Okay...I can't possibly read everything there is to read...but I've tried and now I'm going to ask for help. I just purchased a Samsung ln52a650 tv and now I'm trying to build a system around it.
The Room is 18 x 20 ft with 18ft ceilings. Drywall walls, carpeted floor, leather furniture. Windows on most of one wall. A built in cabinet with doors will be holding the equipment. The TV mounted above the fireplace in the center of the room.
I'll be listening to music and watching TV/ Movies equally and will probably add a game system and a DVR in the future. I'll also be driving another pair of (outside) speakers from this unit.
I have 4 kids and a beautiful wife that I would much rather play with than spend all my time tinkering with a sound system. (As if I have a choice)
6th ave has a Denon AVR 2309ci with Denon dvd1800bd blu-ray bundle for $975 delivered. Seems like an adequate setup for what I need. Keep in mind that I will run this system until it quits working. The Kenwood I received for my 16th birthday finally died last week. (Now I'm 45)
Speakers are the big question in a room this size. Suggestions?
I have about $1500-1700 for the receiver, blu-ray player, and speakers.
Please tell me what complete system you would buy with that budget. Thanks in advance.
