I too wanted the Aego 5, i hear a lot of good things about it. The only problem is that Acoustic Energy Loudspeakers are hard to find. If i were you, i would get the system and the processor. Good Luck!!!
home theater in a box?
I need to get a gift for a family member who is not an audio enthusiast but wants a home theater starter. Smallish room and I want an idiot proof set up for about 1,000$. I have looked at the sony, polk, boston acoustics and others, but I am so far removed from this midfi arena I am very hopeful someone in audiogon nation has some experience here. thanks.
