Thanks! Sorry, will clarify.
1) Looking for receiver (preferably Denon (see above)).
2) Speakers
3) Subwoofer(s) (Don't know if I need 2 guessing 1 will be enough)
4) Will only be used for TV and movies. I have in ceiling speakers running throughout the house for music(that one will run off a Denon too so, another reason why a Denon in this new media room will work out nicely if eligible) . 5) Don't need the sound to knock us off the couch, just want a good crisp quality sound.
6) TV outside of budget is fine. Dont know if I need 8k unless you guys suggest it (no clue when 8k is going to be mainstream)
PS: I'm on a 1gb DSL connection so speeds are fast. I can always double that to 2GB if needed by having another line installed (if any of this matters).
tnx!
It's not a big room so you don't need a powerful receiver. I would be looking at AVRs in the $1k range. Denon is fine as is Yamaha and Marantz. If you are interested in multi-zone audio going from the receiver, that will hike the price of the receiver, of course. As for speakers and subs, the above mentioned SVS and Paradigm are solid choices. For speakers, I would also look at KEF, Revel, JBL, Outlaw Audio, Monoprice Monolith THX, and Monitor Audio. For subs, I would look at Hsu Research, Outlaw Audio, Monoprice Monolith THX, and Paradigm Defiance.
