In Reply to: A stereo guy needs help with HT! posted by Kurt Morgan on June 27, 2001 at 13:32:31:
Here is what I would recommend
1. receiver- this technology changes so fast, todays gem is tomorrow $300 jobbie. Get an Outlaw 1050 for now, $500, well worth it, and when some new thing comes out, you will upgrade without loosing much.2. amps - Personally, I think HT asks cries for tube amplification even more than stereo, because the sources I find to be generally harsher than a well mixed CD. Get 5 ASL AV8 tube mono blocks $500 total. Only 8wpc so you need some efficient speakers
3. speakers- JM Reynaud Twin MK II - get 4 of em. $800 a pair I think, but get a deal, you're buying 2 sets! $1500- 90db @4ohm
(I personally hate center channels, so I am not including one, with mains this good I don;t think you need it at all)4. subwoofer- HSU VTF 2 - under $400 used, $435 new, shipped.
5. cables - start with anything for now, when you get a coupla bucks together go DIY if you are handy. There is no better way to save than DIY cables IMO. If you have more money, but less initiative, check out DIYCable.com and have them do them for you.
I think great speakers are critical. Tubes will work if you use a subwoofer.
As an alternative I would love to suggest nOrh 4.0's all around, but you may need a more powerful amp for them...good luck
