I found these available at CC & BB. - Yamaha HTR-5930: $189 - Onkyo TX-SR504: $220 I would later buy speakers like POLk that sound warm. Which one is better deal? and which one is better for music? |

New member Username: Aam3Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-07 | Hmmm. You are most probably right but that that Naddy is for $479 and way out of my current budget. My purpose right now is to get somethng that will last me a couple of years and then I can upgrade. |

Silver Member Username: Uback007Columbus , Ohio USA Post Number: 204 Registered: Mar-06 | You're going to quick-fix not having an amp now by buying a crap product- them to buy something better later -thereby spending more money in the long run. Listen to the wisdom of someone who did exactly what you are tempted to do only to totally regret it later- thinking that I should have waited a little longer and gotten something that was really special for the money. Learn from my experience, man. Now, save the extra money- don't eat out for a month or something and then bite the bullet and get the Nad 743 we talked about. It will floor you and sound great powering the Polks. Also, stay away from CC and BB, unless you're looking to buy a tv, or something. You're in good hands here, -we're going to take care of you. Breath deep and promise you will stay away from Best Buy. Okay? |

As a kid, my first system I built was a 3 head Kenwood deck, sansui amp and wharfedale speakers. Life changed after that era and now I want to get back. But for now, I HAVE to HAVE SOMETHING!! |
