But from what I've been reading so far, you may want to adjust your receiver to speaker ratio if your budget is $1k. I love my new Harmon Kardon 635 that I got for around $500. But you may be better off getting a less expensive receiver and allowing yourself more money for speakers. I am sure someone with more expertise will chime in and give more detailed advice. |
