I doubt you'll find anything made in the USA within your budget. Maybe 4x-5x you budget would get you something, made in the USA but then its probably still going to have about half of the components sourced from over seas. The Arx...

3 Pair of Arx A1b bookshelfs and a single A1b center would leave you about $800 for a subwoofer. Something like SVS PB12 NSD or PowerSound Audio XS15 would be a pretty nice setup. Might have enough to squeeze in a pair of SVS PB1000s...

Kind of bizarre the HK AVR 1700 only gets 2.5 stars from Hometheater Mag but yet Commsysman recommends it. At the same time, calling many 5 star rated sound quality receivers as junk or not that great. Isn't that kind of backwards?

Quote:Originally Posted by fxt05 Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into those subs but, add a receiver and I'd be quite a bit over budget. Oh I forgot about you having a receiver in that budget too. Maybe 3 Arx A1b bookshelfs...

Quote:Originally Posted by tuxedocivic I believe Bob and Kevin have a good relationship. Perhaps Bob can pickup the Anarchy design from Kevin and sell it. I'd really like a pair of the Anarchy but getting it to Canada is a pain...

Quote:Originally Posted by commsysman You are implying that DSP must be on at all times in the 3490, which is not true. Read more carefully. The same goes for majority of hometheater receivers. Most have a "pure mode" or "direct"...

That sucks. I just bought a Shiva a few months ago and had plans on picking up another one. To me it looks like those models Shiva and Anarchy aren't coming back, they look like they are discounted to get rid of the last of them. ...
