So, I am looking at getting a new home theater setup. Have a real old DVD/All in One that is probably 5-6 years old and need to replace it.
Have a Blu Ray already, so don't need a system that has one of those.
Any suggestions on brand, etc to look for? I am not an audiophile or anything, but want something that will sound good and be "future proofed" for awhile. I have been looking at a couple of Onkyos and Denons, but don't really know what the "must have" stuff to look for on them. 5.1 vs 7.1; can the audio and video go through the same HDMI cord (I have read that some systems require an extra cable or 2 b/c the HDMI would only let video go through), etc
The room is roughly 12'x13'.
I'd like to stay around $500 or so since I am getting rady to start grad school. But am flexible on price somewhat.
I've looked at:
-ONKYO HT-S3300
-YAMAHA YHT-493BL
-DENON DHT591BA
-ONKYO HT-S5300
I know getting components separately will give the best sound, etc, but on a budget the HTIB is the best way for me to go at this point in time.
