Home Theater
What’s the best home theater system to purchase at a reasonable price?
Getting ready to purchase a complete home theater system and have been looking at Bose but wondering if there’s a system that is just as good but cheaper. Looking for extremely high sound quality for movies AND music. Price range is $2500 total.
I also agree that Bose is overrated and overpriced. With their stuff, you are paying for the styling and the name, and not for engineering thats worth the price. Plus, they do a lot of costly PR.
If you are fine with more conventional audio equipment, then with the budget that you have mentioned, you have a lot of room to pick and choose. There are some great on line sellers who can offer a wide range of great equipment and some very good price deals. If you can, do some on line searches, and then see if a store by you can demo some of the gear.
Not lots of people know that amazon.com sells home theater audio gear. They’re worth looking at. Also, a couple of good on line sellers are Vanns and BPAV.
On receivers, great brands include Harmon Kardon, Onkyo, Yamaha and Denon. In speakers, there are such as Polk Audio, JBL, and Infinity, the last of which I am a big fan of.
I have a system with five Infinity Beta speakers run from a Carver pre amp, so I can say that that Beta line is really great sounding, and, since Infinity is discontinuing it, in favour of a newer product line up (Whose appearance doesn’t do it for me), there are really great discounts available on the Betas.
At BPAV, you can get the floorstanding Beta 40s for $230
each (List price $400 ea), th bookshelf Beta 20s for $110
each (List price $200), and a Beta C250 center speaker for
$110 (List price $250). If you want a 7.1 system, that’d run you
about $1010 for 2 Beta 40s, 4 Beta 20s, and 1 Beta C250.
Add in an Infinity sub from Vanns, model SW 12 for $400
(List price $800), that brings you up to $1410, leaving you a grand for the receiver. All the models I’ve mentioned are in cherry colour. No tax and free US shipping.
On receivers, theres a huge range to choose from. Amazon can get you into an Onkyo TX-SR805 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black) for $712.59, free US shipping.
(I think that amazon now has to charge NY State sales tax for any shipments going to NYS) List price is $1000. Its also available in silver colour, for $704.47.
$2120 would be your paid price, and that’d be for some very very nice gear. If you want the Infinitys, you have to hurry, they won’t last that long.
