well, its been about 4 years since i last bought components for my home theater...young and inexperienced, so i thought it was time to treat myself to some fun new components.
After reading through yoyo's exhaustive guide and poking around the internet for a few days, here is what i am coming from and going to:
currently:
32" soyo lcd (1080i)
yamaha htr-5760
kenwood (ouch) 5.0 cheapo speaker set
KLH powered 12" sub (i love this thing)
ps3 connected via component
JUST ORDERED:
Philips 52PFL3603D 52" 120Hz 1080p LCD (sams club has a nice deal here)
Onkyo tx-sr606 receiver
Polk Audio Monitor 30 x2
Polk Audio Monitor 50 x2
Polk Audio CS1
cables galore from mono price (speaker, hdmi, banana jacks...)
KLH powered 12" sub (i love this thing)
ps3 now rockin some hdmi
newegg was just having too good of a deal on the polks. they should do the job until the itch hits again and i can follow my "upgrade path"
one downside is the onkyo wont let you run a PC video output through hdmi for some reason...
thoughts?
will probably take some pictures as time progresses, hoping to do it up nice
