Hey, bigdaddy, what's your budget?

 

[bigdaddy0130]

don`t have one, that does not mean that have alot of money, but if you must know i would say about 2g`s. i like the polk rti38 and the polk csi40, i would change my surrounds to the polk fxi3 or 5`s. the rti 38(lower -3db limit 49hz, upper -3db limit 26khz. efficiency 89 db and the overall is 38hz-27khz) polk csi40( lower -3db limit 50hz, upper -3db limit 26khz. efficiency 91db and the overall is 40hz-27khz) would you keep these spkrs and get a real good sub, just need some good advice.

For under 2 grand we can hook you up with some preamp processor amp combo, or a bells and whistles receiver.

I paid $800.00 for my prepro/amp combo from Emotive. I'm keeping the amp, and upgrading my prepro in January. Thats the great thing about separates. Easy to upgrade just the piece you want to.

But, with a receiver you get more bells and whistles to play with and screw up (just kidding). Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, Marantz, Integra, and others make great receivers.

Its your call bigdaddy.

I would not do more than $900: Onkyo 805.

ok, how about a denon 2106 with this polk set up, rti 38, csi 40, and fxi3, and all i would need is a sub and i will be ok, but can i find a avr with hdmi 1.3a for under 1,000 dollars. just need some ideals.

Personally I wouldn't even spend $900.
