hi everyone, I am new around here and this is my first post.
Let me give you some back ground on my situation.
My home theater system pretty much evolved from miscellaneous components I guess i just pieced everything together from the years.
When I sold my last house about 2 years ago i got rid of about everything I owned.
The only thing I kept from my home theater systems was a sony powered subwoofer (i think its 12 inch) and a matching JBL set (center speaker and two rear speakers)
I would say that those components are about 6-7 years old.
When i purchased the house I live in now (a little over a year ago) I bought a phillips 47 inch 1080P LCD tv (the one with the ambient light)
I also bought two smaller JBL front speakers and a harmon kardon AVR146 receiver.
I thought the receiver was cool because it had HDMI inputs... at the time i didn't know that audio wouldnt work through it which kinda made me mad.
I bought a tv stand from walmart the one where the tv mounts to a big arm on it and have everything pretty much just sitting on it with the subwoofer next to it. (I wanted to run the wires to the rear but its going to be a lot of work to do and just haven't had the time.
Well a couple months ago my AVR146 stopped working.. basically i hit the power button and 10 seconds later it turns off. harmon kardon has 2 year warranty but I don't have my receipt so I am pretty much screwed.
I have never been pleased with the JBL center or rear speakers. The newer JBL speakers sound pretty good but i am in no way attached to them.
I basically have been thinking about getting a hole new system or maybe piece something new together
I am just not sure what to buy that is why i am posting this.
The other components I now have in my system is a Panasonic Bluray player, an HD cable box and a media pc with HDMI out.
I would like a receiver that does hdmi audio i like the idea of just using one cable.
I like the idea of a surroundbar so i don't have to run a bunch of speaker wires.
I do think my sony subwoofer sounds good so I could incorporate it into the new system if possible.
Any recommendations would be excellent....
As for price.... i really don't want to go over lets say 600.... but cheaper is even better
