I have recently moved into a new house with my family. The house is finished apart from the cellar and as my kids and my wife love movies I decided that I want to surprise them with a movie room down there. I just don't have ANY idea where to start, what system to take, what companies to look at, etc!! I have heard a couple of times that the Denon home theater systems are quite good http://www.systemtheater.com/Denon-home-theater.php, but I don't know if you would recommend them to a newbie like me. I would be really grateful about some suggestions where to turn to!! I have already been to some shops selling theater systems, but I always felt that the sales people didn't accurately inform me but just wanted to sell some stuff. Thanks a lot, Paul |

I several questions: Is it just for movies or is this a music system Too? If your just doing entry level, Costco has a good system for around 500$ (Denon)If your system is not doing music, more money in not neccessarily going to give that much more sound. Video application: How high-tech are you going? 1080P? 1080 I, Nom-High-def? don you want your reciever to control the rest of your equipment? Let me know, and we can get a little more specific. your friend, Db |

Concerning the budget - I want something decent and of good quality but nothing too over the top. I just plan to use the system for movies. I have thought about 1080 I and I definitely would like my receiver to control everything. Thanks :-) |
