You can get a good deal on multi channel amp and pre pro processor at outlaw audio. 5-channel amp, two hundred watts per channel $1299. preamp processor $899. They have a deal going on right now at their web site - Processor+7 channel amp $2500. I hear they make good gear for the money. That would leave enough $$$ for 5 speakers. If your room is small you would not need real big speakers.
HT advice
Hello:
Let's say I'm budgeting 4K for a home theater system. What speakers & receivers would give me the best bang for the buck, or am I just kidding myself at this budget level?
I have a small, cozy listening room with a 27 inch Sony Vega TV and a Sony SACD/DVD unit. My speakers and receiver are obviously outdated and not HT ready.
Musically speaking, I'm into prog. rock, acoustic/electric guitar soloists, (Bensusan, Hedges, Juber, Keaggy, Shawn Lane, Eric Johnson, etc.) some fusion, little or no jazz or classical.
So far, I've only auditioned Vienna Acoustics Bach, Haydn, and Waltz speakers at a local Tweeter,(no, the salesman didn't try to sell me a pair of shoes :) I really like what I heard and the rosewood look is stunning.
Theatrically speaking, Sci Fi, horror, concert, and anything with good acting and cimematography.(what a concept)
I thought this would be a good forum to ask for advice and recommendations.
Thanks
