Another Acoustech Based System!

[Hanse18]

I had originally posted this in the Member Systems forum, but the 2 responses (while good and helpful) haven't fulfilled me enough to make the purchase (look at: A 45" sharp aquos with no outside opinions). If this thread is completely out of place in this particular forum, tell me to shut up and I'll go cry in a corner .

I already own a sunfire true subwoofer (no eq) and am replacing everything else with this:

Toshiba 62” DLP Rear-Projection TV -- Haven't decided on model

Yamaha HTR-5890 Receiver -- $469.00 @ FotoConnection

Oppo OPDV971 CD/DVD player -- $199.99 @ Amazon.com

Charter HD Cable Box -- Free?

Belkin 9 Outlet Surge Protector -- 39.99 @ Circuit City

Cables -- About $300 @ BlueJeansCables.com and Westlake.com
(1) DVI -- DVD-to-TV
(1) Surround Audio Cables -- DVD-to-Receiver
(1) Audio Optical cable -- TV-to-Receiver
(??? Ft.) Belden 5000 12 gauge 5000UE Speaker wire
(1) Y cable audio splitter -- Receiver-to-2 subs
(2) Subwoofer Cables -- Y cable-to-Subs

Total Cost -- >$4,000 (Plus Tax and S&H) (minus possible discounts on Speakers and Cables)

What do you think?

Is this what your are going to get?

If so, looks like a great set up. And, this is the right forum for this post. Member systems is for already purcahsed and set up systems. You would have pictures and such showing off your set up.

One thing, how will you run the 2 subwoofers? Or are you not getting the H100?

When are you getting it? Make sure you come back and give us your impressions of the whole system.

Well, I guess I just assumed I was going to wire the 2 subs (sunfire and ht100) in the classic manner -- Y splitter from the sub preamp and then run 1 rca into each sub........ Is there a problem with this?

I have no clue when I will make the purchase because I am undecided on my tv and those things can drop in price quickly. Hopefully sooner that later, because I am dying for some decent speakers. And don't worry, you better believe I will have pics and comments on what I think. Right now I'm more concerned about just getting everything right!

Whoa is right buckeye. Thanks for the heads-up. I just wrote down the best price for the purpose of this thread, didn't even bother going to the site.... just did some price compare on a different website. I guess all e-retailers are kind of hit-or-miss as it is, but I would rather order from someone much more reliable.
