New to Home Theater: under $1000

New member Username: Helloimandy123Post Number: 1 Registered: May-07 | Hi, I trying to setup a Home Theater system. I have gone through many threads and it is confusing more than helping a person like me  . May be I am too new to HT. The one I liked so far is Onkyo HT-S790...everything in a box, But I am not sure whether its a best choice. Should I take Onkyo TX-SR604 receiver separately and buy some better speakers than Onkyo Speaker. Is that a better choice? I heard in this forum that Polk/Infinity speakers are some of the best. Is there any wireless speakers that I can think of for the 2 back speakers in my budget. Please advise. Thanks in advance. -Andy |

The Denon, Pioneer VSX-816 (or 817 new model), Onkyo SR604, and many others, including used and refurbished receivers. For speakers look at the Paradigms, AV123.com X-Series speakers and X-sub, hsuresearch.com, etc etc. Will be better than any HTIB. If you must have HTIB look at the Onkyo THX system http://onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=HT-S990THX&class=Systems&p=i |

With a little research and patience, a lot can be had for $1K. A friend has Aperion and it is impressive. At $800, that doesn't leave much room for a decent receiver. http://www.aperionaudio.com/product/Intimus-422-Harmony,12,35,17.aspx |
