    $6000 To Spend? Help Me Spend It

    I have about $6000 to spend on a new HTS. Just looking for any suggestions on how you would spend it. I need everything, receiver and speakers. Ive read good reviews on the Denon 3805 and what about the Klipsch F-3 speakers. Are these good or would you go with something else.

    Thanks
    God Bless

    Do you need video or is this audio only?

    How big is your room? What do you listen to mostly?

      Right not audio only. Room is about 20 X 15. And I watch more TV that anything, but I do watch movies on DVD.

        FYI, Denon 3805 is great for HT, but not for 2 channel music, just a point to consider.

          So you're looking for a TV, receiver, speakers and a DVD player for that budget? What about CD players, Tivo's etc are those to be included as well?

              IS HT more important then music? How big is your room and could you go for large tower fronts or are you set on small micro speakers (or something in between?)

                Yup, $6K ought to get you a very substantial HT.

                Given your stated usage (TV, not music), and pending your response to room considerations, and without naming brands, you might consider this breakdown of expenditure:

                60% -- speakers, and maybe room treatment if needed.
                30% -- electronics (receiver / dvd).
                10% -- cables, and maybe a modest power conditioner.
                .
                greg (gd to you)
                .
                Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring
                production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

                  I think in that price range I might even scale down on the cables some. Cables are to get that last extra bit out of your system and I think it would be wiser to focus more on the speakers and electronics. $600 on cables to start off seems a bit high to me. You can upgrade those a piece at a time down the road if you feel it makes a big difference for you. But I'd spend the bulk of the $6k you've set aside for now on your major equipment. But, thats just my opinion... cables can be a very sensitive topic on this forum.
