Here is the deal. I am going to build a 7.1 system for "The man's room". Money IS an issue. I don't currently have the receiver yet. I have an Aiwa bookshelf system in said room and it is why I am wanting to upgrade. Impressive I know. Anyway, it is all I have. I do have an Onkyo that will do 6 Ohms in the family room but that does me little good.
Okay, this being the case I am having trouble deciding what to do. I had planned on doing Triunes across the front with matching MTs around. But the RS180 MTMs with Modula MT's might be a lot better and cost a lot more. Either way it will be a L/R, Sub, surround, CC, or something progression.
I obviously can't run Nat. P's($$$) with the Aiwa, nor the Onkyo, though these are the most appealing.
The Triunes may run on the Onkyo but leave my room assed out until I get the AVR.
I don't think I would be happy with the 5.25" and silkie MT by themselves.
The Modula MT's might be good and seem to be very friendly as far as power is concerned. Haven't priced them out yet but may still be too $$$.
Maybe BR-1's now but my own enclosures and the tweak on the crossover? Shielded D-III's later? UniCC?
Whatever I do I want them all to match so if I go RS or classic now I will want to do it all around.
I just found out money is even more of an issue while writing this and might have to put it off again. D$&*. maybe I can work some more OT and get something started. I thought about starting the enclosures but am afraid something could change and they would be useless.
Really guys, I want to do something while I have a couple of down weeks for christmas. I just want a good system and have to be careful with the money.
Thank you.
