I'm in the process building a home theater system for my PC.
Does anyone know any good dealers around the Greater Toronto Area??? Someone who can be trusted, flexible with prices, and knowledgeable. I've dealt with kromer radio already since that's where i bought my promedia 4.1 system and they are generally nice but i want to know what else is out there. These are the components that i'm thinking of getting:
Receiver = Denon 1802, Onkyo 595, Marantz 5200
Fronts = atoms or mini-monitors
Rears = atoms or mini-monitors
Center = cc70,170, or 270
anyone know any good deals for these???
Well here's my story. Last summer i put together a nice computer for myself and naturally i wanted the best PC speaker i could get in the current market. After doing some research, i decided to go for the highly touted Klipsch Promedia 4.1's. It was the best speaker set that i ever had, up until the 3rd hour of use when the subwoofer overheated. Needless to say, the sats sounded like tin cans and the once monstrous bass emanating for the hulking sub was a mere fart of its old self. Frustrated, i returned to kromer radio and got myself another one, thinking that it was just a glitch or bad lemon. Two months later when i upgraded my grandpa sb16 soundcard to an audigy platinum, the the subwoofer overheated again. I could go on but to make the long story short, i went through FOUR sets before asking for my money.
So now i'm stuck with my good old Yamaha speakers. They have piercing highs that leave me fatigued after about listening to music for about 20 mins. And that tiny cube that they call a subwoofer can't even scare the ants crawling beside it.
