Price vs. value point


Hi Everyone,

Being rather new here, I'm facinated by some of the setups people have. Even more interesting is the $$$ tied up in them! I'm curious to know what the best bang for your buck price point is for HT. I currently have an integrated Sony amp bought almost 5 years ago, and I'm looking to upgrade. I've paged through the Audio Advisor catalog seeing the Yamaha, martinez, and paradigm amps. While they are nice, I'm unsure if I'll notice the difference between the $3k paradigm, and the $500 yamaha. Sure, speakers play into it alot, and I'm going to upgrading those as well. I'm currently looking at the Orb Audio systms mainly because of size. Not sure if I'm even going about this right...

Suggestions? Ideas?

thx,
mm

I think you mean Parasound not Paradigm. Although Paradigm has a sister company, Anthem, that makes electronics but, I have never seen them at Audio Advisor.

The first main question is, what is your budget?

List all of the components in your system currently.

Are you wanting to stay with an integrated amp/pro?

Have you gone to listen to hi-end HT systems? If so, what is it that they do that your system doesn't, that you would like to have?

I am sure there is something I am forgeting to ask but, answer the questions above and you will get better suggestions.
