Looking to build the best possible system. $$ is no object.

I have $300 and I'm looking to build a system that will blow everything else out of the water. So what is the best system available? What are the best speakers? Are Bose really the best?
Please don't quote me a bunch of statistics or specifications. None of that means anything to me. Just tell me the best to buy.
And please don't tell me to go listen for myself. That's why I'm here asking YOU. If I wanted to ask ME I'd just think.
So just tell me. What's "the best?"

Instigator!

$300??? I could pull it off....

What? No suggestions yet?
You guys are worthless.
I'm going to ask my momy if I can just have her Bose system.

Just check with the guy who (in best best Farley voice), Liiiives in a white Vaaaan......Down.......... by the Riiiiver! :ciappa:

JSE

Here's a sugestion: take that $300 and spend it on your wife! Knowing you, she probably deserves it. :rolleyes:

Best BB option under $300 :cornut:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1170289604810

Has progressive scan, HDMI, iPod dock, USB input, 80 wt/ch (with only 11% THD). HOLY CRAP ... what more could you want?

It's like the sky has oppened up to let the sun shine through. Look at the pretty rainbow.

Taking geographic proximity into consideration your best bet is to pay a crackhead $300.00 to break in and bogart Swish's rig.

I actually ran into a unit of these guys. I was at the Lowe's in Greensburg Pa about 5 weeks ago, and I'm heading back to my car with my usual armload of Lowe's stuff and there they were. They pulled up in a white ford panel van and told me about this wonderful extra stereo gear they had from a cancelled home installation. I nearly shat. My wife wanted to see the stuff. I dragged her to the car and told her the tale on the way home.
We both had a good laugh.

I feel 12.4 times cooler because I read the AR posts. Now to that 300.00 system......

$300, dang you must be rich.

Duh.....

....an Onkyo TX-8222 receiver @$179 and a pair of Polk R150 loudspeakers for $89 (both at Crutchfield for those prices)...As a CD source: a portable CDP (and I absolutely swear by my $15 GPX which cost $7 after rebate) running on batts 'til I could swing a Philips universal wall-wart (about $12 from Wal-Mart)...Plug a 1/8" stereo mini-plug to RCA adapter (a Belkin or Philips also from el Waldo or a Ratshack item) into the "line out" (Yes, it has a line out jack) and you should be good to go...

Will this sound better and louder than my friend's system? He's always braggin' 'bout his stuff. I wanna show him what a real system sounds like. He's got some kind of controller with amps that he can't even fit inside the same box. How old fashoin is that? And he's got BMW speakers. HAHAHA... Speakers from some car it sounds like to me. And he still uses one of them there a record players. Imagine that. He should wake up and smell the 16'th century.
I need a system that will be much louder than his, to show him what a great audiofile I am.
Will this system you suggest have it's own anteni or should I save my old coat hanger?

hands down :ciappa:

...if loud is what you want, get yerself a guitar amplifier and plug that portable CDP (you may want one with an AM/FM tuner in such a case) into it...Downside is it will be mono, but I can promise you that a 60Watt instrument amp will blow away just about any puny, little hi-fi in the volume department...

You just don't get it. AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think, just by virtue of the fact that he posted this question here in The Steel Cage tells us something... I just don't know what it is. Like I said, he's trying to instigate something...
