Hello everyone. I am looking to build a nice home theater system for my bedroom. My current TV is only a 24inch sony flat screen (bought new about 2 years ago). But I plan to later upgrade to a 30inch(give or take) widescreen for the bedroom. My main home theater im not even going to begin worrying about at this point (im only 20).
I consider myself an audiophile, having invested already $2000 in a spectacular 2-channel headphone setup (which should rival $10,000+ speaker setups in many ways). I already have a good dvd source (phillips 963sa). I am very picky about my sound and would like to spend a lot on every component, because i realize how important every component is... but I just dont have the money at this point and I'm going mad without a nice home theater system (i used to live with my grandpa who had a decent setup... i got addicted to watching movies). The setup I want to build will be primarily for home theater and not for music... although there will be occasional music being played... So i dont want to count the musical side out. But I will generally be listening to my headphones for music.
Anyhow, im looking to buy this system piece by piece. Starting off with an amp and the mains. I've alraedy picked my amp out. The outlaw audio 7100 amp with the outlaw 950 preamp , which is rated at 100watts x7 @ 8 ohm (165wattx7 @ 4 ohm). I think that amp should have adequite power for a small room and be good with the speakers that I can afford at this point. I should also mention that I already know which subwoofer I will be getting... which is some sort of an svs sub. My grandpa has a pc+ and its spectacular.
So I want to start off with the mains. I nearly have the money for the amp, so i'll have that soon. So I need to figure out which mains I will choose. Im looking to spend about $1000 on the mains. The prices on the bookshelf/center speaker is not a concern, as long as the mains are appx $1000. So what seems to be the best bang for buck out there for about a grand (for mains)??? It doesnt have to be right at a grand.. Im really looking for something in the $800 - $1400 range for the mains. Any ideas? Thanks!
