hey guys, im in the process of building a 2.1 system for mostly music listening (90%). im pretty much have my heart set on the CBM-170 SEs from Ascend Acoustics for my mains and im still trying to decide between the SVS PB10-NSD and the HSU STF-1 for my sub. The issue there being which one is more appropriate for music given my small room (a little over 1500 cu ft).
but my real questions, as the title so suggests, is which receiver/integrated to go with. i dont feel like i really need a tuner but wouldn't mind one so im open to both receivers and integrateds; whichever happens to offer the best performance for my somewhat limited buck. id like to spend less than 300 on a receiver and right now im considering the harmon kardon hk3480. im also open to used/demo gear as long as it has some kind of gaurantee/waranty/return policy with it (ie. im not a big fan of spending this much money on indie ebay auctions) im also ok with getting a surround amp (5-7.1) and just using it as 2.1. in fact, i may prefer that in case i ever migrate this system to movie watching and surround sound and also i hear most 2 channel recievers dont have any bass management which could be problematic.
any thoughts on the hk3480? any other suggestions?
thanks in advance =D
