Hi,
Here's my situation: I'd like to own a good sound system to hook up to my television and computer. My television is a Panasonic 24" WEGA, bough it about 2 weeks ago. My bedroom is big enough for it but quality was much more important than size. Another thing, I'd rather buy 2 very good speakers now and buy the rest later than buy 5 cheap ones at the same time... especially since I listen to music most of the time.
Still here? Amazing. Here's what I'm thinking of buying:
Hitachi DV-415 (330$ canadian @ futurshop)
My computer doesnt have any remote control, plus I have to shut it down for the night because of the fan noises.. so I'd really appreciate having a good MP3 player included to have music playing at night. The Panasonic DVD-R31 also looked good, but doesnt seem to understand MP3 directories which make it almost useless to me.
JBL S38BK (400$ canadian & consumer-direct.com)
I heard a lot of good things about these speakers but never actually heard one. I heard the JBL N28 though, which looked incredibly similar, but was not impressed by its sound. Anyone know if the S38 are much better? I'd also appreciate suggestions for speakers in the same price-range (400$ canadian is for the pair).
Receiver
I have absolutely no idea. Any suggestions on which has the best price/value ratio, considering the speakers/dvd player I'm thinking of buying?
Finaly, I'm not sure if this is relevant for the speakers, but I mostly listen to Jazz, Rock, EBM, Psychadelic, Punk, Classic, Goth, Industrial, Experimental.. no rap, country or heavy metal though.
Thats about it I think... Thanks everyone
