In Reply to: HT -- are "all - in - one- box" sys a mistake? posted by JDC on December 07, 2002 at 06:42:52:
It's easier to get the whole schmere in one spot, but it's not likely to be all that great performance-wise. Many retailers offer package deals in-store consisting of a loudspeaker set-up like the Energy Take 5 or Klipsch Quintet and a Denon or Yamaha receiver. This makes more sense from a performance standpoint and upgrades the quality level from a Panasonic or Sony all-in-one package system. It'll cost more, but long-term satisfaction and versatility will be worth it.
Follow Ups:
I have the Klipsch Quintet or at least the main speakers. I opted to use my own subwoofer powered by an old stereo receiver I had lying around.
I also have the Denon DVR 1801. So far I am very happy with the setup. Now this is in the HT arena. If listening to music, it's ok. I would rather have my old Yamaha bookshelves for that.
BTW the sub was a Deathbox but is now an Image Dynamics 12" in a sealed enclosure.
