EASY SET UP ALL IN ONE RECIEVER EXIST?
Ok I am new here so take it easy on me. About 20 years ago I was all in with some high end with a nice $5-7k system comprising of MK sub, BK amps and processor, NHT speakers, etc, etc. It was great fun but I was single and had time to fiddle. Thanks to thieves who stole it all and my prized vintage A/D/S system it ended.
Last set up I had was all built in with a modest Sony receiver and the wife would yell at me during every movie to stop playing with the stereo.
Here I am two kids later looking to set up a nice AV system. I know everybody hates the Bose word but what other set up is plug and play with better sounding gear? I know their quality doesn't compare but besides being marketing gurus they have done the one thing that the other Co's haven't and that is listen to the modern consumer.
I am sure plenty of Bose buyers would love better sounding equipment but trying to explain to the wife to switch 3 things on and go through a ritual that involves everything but standing on her head while trying to cue up the latest Spongebob movies doesn't fly.
I do not want to get into an I hate Bose debate. There are plenty of speaker options including HSU and a nice Carver set up for sale here. I know Nad and Linn had all in one receivers a couple years ago and there are some for sale. Problem is the inputs appear outdated.
Anything come to mind where I can get my quality and keep the family happy also. I really think the Co's are focusing so hard on the speaker aspect they are missing the entire deal not having a component that is plug and play.
I am open to any ideas and am one to listen to the die hard Bose buyer to the
$100k speaker guy. I am here to learn. I understand half the fun is the hunt for most but I am ready to buy.
Thanks
Brian
