Well, I got Sonnie's email and decided that I should post here instead of just lurking!
Some of you guys know me from other forums and know that I build custom speakers (mostly for myself and family at the moment) so I'm covered on that front. And I know receivers and dvd players fairly well. What I don't know is what type of receiver/dvd combos are out there. This will really be for a small music system in the formal living room which my girlfriend will be using as her reading/relaxing room. I'll build her some small bookshelf speakers that will literally sit atop a low bookshelf but I need a receiver and CD player to go in there as well. I've used a Sherwood Newcastle unit that has nice binding posts for the speaker outs but it runs $600. I was hoping that I could find something along the lines of $200-$300 that might work well.
Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated!
