Nothing that costs any amount of money (like, >$50) is an option for awhile.schan1269 said:You don't have to buy a new one. Since you don't have 3D, you can go as old as Onkyo X05 and Denon XX09/X89. Such as Onkyo 705/805. Denon 1909/989. Denon model numbers get fuzzy once you are back that far. But any 4 digit starting 19 or 3 digit starting 7 is a safe bet. Easy to find Denon... 790/890/791/1911/1910
As I set up what is about to arrive, maybe play with settings and placement a little bit, read some more, and enjoy it, I'll be working out what I want to do in the future.
Right now I figure the next steps would be
1. Better AVR
2. Rear speakers for actual 5.1 instead of glorified stereo/3.1
3. Maybe a second F12. (maybe swap this and #2, depending, as rear speakers really would be a pain here)
That would pretty much be a complete and well rounded basic/budget setup?
Whenever I get to that point the next step would be having a basement in a new house which would pretty much have me starting over from square 1. Which sounds quite fun. Some day...
So this is what I'm looking at for now:
Sony STR-DG520 (had this since about 2006)
Pioneer SP-C22
Pioneer SP-FS52LR (two)
BIC America F12
