I am about 30 days from moving to a house we have been building for almost a year. I thought I had most of the tough decisions over with until I started researching HT audio components and set-up. I had my family room pre-wired for speakers and now I find myself with an undesirable (at least from an acoustic standpoint)two story ceiling, hardwood floor, 20'X 16" room with speaker wire dangling from the walls. I am in dire need of new audio equipment that will help turn a difficult situation into a place where I can flip in a DVD or CD and forget about the $$$ I have spent on the new house.
I have narrowed down my list of HT receivers to Onkyo DS696 or DS697, Denon AVR 2802, or the Pioneer Elite VSX35TX... although I am sure there are others I should consider. A local high-end AV store recommended the Integra (I thought this was basically a higher price Onkyo).
As far as speakers I have primarily been considering packages (afraid of mismatching). Altlantic Tech T70 and T90, Polk Audio RM7200, Boston Acoustics System 9500, KEF KHT2005, Infinity Modulus, and Sony SS-LA500ED/SS-LA505/SAW-D200. The same dealer suggested a Paradigm speaker set-up.
Okay so I have probably not narrowed my list down enough... but I sure would appreciate feedback on what I should do. The decisions are killing me!!
Confused!!
