i need a full ht audio setup :T
i suppose all you audiophiles consider this to be a budget setup okay, but the sad part is that of all the people in town i know i wil have the nicest sound 8)
so i need 6 or 8 speakers, 1 reciever, 1 dvd player, uhmmm... cables? other stuff?
ive got an older dvd player and an xbox. i imagine these wont be suitable for this setup or will they be fine?
this is coming from 19" crt speakers so this will surely be several quantum leaps ;x(
thinking like onkyo reciever ~ $200
athena speakers or something ~ ~~~ $xxx
some upscaling dvd player to last me until hd-dvd ~ $100
the room is somewhat small, 12 x 20 or so. im thinking 5.1, maybe you are thinking 7.1 but i doubt it. i can always go bigger later if i wanted to (will eventually move to a new house bigger room).
so therefore the reciever must be capable of 7.1.
and something called hdmi, what is that? do i want it/need it?
also heres something important i want to hear above all. i understand that all technology progresses but some much more slowly than others. i want to maximize the amount of money spent in areas that have reached a technological peak and minimize it in the other areas. this applies to certain speaker types as well. ie: subwoofers get better all the time but the sattelites have been the same for x years.
dvd player is obviously the lowest priority, followed most likely by the reciever depending on what the answer to the hdmi question is? i imagine it is safe to dump a majority of the $1000 into the speakers?
thanks, i know nothing :lol:
