New to the forum. Just bought an HD-20 and going to be setting it up in a basement with complete light control. My only real problem right now is the echo from the brick walls and cement floor. I'm going to be building a custom screen and also putting together a sound system in the next 3-4 weeks.
Thanks Mechman! I think I am going to build your screen but with designer white. I was looking at how you built your frame. I really like the backlighting with the rope lights.
Well I might be skimping on the custom audio side. Right now I'm pretty set on the Denon/Boston Acoustic combo in a box (DHT590BA)for around $600 at Best Buy. I don't want to spend any more than that and it looks like a good setup for someone just getting into it.
Hi and welcome aboard, That combo will do for the very short term but you will find you will want more and will be upgrading sooner rather than later. We generally dont recommend spending anything less than $1200 on a system that includes a sub 5 speakers and a receiver. See here and here for more details.
That's why I liked that combo becaues I figured the Denon reciever would last and I could upgrade the speakers later starting with the fronts and center. I like the Audyssey Dynamic Volume on the Denon as well as the HDMI switching (pass through). I dont' really care about any video upconversion since I will only be using my samsung blu ray player and direct tv (with some occasional wii but that video quality sucks anyway).
