[QUOTE="JPKII, post: 16199664, member: 12867"] I haven't read this entire thread so I apologize if this has been mentioned: Buy your speakers used. Nothing like a good set of well worn speakers. Like wine they only get better with age. Save more than 75% on halo level speakers. Not much legitimate development in speaker tech in last few decades. Buy your receiver factory refurbished and buy the extended warranty. Save 50% and get the best receiver you can. Buy your TV new. Get the biggest and best you can swing. Too many technology advancement in display tech to not get the latest greatest. My setup is used Def Tech BP2000's, CLR3000 center, BP2X rear. Receiver is refurb'd Denon AVR 7200. TV is, wait for it..., Samsung Plasma. I like the fluidity of the Plasma display. Although the brightness and contrast capabilities of newer OLED, and the like, TVs are making me get itchy. Of course the record player is a Music Hall MMF5.3SE with the Ortofon Bronze cartridge. Heavenly tunes... As others have said; it is extremely difficult to find a good balance between home theater duties and proper 2 channel music listening. You have to know your receiver and speaker set up. And yes, I make changes to my receiver configuration when switching between vinyl and some nasty digital signal. Everything has it's own qualities that you have to find and exploit. [/QUOTE]
