. You'll get more bang for the buck initially.
Recommendations: poor college kid; NAD?
I have always been into music and movies, expescially when it comes to home theatre. That should be the first thing i say: I am looking for this more for Home Theatre than pure music. That said, I was looking online for a receiver, when i ran across a Denon THX Dolby Digital, etc, etc that got my heart pumping. In the computer lab where I work (and where I was veiwing this piece of machinery), a teacher came up and was telling me about the system he has built thus far, and then recommended NAD to me as a high quality, low frills reciever. I checked out their website and found something with THX, but still that looked like an excellent receiver. What I am wondering is if you guys have any advice on a nice receiver that will support what I want to do, which is mainly watch DVDs. I would prefer if it had that "optical digital input," since from what I hear that is the best way to transport the information, but i might be wrong on that too. Any advice you guys have would be great! thanks!
