Hi I'm a new member. Basically my dad's arguement is that a home theatre system will break down easliy at high volume's. Is this true? Probably not, but to what extent at what price range? I'm guessing $1300+ for a whole theatre set is what my dad is claiming to break at high volumes.
So he's purchased two eye sore's(they really look bad in a home theatre set-up) because they're designed for clubs, or public settings. They're huge, furry, and black, like your standard professional club speakers.
My question is, is it better to spend about 1500 to have digital 5.1-7.1 speaker setup as opposed to 2 analog speakers that are 800 dollars? Are there HT speakers that can handle a consistant playing of satisfyingly high volume output at a $1500-$2000 dollar price range? I think I have to buy a new digital amp either way, and I think paying the extra couple hundred bucks to go digital instead of improving on this old analog system isn't a good idea. My dad's reason for purchasing the system is basically b/c the amplifier is heavy duty, and we should have heavy-duty speakres as well so they don't break down at high-volumes. Loud music playing, loud karaoking, and your standard loud theatre volume stuff. But I would think heavy duty speakers suffer at low level and mid level volumes. While a good digital set, at that price range would perform well in both those areas. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
BTW, the speakers are 300 watts each, which is overkill, i doubt I'd ever use it that loud, I was thinking about 120-150 should be sufficient for home audio, no?
The ceilings on my room are only about 7' feet high, and the room it's in is about 15'(13 counting the kitchen counter) by 19' so It's not too large.
