Howdy ALl! I've recently been introduced to this forum and have been enjoying reading through the archives. I've been asked by one of my buddies with assistance on his HT setup and was hoping to find some advice here.
The room where his setup will be is fairly large and open... it's ~ 20 ' X ~ 35' with ceilings that are ~ 20' high. The room is used for other things aside from movie/TV. Unfortunately, his wife is not all that excited about the possibility of spending a whole bunch o' money on HT gear. She likes the idea of having several speakers and a nice looking TV, just isn't wild about the initial expense. Bottom line: the budget for this task is somewhat limited.
TV: already purchased a Panasonic CT36HX42
Center channel: already has a decent Boston Accoustics center channel (sorry, forget the model number).
Was looking for suggestions for speakers, sub and receiver or amp/pre/tuner. Total budget for these pieces: ~$3,000.
Tough!
The room is large enough that it will likely need a fairly robust subwoofer and a decent amount of power from the amp/receiver. Am having a difficult time with balancing getting better speakers vs getting better quality receiver/amp.
Suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
