Hi everyone,
I was just recently turned onto this site by a friend and have learned tons already but thought I'd throw this out here to see if anyone would be kind enough to offer me some advice.
Right now I'm running a PS2, and XBOX, and a Gamecube through a Harman Kardon AVR130 hooked up to five speakers (no sub) that I stripped from old mini-systems. Garbage. I've been in the market for a good 5.1 system that'll give me clear sound for video games and movies, but also give me some punch for music cuz I like it loud. The room they'll be going into will be only 400 sq ft (8 ft ceiling, I think - it's a condo that's not finished yet), but I want to get a system that will still function when I get a bigger place within a couple of years.
As for my budget, I'd love to spend between $500-700 CAD but of there's something that sounds a lot better for a little more (under $1000) I could be pursuaded. It might be that I want better quality than I can afford, but that's why I'm looking for advice.
Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for?
