Good places to start are the mid priced used AV recievers and DVD players from Denon, Marantz and NAD. Buy from someone who has alot of good feedback. Call them up on the phone and if you get a good feeling from them, go for it. Speakers are little more difficult in that you need to match you room size, decor etc.. You are doing the right thing in asking questions. Good luck.
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
