We have a jury rigged home theatre setup with a Toshiba TV, a Sony DVD/SACD player, and a Janis amp/crossover/woofer. I find that one really needs the woofer in this sort of minimalist setup. I agree with Lthkeepr.
Two channel home theater set up
I am thinking of setting up a two channel home theater in my family room. I have an 80 wpc kenwood receiver but need advice with the DVD player and speakers. I am looking for some two way monitors ($400 max) and a DVD player with virtual or tru-surround capability ($300 max). The monitors should have >90 db sensitivity since my receiver is current limited and they should reach as low a frequency (45 hz preferably) possible since I am not planning on installing a subwoofer. Feel free to comment and suggest any speakers.
