OK I am not a complete newbie, but on this I need some help. Basically, my dad(going on 80-God Bless) had his one-in-all mini HT blow on him. Basically, it was a one shot Aiwa set with everything except the Dvd Player included. So he loves my set up( Diva 6.1 for L/R and C3 for center and Axiom for rears), not to mention the H&K AV8000, the Parasound HCA-855A. So he calls me from sunny and warm Florida and tells(not asks) me to get him something of good quality-in the same breath he also delivers the message that he went to a local b&m store and the "Bose was expensive-$600"-hope this is not against the rules. Now he is not without funds, I mean he could afford much more. He also wants to go the separate route( didn't want to mention Lexicon to him though-LOL). What would you gals and guys do? If this was your dad. Alll the wiring is done so basically just get the components and the interconnects. Any input appreciated.

Have Pop blow your inheritance and do it up right!


If he likes your setup, it might be a good idea to buy something similar. It will also help you when you have to provide technical support over the phone at 10 PM on a Saturday night. But I think you'll have to make a trip down and help him select the components and get it installed.

Thanks Randy-need some more info as to a good package-Looked at Axiom and Rocket packages they look good-any thoughts on them?

that is one sentiment I can agree with 100% every time my dad asks for my opinion I say the same thing. Our parents worked hard for their money, and I think it is for them to enjoy it.


An other idea (if you are thinking of upgrading) is giving him your equipment or selling it to him. Makes a good excuse to upgrade.
