Re: home theater setup help
I expect you will get the exact same responses the thousand + others in the same situation, asking the same thing have gotten lately.
Right now, Onkyo, beginning with the SR605, gives the most bang for the buck in receivers. They have been quite popular.
Klipsch is fine. They give good performance for the money and are typically efficient, which can be a big plus.
Go with a sub company for the sub. SVS and HSU are the brands of choice around here. Just search for both brand names and read through the thousands of threads discussing them. Just be aware, they both tend to have rabid fans who are intent on convincing everyone that particular brand is the way to go. Personally, I think HSU gives a bit more raw bang for the buck, but I find their subs to be ugly, so I prefer SVS. The SVS cylinder subs seem to give the most performance for the dollar unless you are looking for the absolute best overall performance, which is out of your stated price range.
Do you really need that big a TV? I find most people spend FAR too much on a TV which is uncomfortably large, then skimp on the audio. Cutting $500-$1000 on the TV and putting that into audio is typically a good move and usually leads to a far more visceral system.
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
