Hi all,
Been reading the forum for a few weeks, but this is my first post, so be gentle with me :)
I'm pretty new to this, and am building a home theater system. I've already got my HDTV...(Sony 55" LCD Projection) and will be looking to add a receiver and speakers in the very near future.
Right now I think I've decided on the Yamaha RX V2500, but have considered the Onkyo TX-NR901, Harman Kardon AVR7300 or the Denon AVR-3805. Any input on the good, bad and ugly of these receivers would be welcome, along with recommendations. Have about $1000 to spend on a receiver.
With respect to speaker systems I'm more open right now. I've auditioned Boston Acoustics System 520 (couldn't find any reviews on the web for these), Infinity's TS1100 and Polk Audio's RM6900. Right now I like the Bostons the most, but would like to hear other recommendations from those of you out there. I have about $1500 to spend on a speaker system/cables etc. These need to be asthetically pleasing (i.e. smallish) to fit in with my wife's home decoration ;)
Finally, normally watch dvd movies and HD channels...have a large (mainly rock/alternative) collection of CD's, but this is primarily for tv watching.
Thanks in anticipation!
