·Hey, I really need some advice:
I'm looking to buy a whole new home theater set-up that can support 1080p Blu-ray and the new lossless audio. I just ordered a new Samsung 50" LCD, but I need a system to support it.
I've looked at the Onkyo 606, and it looks pretty good, but how does it compare to Denon (I think the 1909 is comparable) and Yamaha? Also, should I go for a cheap HTiB, or spend out the money for separate speakers, like polk audio? If so, which ones? Is there a good ratio of how much to pay on recievers/speakers? :wits-end: I've been looking up reviews online all day and I can't decide what I need.
All in all, I'm looking for the best system just around ~1,000 that can send blu ray movies (hdmi 1.3) to my tv and push out blu ray quality audio (not necessarily THX, but lossless). It doesn't have to be 7.1; 5.1 is fine, and I would prefer if it came with a calibration mic (although REW works wonders...)
Thanks!
