Aug 15, 2001 7:55 AM | | Here is where I stand right now.
Receiver: Denon 3802
Main speakers: Sonus Faber Concertinos
Center speaker: Sonus Faber Solo center
Rears: Infinity IL-10
Subwoofer:9 year old Aiwa sub(sounds best when in the off position)
CD player: 9 year old Technics
DVD player: Toshiba 1200
Television: 43 inch Hitachi HD television
How I feel: Love the reciever and will stick with it for a few years(or so I think). I'm happy with the Sonus speakers. Ultimatly I want to move the Concertinos to the rear, the IL-10's to my bedroom and buy the Concerto home(or equivalent) for my mains.
How much I have in my budget: $500. I could spend it or save for better future purposes
What I want(In my book all have an equal level of importance so don't confuse my disdain for the subwoofer with need. I'm not a base dependent person):
1.)A new subwoofer. My current one is used mainly to scare the cat.
2.)A new cd player so that I can move my current one to the bedroom
3.)A SACD or DVD Audio player if it's worthwhile
4.)Progressive Scan DVD to go with the television
5.)A two channel amp--only if experts deem this necessary with the Denon
6.)Better cables---All my cables are cheap
7.)tivo--wish list
8.)Another set of speakers for 7.1 sound
Like I said I could spend $500 now and not feel guilty(well kind of), but I am also willing to put some money aside and wait for closer to high end products. I was just curious what others would do if they were in my situation. I'm new to the game so product suggestions would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance. |

So just kick back and let some time go by and see what you reaaly need and get the best one in your price range. |

Aug 15, 2001 10:37 AM | | Either get a HSU VTF-2, Adire Audio Rava (Dharma can be had for $550 right now but I could be mistaken on that), or a SVS 25-31CS and something to power it with. If you have something laying around the house you can use as an amp, get the 20-39CS. That will make the biggest improvement in your system. |
