Hi everyone! I need opinions on a HT setup for the trade off between speakers and equipment.
This is what I’m building with speakers.
Front - 802D
Center - Htm2D
Surround sides - 804S
Surround rears - 804
Sub - DD-15
The problem I’m struggling with is how much amp and processor and what would be the trade off between 802 & 802D’s and htm2D & htm1 or htm3 versus spending more money on equipment.
I have the 804S, 804 and DD-15 already but wonder what the trade off would be to save money on the rest of the speakers and spend it on equipment?
With my budget if I go the 802D htm2D route I will have about $3,500 to spend on amperage so it looks like the rotel RMB-1095 and RB-1080 using my denon AVR-2807.
If I go with Nautilus802 and a htm1 I would have about $7,500 to spend on an amp and processor.
To further complicate the situation I’m disabled and trips to the stereo store cost about $75 a crack so I depend on reviews and forums to educate myself. If I get a new processor it has to have video up converting and some form of speaker equalization. My denon has Audyssey MultEQ Auto EQ Setup System and it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Surround sound is so uniform and balanced I refuse to be without it and with a 60 inch hdtv video upscaling is a must. All equipment and speakers purchased will be used from now on so if any of you are upgrading feel free to contact me if you have something I might need.
So let’s have it guys! Speaker quality or equipment for an over all best bang for my buck.
Thanks in advance for your opinions!
