Thanks Bob. The salesman I know wasn't there today, but the guy I chatted with suggested to do the center also. I had no intention of doing one previous to his advice. He said I may be missing alot because often times that's where most of the voices come from. Frankly I'd love to do without it, not because of the cost, but having to find a place for it. As far as Marantz vs. Pioneer, I just figured the latter would have better synergy w/ the Pioneer speakers. Thanks for the advice on the Blu-Ray player. I didn't realize it could play regular CD's
Which A/V receiver for Pioneer monitor Center ?
Please help an analog guy, but total Vidiot. I want to dive in the baby pool for video. I am looking at the Pioneer mini monitor SP-BS22 and it's center channel. The speaker is the Jones design that's getting all the nice reviews, and with the center, it's $229 for both. For the receiver, I am thinking about Marantz nr1403. So here's my concern- Should I go for a Pioneer receiver, or will the Marantz match up just as well? All I want to do is have better sound w/ my Panasonic Plasma, and use my Panasonic BR player, which I now use to stream netflix. In the future, maybe a CD player too!
Cheers-Don
