This is just dreaming right now, but it is soon to be a reality. Any hints or tips are appreciated.
What I am starting with:
Eosone RSF400 front speakers
Energy e:XL15 bookshelf speakers
I bought those a long time ago and they are in perfect condition. That's basically all I have to work with since I am going to replace everything else I currently have.
What I am thinking about getting:
Pioneer VSX-D810S receiver
Onkyo DX-C380 CD changer
Polk CS245i center speaker
PSB Alpha Subzero subwoofer
Toshiba 36A41 TV
Sony DVP NS700P DVD player
My spending limit is $1000 (credit card limit) so I tried to pick quality items that would not break the bank. Obviously I can't get everything at once, so I'm going to have to pick and choose what I get first. I don't really want a SACD or DVD audio player so I chose the Onkyo model above, but if anyone knows of a good/better cd player let me know. The polk center is chosen because it is supposed to match the Eosone mains I have (obviously not exact but I believe that Eosone was connected to Polk in some way). The Toshiba is just a grea looking TV. It has 850 lines of horizontal resolution and looked better than a lot of the flatscreens I looked at (the others were out of my price range). The DVD player I am not sure about. That model has great reviews but I was also looking at the Pansonic RP-56 and the JVC XVFA65GD. Obviously I don't have an HDTV so I don't need progressive scan, but I think it's nice to have if and when I upgrade again, plus they have come down so much in price it doesn't really make a difference.
Well let me know what you guys think about my choices.
