This is really too much to ask, but here goes . . .
I am trying to help my dad cobble together a HT system for around 10k. It will be almost exclusively for tube and movies -- very little music, I suspect. He likes that bass. The needed components are:Receiver (or appropriate separates)
Speaks (inc. subwoofer)
TV (he wants HDTV-ready)
DVDA helpful response would suggest how to allocate the budget among the components. A very helpful response would suggest specific components (or brands) within those ranges.
Thanks
Steve
Follow Ups:
If his main interest is video, that's where I would spend the majority of your budget. Audio for HT does not have to be as critical as 2-channel audio. The main reason is the brain is concentrated mainly on the video.For subs, you can choose anything from the HSU up to REL or Bag End. ACI, Soliloquy and Monitor Audio also make some very good subs for the money.
I would suggest that you decide how much of the budget you want to spend on the video portion and then repost the audio request.
I have a similarly priced system in my home and couldn't be more please with it so here goes:
Toshiba 50" TheaterWide TV $3000
Marantz SR-19EX $2000
NHT VT-2.4 & 3 VS-2.4s $3500
NHT SA-3 Subwoofer amp $700
(to bi-amp towers)
Marantz DV-7000 DVD Player $700
(or current model)
Total $9900
Please keep in mind that these are retail prices and I got much better prices at my local dealer. That would leave money for all of the appropriate cables (I'm quite fond of Kimber Cable). For the money, I really feel that this is a tough setup to beat. It has excellent dynamics and plenty of output unless you have a really large room. I was most impressed by the SR-19 receiver and the VT2.4 towers, I'm not much of a videophile so maybe there are better products for the money. The receiver comes with a great remote, and the more break-in time the speakers get, the better they sound-INCREDIBLE bass and impact. If you have any questions, please feel free to email.
