Luckily (or unluckily) for me I tend to do a lot of research before I plunk down the benji's ... short story, I haven't had a good system in about 6yrs. I'm overdue for a decent AVR / floorstanders / center /amp if necessary , and move on from there to pick up some surrounds when I can work the logistics of cabling (dont ask).
My mind is a whirl of DenOnkyoLogan824's to put it mildly
I was looking at a denon 1911 with an energy 5.1 classic take...
which turned into Klipsch speakers with a motion 6 center.... then Motion 10/12.... then oh wait the 1911 may not push those because they're really 4 ohm.... ohm's... oh for frak's sake I remember that crap.... look in onkyo... get scared off by excessive heat.... dont wanna smoke a new AVR .... amp maybe... ohhh emotiva looks sexy... hrmmm lets see if we can find an AVR that'll drive the motion 12's without having to add $$$ for an amp..... well damn... prob cheaper for 2 channel amp... oh listen to that... the B&W's sound good too.........
CALGON!!!
TAKE ME AWAY!!!!
/me Keels over twitching on the floor
help
avr turned into the 2311 then the denon 3311.... at that point I'll be piecing it all together over a few months including decent speakers..
/me keels over again.
CLEAR!!!! zzzZZZTT!!!
ok... so I'm looking for something decent in an AVR that can upscale, handle 3d, and maybe have some pre outs to push some decent LF RF's in the 4 ohm range in concert with some surrounds in the long term.
