In Reply to: RE: 2-channel HT on the cheap posted by rhizomatic on September 21, 2009 at 20:03:10

Sorry, broke the first rule of asking questions on AA...

So far what I've got is a Panasonic Viera TC-P42G10 and an LG BD390 as the source.

I know nothing about 7.1 or compressing surround sound or what have you. I expect the first piece of advice will be to get a surround sound processor anyway, but for now I really want to keep it to 2-channel. So I suppose expandibility is a concern, but, again: cheapish! I've already stretched my budget to the breaking point for the moment.

Thanks in advance.

The TV must have the same suspension as the rest of your system to match and to get full enjoyment:

suspended on rainbows and the laughter of children.

BTW, your system was one of the funniest things that I ever read.

I have similar hobbies only I do have to travel extensively. It's no longer fun.

The cheapest option, infinitely expandable at a later date, is simply to use the speakers in the TV if it has 2 speakers. That will give you stereo. Just make sure that the BD player is set up to send a stereo signal to the TV by picking the right options in the player's setup menu.

If you want to do it any other way you're going to have to buy either a stereo integrated amplifier or a receiver plus speakers. Most receivers are surround sound so you're buying a lot of channels that you don't need though NAD did make a reasonable 2 channel AV receiver at one stage and may still do so.

The thing is that if you have stereo speakers in the TV you don't need anything else in order to get stereo sound. You can spend money to improve the quality of that sound but if you've already stretched your budget to the breaking point I'd live with what you've got until you can afford to get something a bit better than bottom of the line.
