Hello Monkey Kibble! "High End" does not have to mean "epensive." It should mean "high performance." Used receivers are available at very low prices. Look for Integra (Onkyo's premium product) receivers. I have several of them and never paid more than $200 for one. I give them away to beginners and keep the best ones for my home systems (I have five systems in the house.). Golden Ear makes great speakers for the $$ and can be found used if you hunt carefully. Wharfdales are underrated and can also be found at good prices used. You're in a good place to find used gear. Good hunting for good listening.
Need help! First step into high end audio
Greetings! I have a LG55OLEDC1, first time having a semi fancy TV and am looking to get a fancy audio set up to match.
I am in New York, and looking to have the primary use be movies and gaming, followed closely by music. I’m fine with starting small and adding on bit by bit until it’s all set.
There are so many options and am a bit overwhelmed. Looking to go as close to 2k, mayyybe 3k at the high end.
Any suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated. A home theater company suggested bowers 600 series and starting with Left/Right/Center to start.
