Hi folks,
Right now we live in a small apartment and have a small kenwood all in one htib that works ok for this small room. We are moving to another bigger, yet still still small place with a living room of around 18 x 20 ish so we want to upgrade our home theater system so I am here for suggestions. We are looking for a receiver for around 400-500 and I think we are leaning toward, but not limited to the pioneer 811 from the reviews that I have seen on it here and elsewhere. We are also looking for a good speaker setup. We are looking to spend 500-600 on all the speakers if we can. I see that a lot of people reccommend the jbl n series and we are going to go listen to those this weekend. We were thinking of buying the jbl nsp1 speakers and then adding either the jbl n38 or nd310 floorstanding speakers down the road. For a sub, I have seen many suggested. I don't know much about them. Which would be the best way to go with my budget? I see people suggesting the sony, audiosource from ubid, and I see jbl makes a 12" sub as well. Any suggestions on any direction I should head with any of these components will be greatly appreciated. I will be using the system for 30% music 70% ht. I also have xbox, ps2, and cube. I will be watching it all on a 32" jvc D-series television. Thanks in advance for any comments/advice you may have for me!!
