Subject: Way OT: Living Room
Receiver
OK, I know you all are going to have some great advice for me
here.
The receiver that we use in the living room to power a modest
stereo system (a pair of Infinity speakers with 8" woofers) for general
background music purposes just died. It is probably15 years old. A lot has
changed since I bought a receiver. I feel like Rip Van Winkle.
Since I
have a new tv from the beginning of 2008, I am debating between going for a
simple replacement; i.e., a simple stereo home amp (actually, the "receiver"
part is useless out here in the woods anyway) or buying a kind of low-end home
theater audio system complete with receiver and speakers. It's not that
important for me to have surround sound, but if it weren't too much extra $$,
maybe this is a good time for it.
I was hoping to spend under $200 for
the amp alone, wouldn't want to spend much more than $300 for a home theater
system. Not averse to something used - there are a few deals on Amazon that
look good, I just don't even know whether home theater systems in that range
are even worth thinking about.
Thanks for any light you can
shed.
Best,
Warren
