Hey Guys & Gals,
Been an awfully long time. Had my little Yamaha 795a & Polk Audio speaker set up running for a few years now, but now I have to move house. Kinda. I'm moving FROM a house into a VERY small apartment.
Want to make the most of the space, seeings I won't have any. Definitely no room for a RPTV and floor standing speakers, so it's new gear all around! Hooray! Will get a flat-panel display of some sort, and some small speakers.
So... to the point of the post:
I've noticed over the last couple of years the proliferation in HTiB systems, and the idea sounds brilliant for a very small system. Some look OK, some very dodgy. Some have DVD & receiver built in, some don't.
So what can the knowledgable HTFers out there tell me? Is there such a thing as a high quality HTiB?
I like the idea of a progressive scan DVD player incorporated ito a small form receiver with 5 wall mounted speakers, such as the Yamaha DVX systems (The 'p' models, with Plasm style speakers look awfully nice ).
Does anyone out there have feedback on the Yamaha gear, or any other? Or, maybe you can even talk me out of HTiB and recommend some compact components instead?
Cheers,
Sam
