    Receiver help

    Alright I bit on the RX-A700, I liked the idea of pre-outs and the price seemed pretty good for what I think I am getting. I also got a pair of BIC Monitors and the Sub, with the intention of listening to the monitors w/ and w/out the sub, to see if I like them and then either relegating them to...

    Receiver help

    Think of it as a long sectional and you wouldn't be far wrong its two couches aligned in an L. It tends to get one person in the middle of one couch (optimum position) and one person at the end of the other: | | TV | {} - - - where the {} is a small end table and I'm thinking...

    Receiver help

    I have two couches that are both often in use and I know (or at least think) that some auto-calibration systems can reference multiple points so that the sound in both spots is decent, though I imagine not as good as just having it in one spot (please correct me if I am wrong). That was one...

    Receiver help

    Alright so I am making the rounds and trying to figure out a decent receiver. I am thinking of getting (with the intent that if I don't like it I can return everything) a pair of BIC DV62sis, a BIC DV62CLRS center and a BIC F-12 sub (3.1 system) and now I need to find a reciever to power these...

    2.1 - 3.1 for ~ $800 help

    2.1 - 3.1 for ~ $800 help

    Hi Everyone, I have a thread over on the beginners forum, but since my question is a little more specific i wanted to see what people would say. Big picture I have about $1000 to spend on a receiver, speaker and subs. I will use it 90% with a tv and 10% music. the viewing area is small, but...

    First home theater

    Ah should also mention I dont really have room for towers given the way the floor plan works out, so it has to be shelf or something that's not all that tall for the front speakers. Thanks again. *edit - So after a short discussion in the speakers thread I think I am going to start with a 3.1...

    First home theater

    Wow, lots of advice thanks everyone. So after what everyone has said I have attempted to re-evaluate what I want/need and go from there. I should mention I do probably 90% home theater with a little music sprinked here and there so that might affect what everyone is telling me, secondly I am...

    First home theater

    Well thats good to know! But that leads me to a second question, if that is the case, then what is a sweet spot for good speakers, for example if I went and tried $100 per speaker and another $200 on the sub (so ~$700) is that going to be dramatically worse than $200 per speaker and $400 on a...

    First home theater

    Hi everyone, So I am relatively young, just out of college with a real job, and decided I wanted to invest in a new home audio system. I have been slowly reading and learning, but all of the options seem to confuse the heck out of me. I don't have a specific budget although I would like to try...
