Hello everyone. Yesterday, I popped on here for the first time, looking for answers: What system would be best for me ~ $2000. After a little searching, I decided to post a thread. But, thanks to this forums ingenius functionality, it immediately recommended similar threads.
Unfortunately, that just confused me even more than I already was. There's just so much to consider...and I don't know sound systems well enough to understand what's best for my needs.
We're having a new room built in our house and looking to put a large TV and sound sytem in it. It's about 25' x 20' in dimensions. Originally, I thought the Bose V20 system was top of the line. But, that thought was quickly squashed by all the threads I read about how there's just as good/better equipment out there for less.
I've only been searching around for a few hours so far, but I haven't been able to find a complete system that is as integrated as the Bose V20. I like the idea of having just the display out in the open.
However, I'm the kind of person that wants the best (for what I can afford). And if the Bose system has holes in it's audio quality (in comparison to other systems), then I want to pursue all my options.
So far, the information I dug up indicates that Klipsch has a VERY nice set of speakers, the Quintet III (?) along with one of their 10" or 12" subs. I already read about the Onkyo HT-SP908 setup and that their recievers are pretty good.
But, I must admit, this is all a little overwhelming.
What I want is simple (I think): A very good sounding system. Something that can play movies and music (CD's, DVD's, Blue Ray's, MP3's). We've already got a PS3, though we may decide to add a dedicated Blue Ray player, depending on how much the sound system costs.
The Bose V20 is appealing due to the integration. But, sound quality is more important if I can improve that for the same price (or less).
Can someone recommend the components (or an all in one system) that might work best for me?
Thanks.
