Hi,
I'm looking for input on complete HT systems.
My budget is about $1700.00 for 5.1 or 6.1 speakers; $600 for a receiver and $1500 for a HDTV.
My requirements are that the system do justice to music, too, as well as movies.
Here's what I've looked at so far and am considering:
SPEAKERS:
First on my list:
Aperion Audio's 5.1 or 6.1 INTIMUS system w/S-12 (12") - Soundstage Reviewer's Choice award winner.
Second on my list:
Axiom Audio's 5.1 system using highly-regarded and musical M3ti speakers for front LR and their own 10" sub.
Third on my list:
Ascend Acoustics' 5.1 system w/HSU VTF-2 10" sub. Recommended for music afficionados at cheaphometheater.com
HDTV:
Haven't picked one, yet, but am leaning toward one w/o an ATSC tuner so that I can pick my own later on. Suggestions on the monitor?
RECEIVER:
Outlaw Audio 1050
DVD PLAYER:
Currently own a Technics A10 - don't believe it has progressive scan.
Good? Bad? Other suggestions?
