After reading in this forum for a few days, I have decided I can put together a better system than the entry level Bose system ($1000 w/o DVD) I was planning to get just one week ago.
So far, I have only ordered a sub-woofer (the $99 DSL 10" from Parts Express).
Plan to get either JBL NSP-1's or Fluance SX-HTB for the surrounds.
System will be mostly for movies. I have Direct TV and will get a DVD for this system as soon as I get it going.
Now the question....
Say I have decided on either of the two receivers below, which were recommended by a Circuit City salesperson:
Onkyo TSR500
Harman Kardon HVR125
Is the KH the better choice for $100 more to get 45 watts instead of 65 watts with the Oknyo? It kind of bothers me since I always thought "more power" would be better, but what do I know? You guys are the experts. What do you think?
