Good suggestions and thanks
Hi Takeereasy,
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I think you've swayed me on the HK reciever. I actually own an 5.1 HK reciever for my home theater, and looked online (at the HK site) at the 3480 but it listed for somewhere between 400-500 bucks so i didn't even consider it. Should have gone to JandR i guess!
The Denon DVD player looks like a great deal, but I'd really like one that would play MP3's as well. I know, I know, the sound quality isn't there on an MP3, but never the less, I've still got a lot of them (headphone listening mostly).
The specs on the MandK's look good too. So many choices.
Do you know of any places on the internet (authorized) that sale M&K speakers? Their website only has refurbished and discontinued items? I live a couple hours from the nearest town of any size so it makes auditioning difficult.
One option that I was considering before i found the full range def techs, was a pair of Axiom M22ti's. Then down the road, when i can afford it, add a sub. But the ability for full range in a bookshelf is enticing. I haven't had enough experience yet to know which would give me the best performance for a music only system.
