Hey all,
I am by no means an audiophile and a lot of the stuff said on these forums blows my mind. My main use is really DVDs, Xbox and the soon to be Xbox 360.
I currently am in the process of upgrading my Home Theater: Here's what I currently have audiowise:
Technics SA-DA8 5.1 Reciever (thing keeps crapping out on me, overloading, digital audio flickering on and off)
Klipsch SB-1 (Front)
Klipsch SC-1 (Center)
Klipsch SS-1 (Surrounds)
Klispch Synergy Series KSW-12 (Subwoofer)
What I'd like is something midrange price wise. These things I see for 1200$ are way out of my price range and probably do crazy stuff that I would never notice.
I've seen some decent stuff with good reviews in my price range and just wanted some options from those who know a little more than me without blowing my mind apart with crazy details:
I'd like something that has component in's so I can do video switching all in one place, at least a few opticals. I just want it to sound good, it doesnt have to be insanely spectacular, but something that i can crank up when i want to and something that will last me nicely.
I was looking at the Sony STR-DE898 or STR-DE899 although I don't even see the difference , also this Pioneer VSX-815 looks pretty decent as well.
Hopefully that will give you the kind of thing I am looking for. Hope that's enough info and thanks to all who respond in advance.
