Hi all, first time caller...!
This is my first attempt at a HT setup. Based on the Forum, here's what I'm thinking...
1) own: Toshiba 32A40 32" TV, component in, 750 resolution
2) own: Celestion 9, 3-way (6-1/2", 4-1/2", 1" titanium) 100w speakers for mains
3) buy: Home Theater Direct Level 2's for rears and center ($218)
4) buy: Sony SA-WM40 subwoof ($175)
5) buy: Toshiba 4700 DVD ($230)
6) buy: Onkyo 595 receiver ($375)
Total new cost $998
The setup will be in a 15x15 vaulted living room, 50/50 music/movie use. The DVD-Audio and DPLII are important to me, and the Celestion 9s are bright and defined...
Celestion 9 specs
My main concerns are around the old (1992) Celestion speakers...
1) Will the Celestion fronts jive well with the HTD center?
2) If no, should I move the Celestions to the rear, and just buy HTD Level 3's for the fronts and center?
3) If yes, do I even need a subwoofer if I have the 3-way Celestions as fronts?
4) Best place to buy the Onkyo 595 and Sony SA-WM40?
Thanks alot in advance...
