well she who must be obeyed will not allow more than $1000 for speakers and amp so this may be the speakers before the 'speakers'
But the main message I am taking is find speakers that sound good to me. Just got to make sure I dont sample any of the top of the range stuff cheers lads
swmbo needs an adjustment mate. $1000 for an amp and speakers is like you telling her she has $10 for this weeks shopping...
Why is it that most women have no appreciation for the finer things in life.
If I had a dollar for every blokes "partner" that ruined their HT install because the speakers had to be less than a micron in size and mounted out of sight and the screen wasn't allowed to be "too big" etc etc.. Isn't the purpose of HT the size of the screen AND the quality of the sound?!
We went 'looking' for some bookshelf speakers as we wanted something discrete (new house, new setup) . After hearing the bookshelf speakers, and then the big brothers, the missus said 'You have to get the big ones, they sound so much better'.....
So instead of getting two bookshelf speakers, I ended up with a full surround setup with her blessing (spending about $1,700 more in the process)
That is the secret. Did the same thing with the TV. Was looking at 42" plasma at the time but swmbo saw the 50" and said it was a much more suitable size She's one of the odd ones out though. She understands that PQ and audio quality are more important than how they look in a room. Though the speakers I bought are very stylish anyway and add to the furniture in the room.
Ive got a RX 75X(something or other), has HDMI, all the bits and bobs, Ipod connector etc etc, more SPDIF ports than I need.
I wouldnt however go Yamaha for speakers..personal preference, but I found them to be rather harsh and 'edgy'. I completely agree..personal preference.
I would recommend this place though..re-conditioned/ex-display Yamaha stuff, that still comes with a 1yr waranty (new comes with 2years)
see sadly nmine doesn't. I drag her out kicking and screaming and her first comment on the 46 Inch sammy tv I am after is
"Whats wrong with our old TV? It has HD and it has another year warranty yet" (old crt lg lafinion 1080i
SHe doesn't get it at all. She will enjoy it but will not allow it
So who paid for the old TV? If it was you throw it out yourself or put it in your computer room/office and have nothing in the lounge or detune the TV when your not watching it yourself.
