I plan to turn my living room (11.5 by 14.5) into a home-thater for audio and video. I currently have a 57" Hitachi tv and an XBox. I plan to get a universal disc player in the future. For now, I want a receiver and 5.1 speaker system. The one high-end dealer in my area (a long-established, reputable store) recommended the following equipment:
Marantz SR-7500 receiver
Paradign Monitor 7 - fronts
Paradigm CC-370 - center
Paradigm ADP-370 - rears
Paradigm PS-1000 - sub
The system sounds fine but I did not compare it with anything else. The dealer also carries Pioneer Elite receivers and Def Tech speakers.
All thoughts and opinions would be welcome!
Should I go with this system?
What about upgrading to the SR-8500 and/or the PS-1200? Is the sound/feature improvement worth the money?
What about traveling out of area (2-3 hours each way) to consider other brands? Is so, what?
Please help me out!
Thanks,
