Ok, so I have decided to get a nice home system.
A little background information.
Currently I have this in my car:
alpine cde-9843
hifonics zx 6400 amp
1 IDQ12 D2
CDT Audio CL-61A 6-1/2
This was recommended to me as a budget car SQ System on this forum and I am totally pleased with it. The price on it was just right.
Listening to Coldplay's "Clocks" and when the bass starts playing it sounds unbelieveable.
At any rate, I would like to get the same kind of good deal/information for the home setup.
What will I be needing?
Receiver
2 speakers
sub
box
amp?
anything else?
What size sub? I live in a condo and the room where this will be going into is 19 x 12.
For the budget I would like to spend as little as possible.
I will mostly used them for listening to music (CDs). I would also like to once in a while hook them up to an xbox360 and also watch DVDs. But music will be the main priority. I would like to get floorstanding speakers.
What do you mean by "later expanding" as related to the receiver question?
As in adding more speakers?
From what I have seen so far most receivers now days are 7.1 systems.
I heard good things about Onkyo, so I will probably end up getting a receiver from them.
Couple questions:
1) Exactly how many watts per channel will I be needing in a 19x12 room?
Would 65 watts be enough? 75, 85? 100 would surely be too much right?
2) If you, or anyone else, could help me pick out a system out of
www.circuitcity.com that would be great. I have a friend who works there and I could get a nice discount on all of the items there.
How good are Inifnity, Polk and MTX floor standing speakers and subs, as well as Speco, Telarc and Dual subs?
