Putting together a budget (as in frugally cheap) 2 channel system, help!

www,amusicdirect.com used to carry a lot of Marantz. You were probably talking about a local shop though. The Yamaha DVD player may be fine though. If it meets your needs give it a listen. What ever pieces you go with you might want to stick with the ones that will accept a return and with no restock fee, in case you get something you just can't live with.

Well now, the Marantz gear does look pretty good, a definite step up from the Yamaha or Onkyo stuff. I like this receiver here" http://cgi.ebay.com/Marantz-SR4023-8...item1c0f660a1a

It's stretching the budget though. Tempting it is...

You could have had a Marantz SR4021 for $219 from accessories4less if you had jumped on it when I linked to it in post #23 of this thread...

I thought about it. Probably not an issue, but the frequency range was 40hz-20khz, and I dunno, something about a receiver that doesn't do 20 -20 bothered me, but not like any of these speakers I'm looking at would be affected. The newer version addresses this apparently. O think ac4less has the 4023 for $299. Not bad either.
