What equipment would you recommend?


A friend has asked for some advice. His mother is seeking to purchase a good, but simple to use A/V system. Her budget is $20K.

I have not talked with her personally, but will assume she wants a high definition television. As for the rest of the system I would like to hear about both 2-channel and multi-channel options.

More assumptions. Include tuner as an option. Turntable not required. She lives in high-rise condominium and I will assume she does not want the system to be a nuisance to her neighbors.

I get the impression she would like a "lifestyle" type system of matching, if not integrated components.

Courteous and sincere replies are greatly appreciated. God bless.

If you have not had her listen to some systems I suggest that she does. What does she like and how does she want it to fit into her house? I had an experience with one older relative. I found out that she did not at all care for the overwhelming amount of sound that many of us younger folks kind of take for granted. Also, she was real sensitive to the amount of stuff in her house. Most of the esoteric things I was worried about could of concerned her less! She was very happy with sound from any system (audio) over 4k as most non audioholics are. I actually tried to get her to her the difference in a better system and if was impossible. Seems kind of silly to spend 20k just because it's there but its her $$$.. On the other hand your case might be totally different.
