(I am trying to stay under $1000)
Right now I am leaning towards the 54TX, I see the only review on this site is poor due to problems recording dvd's... I was hoping someone could give another opinion on this unit compared to the others I have listed...
this system will be mostly ht, but also will play music (probably 60/40 ht/music)
the speakers I have decided upon for fronts are focal jmlab chorus 716 s.
the center and surrounds will also most likely be from the chorus s line as well, but I have not decided if I want the 716's for surround, or if I am going to use one of their their smaller sets.
thanks for any advice,
Mike
And I've yet to have a problem. That being said, Denon makes some pretty good receivers along with Yamaha, and Harmon Kardon. I'm not familiar with your speakers but I know form my own experiance that the Pioneer Elites WILL handle 4 ohm speakers with no problem.
As to your other question about speakers;
The ONLY reason I would choose for going with matched speakers for mains & surrounds is for multi-channel audio. If that's what your putting this system together for then I would consider it. It is absolutly NOT nessasary for Home Theather.
