In Reply to: buy used -- really posted by chris e. on May 18, 2003 at 03:22:08:
If it was for me, then both a higher budget and the possibility of used would be in the mix. But this is for my brother's family. Used is not a choice. They are neiither audiophiles nor videophiles. They simply was a "home theater" system. My first recommendation was to go 2-channel, as I know I cna put a decent system together within their budget. But they want 5.1 surround.I will probably try to increase their budget slightly and go for something like a Polk speaker system with a Denon receiver, but even that will be a stretch.
Otherwise, thanks for the response.

You might have him look at close-outs from outfits such as Audio Advisor as an alternative possibility. Not used but still highly reduced and better than paying full retail for a new model (but still good equip that comes with factory warranty). I picked up a Kenwood System 3 DD receiver/amp for about $300 this way for a spare bedroom system -- not bad, came with a nifty rf-based remote/touchscreen, and it retailed at $3,000 when it first came out.Anyway, Audio Advisor (and others) often have a special of the month closeout that might also give some value for the money and avoid the worry of used equip.
