Hi all,
I don't mean to sound lazy, and I'm sure this question has been covered before...thanks for not blasting me...it is my first post and I'm learning as I go. Here is what I'm looking at...
1). Samsung 50" HD DLP HLN5065W
2). Onkyo TX-DS989ver2
3). Onkyo DV-CP701
4). Axiom Epic 80
I'll be buying a house soon and I would like to have this system in place before settlement, as more then likely I won't be able to afford it after I move in...(lol). I would like to have this system in place and be able to enjoy it for some years to come. I've read some articles and posts here and am not impressed with the 3000 hour life expectance of the bulb on the HLN5065W. I would like this system to be the main viewing system of the family, much like the dinner table. I guess a good analogy would be, that I would like a formal dining room set used as an everyday kitchen set... is this possible? I'm having a hard time justifing the investment for only 2-3 hours a day usage. I would like this system to be considered the "Family Room"...Am I asking to much? This is a great site and if ever there was a site that accomodates newbies, this is it...
Also, If you're going to Boston, why stop at New York...what speaker systems out there offer 7.1 that are worth the investment. I mean, if I'm gonna use a receiver that is capable of 7.1 why not take advantage of it? Where are the best places to shop for my buying concerns? Thanks in advance for all those who respond...
