I agree with Avguygeorge. Get a cheap HIFI vcr a cheap receiver. And try PSB Image 2B's I have 2 Pair, Use one pair in my bedroom system which is 2 channel and use it for home theatre. Get stands for the speakers. The 2B's are $250-300.
Poor Man's 2 channel HT--advice sought
I am not interested in building a home theatre system at this time. But I am wondering if can upgrade the two-channel sound from my 13-year old 27" Proton TV, especially but not exclusively for DVD playback. Can I, for example, get a pair of PSB Alphas or Paradigm Atoms and drive them from my TV? Or use the TV's audio outputs to drive an old Harman Kardon receiver I have and use that to drive the speakers? Purely two-channel, no subwoofer, no AV receiver, no new formats, just upgraded stereo sound. I'd like it to be suitable for day-to-day TV watching as well. (TV is in a different room from my stereo system.)
Is this a dumb idea? If not, can anyone offer advice about how to proceed? I want to spend next to nothing on this project, by the way.
Thanks. /dan
