I can't go a grand, well I could but I'd never hear the end of it, but 600 is not bad at all. The sony speakers will eventually end up in the bedroom. As I said, it's just a starting point.You seems to be a 3D guy, I'm not buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 It's alright axl_on_drums. BS feels the need to overcompensate for his small penis by buying equipment that is not really required currently. Such as 3D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl_on_drums Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 BS has all the makings of a decent set up, he just needs to get some acoustic paneling going on. He may have to move out of his bedroom first though lololBTW, My newest additions, just last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, once you start to see how good most of them look and sound, buying them will be a guilty pleasure Trust me, though, Fight Club needs to be in your first five purchases. It looks fantastic on blu-ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) I don't have much of a home theater system - maybe someday soon. Got my Oppo BDP-93 hooked up to my Dell 24" widescreen (it's also my PC monitor). And from there a cable runs to my Klipsch 2.1 computer speakers. Actually they are great as far as PC speakers go. So long as only one or two people are watching it's fine, but again, not really a proper home theater. But it is high def and movies certainly look good.I've spent more on two channel audio. Got speakers, an integrated amp, and a standalone CD player.very nice. what makes you think you'll be getting home theater things for wedding gifts, though? Well I know for a fact that one of my friends is getting me Sony SSF-5000 speakers.The money/gifts will be a good starting point anway. This summer I plan on bringing the full entertainemnt experience to my apartment. With completion expected by christmas time.Just have to decide if I want to bother with 3D or notI'm a Sony guy through and through, but if you're looking to go all out with your home theater entertainment, get some B&W or MartinLogan speakers.Yeah, Sony isn't really known for making great audio gear. I prefer to go with companies that specialize in it. Though Sony are certainly capable if they choose to make something decent. B&W and Martin Logan are two excellent options...but there are sooooooo many others. PSB, Paradigm, Tannoy, Dynaudio, Monitor Audio, Quad, Totem, plus literally dozens of other companies. If you buy used (gotta be careful) you usually get half off MSRP. It makes buying this stuff pretty affordable. Or buy from an actual store that is selling some of their demo gear, or closing out a line that is about to be replaced with an updated design. You'll get good value and also a warranty. Many stores also carry used components if you'd rather not buy off of just anyone. There isn't much reason why a person can't find a great pair of floorstanders, with real wood veneer, for a little over $500.

Binge_And_Slash Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I got a Toshiba 50" LCD. with a 5.1 Sony Surround sound. I don't buy Blu-Ray, and don't ever intend to, so I have no need to upgrade to 7.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
