i would look at the theta's out there, specifically the casanova's are dirt cheap. not sure about your interest in component video as most of the tv signals will be passed through any processing as will any signals processed in a player. you will not find better digital at that price imo.
Used Processor for Cheap as Dirt Magnepan Theatre
As a lifelong Magneplanar fan, I would like to experiment with their home theatre speakers to surround a new desk in my office.
For front left and front right I will use a vintage pair of Magnepans, probably MG IBs or taller, but nothing less than 5 feet tall.
I may not ever watch an entire movie, play at loud volumes or use a subwoofer of any kind.
But I would like to create a more immersive, non fatiguing environment for watching televison, multi media web surfing, background music etc.
For each channel, perhaps a Behringer A500, whose virtues as a dirt cheap monoblock have been well praised in another thread.
Can someone help me complete the idea with the best bargain for a surround sound processor on the used market?
Or any other ideas for a system/application of this kind?
Thanks for any ideas.
