OK, here's my situation.
I've never really had any nice A/V equipment before. So I really don't know much about this stuff.
We just moved to a new home and I've finally convinced my better half that we need a nice surround system for our living room.
The room is ~20x15 w/ 12 ft. cathedral cielings.
It has a half wall between it and the kitchen, w/ a large opening into our dining room. I had to put our TV in the corner because we have a fire place in the middle of the wall (where I think the TV should go for the best setup.)
So basically I can't setup the speakers symmetrically w/ the TV being in the corner
I was looking at getting a HTIB (onkyo LS-V955 5.1 & yamaha ???1500 6.1 systems)but just couldn't convince myself that the smaller speakers would satisfy me.
I have now started looking at seperates. JBL Northridge series, Cerwin Vega V-600 series system, and an Athena FS2 system(never heard of this one before, but it sounded pretty good at my local BB) Also found Axiom on the web, but am hesitant to buy anything I can't listen to prior to forking over my hard earned $$$.
I have not yet chosen a receiver(or even started looking really, I'm clueless)
Any recommendations on equipment, or if I should even bother w/ my room situation would be greatly appreciated.
Oh yeah, my budget is ~$1000 - $1500.
Thanks in advance
