Freddy, can you list your stereo commponents....it could help........& speakers. It is possible to integrate HT into your present system. Your budget is more then enough to get you into HT in style and try to match your stereo.
Advice on first HT equipment and setup.
First of all I am a total newbie when it comes to HT. I have been a two channel analog guy for the last 30 yrs. I have no intentions of dismantling my two channel system to make room for an HT system. My two channel stays on one side of the cabinet and the HT will be on the other. When I want to watch a movie my thinking is to simply pull the bananas from my L/R speaker (two channel amp) and plug into the HT receiver. I'm not looking to break the bank here...I already did that with my 2 channel stuff. Looking to pick-up a good used receiver and DVD player. I will also need a center and two rear speakers. My room is 16x24x8high. Budget $2500. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

These should match your L&R Chorus CC700 S Center-Channel Speaker, $450 Chorus 706 S Bookshelf Speaker, $495/pair Chorus SW700 S Subwoofer, $695 This receiver has a room correction and it is one of the best bang for the buck.....together with Onkyo stuff. Pioneer Elite VSX-91TXH AV Receiver ($799 new here) This DVD will keep you up to date with the latest and greatest in Hollywood Production. Toshiba HD-A20 1080p HD DVD player - like new ($200-$250) About $2700 Total.....but you can shop around for less. Good Luck Freddy |
Charles made some very good suggestions. If your budget permits.......or shop used market (great deals). $2500 can get you second hand worth of $5000(more or less). *Rel sub - used = $600 *HT preamp - used = $600 (like Lexicon MC-1 or Sunfire) *2or3 digital stereo amps = $400 (trends audio)or used 5ch amp Spk. cables - Shack Inc. cable - search for AR 130 hard to find (cheap but +++) It is a little over your original budget but it will give you a lot more (sound quality) |
